I really enjoyed this work: The Haggadah ... Their mission: 2 for Seder asks any Jew who is holding a Seder to invite 2 people of a different faith to join for their first Seder. In this way, each individual takes a small, powerful step to fight back against the hate (and indifference) that causes antisemitism.

Wonderful client, 2 for Seder, with a lovely mission. It is almost "not like work" when I get to help create projects like this... their Haggadah program.

We did the Rehearsal for the Community 2 for Seder to be held at the Pozez JCC of Northern Virginia this Sunday! Here's the first sneak peek at our new Haggadah, developed specially for the Community 2 for Seder.

Check out the Property Management Association's upcoming PMEXPO 2024... I love when I can sneak the logo into the conference show logo and the client chooses that option! They also already knew they wanted the blue nautical stripes with perhaps an anchor or something simple. They are so easy to work with and this kind of work is my favorite. All my work is by referral... so, if you know someone who needs some graphic design, please let me or them know.

Opening conference video was created for the National Court Reporters Association in Adobe Premiere Pro. They wanted a quick view of Chicago. I usually just create the graphics, but did a quick pinch-hit for the show planners. I still enjoy the music I found for this from Shutterstock, called "Just Bang.wav", by Jam Studio.
Adobe Premiere Pro can be a bear, but you have access to layers to add graphics, loads of photos, fades, music, and control the speed and tempo of it all. I set the images, at times, to hit off-tempo for added interest. I am not sure if I still like watching this because of the music or how the images flow.

Video created for a client's opening ceremony in Chicago. Images sourced from the visitor's center or created.

I resonate waking like this, always trying to remember a dream and see the images building a story, or sometimes solving a design challenge.

So cool... so talented... here you can see the Grammy award winning music video and her artistic approach in her words. She spoke of her 1000+ oil paintings for the making of the video. Enjoy if you had not seen it yet, like me!

🎶
" When I wake up early in the morning,
Lift my head, I'm still yawning.
When I'm in the middle of a dream,
Stay in bed, float up stream (float up stream),
Please don't wake me, no, don't shake me,
Leave me where I am, I'm only sleeping."
🎶 The Beatles ~1966

In the Grammy Award-nominated short film, the artist explores the space between ‘dreaming and wakefulness,’ creating and morphing 1,300 oil paintings by hand to honor the re-release of The Beatles’ seminal 1966 album, ‘Revolver.’

I specialize in brand identity and event design; with so many opportunities to create varied materials. From initial theme to incorporating throughout promotional brochures, ads, exhibitor guides and event signage. Here is one I did for PMA, AI: Technology Property Management (Association):

Jose's Tree Service in action! Our lovely, yet very old, oak tree had to go.😞 His old brand had to go too... if you look close you see a new magnet on his white truck. I am sure you would rather watch this video to see how they take these trees down. It is amazing how they climb them and drop them – the precision, the talent. We did this work partially in trade, he discounted his service and got a new look.

This amazing 'tree guy' came to us, and his brand was all over the place, kinda like our trees. I asked if he wanted new business cards and made them while he cut trees. We took his mismatch brand and struck the middle of his "look" (fast/cheap) and printed double-sided cards, bumper stickers, and 3 different size magnets for different vehicles and his staff shirts still matched well enough (so he didn't need to redo them). ... See the before (he had three designs) and the after products that unified his brand. (My next post may be him taking down a tree, because it is so much fun to watch!)
