Indie Jonesing

Just finished up a poster for the indie - Indie Jonesing. See the film at the INDIE SPIRIT FESTIVAL in COLORADO April 19 - 22 2012. Now to build their new website!

Flavors.me

This site might just put me out of business - but I just had to share it for all my actor friends out there who want a simple site that they can design and create themselves. Flavors.me is a great place for this. First off - It's free! Or if you have your own url - you can add that and much more for a low yearly price.

I played around on it today and it is very intuitive and fun to use. It has a ton of awesome fonts to choose from (from my fonts.com - where I go for fonts most of the time) and it is super customizable. You can add your own logo, images, videos, text, and color scheme. 

But the most fun is the live stream of any of your social networking pages. You can add your twitter feed, your blogger page, instagram, facebook, linkedin - you name it.

I have the free one set up here: http://flavors.me/inkadinka

Wedding Bells are Ringing!

For Andrew and Nicole that is.

So excited was I when Nicole emailed and asked for help with their save the dates. Their friend Egle made some adorable drawings for them and Nicole wanted to incorporate a fave one. It was an easy task as this drawing was fabulous and told me everything about the design. Whimsical, modern and organic where some words that popped into my head and luckily Nicole and Andrew agreed...

 

I cannot wait to start work on their invitations! 

ThresholdArts E-book

I finally got to design something I have been wanting to do for a long time! An interactive book, with flipping pages. After some research I used BOOKLET a plugin using jquery and I also found a rad Moleskine type design. Background image is a free texture from Artist Dyrk Wyrst - he has some really beautiful stuff. Most of the images are also from his flickr feed actually. His moody images really go well with what ThresholdArts is trying to convey. I added Marylizs music as an mp3 - just by embedding it. Don't know if this is the best way to do it. But it plays well and you can use the play pause controls. Note: it does take alittle while to download if you are viewing the page in Firefox.

Check it! 

Brotherpalooza Invite

Just wanted to share a fun invite I created for the event: BROTHERPALOOZA.
Had a lot of fun searching through images of pin ups girls from the 50's. The invite itself is also based off of an old advertisement for camel cigarettes.

Maryliz Smith Website

Just finished up a site for performance artist Maryliz Smith. She wanted it simple and stunning. Her current site used black as a background making it alittle too severe, but since she wanted to keep it on the darker side, we swapped the black out for a nice dark gray with a yellow tone. We also added text and navigation buttons in green. To keep with her organic feel.

Looks good! The beautiful nature images on her site are from flickr. Photo artist Dyrk Wyst. I also added a music player built with javascript and HTML 5. I'm still having issues with it and the current firefox, but hoping to resolve the issues soon!

I am also currently working on a type of e-book for her. Exciting stuff as I can start to utilize HTML5. There are so many possibilities for sound and animation!

M Public Relations NEW site!

After much anticipation I am happy to reveal the NEW website of Vancouver, BC public relations company - M P R. They wanted something clean, modern and androgynous, with a flash of purple. To match their fabulous logo, created by a Vancouver graphic designer. So this is what we ended up with:

We also added a wicked slideshow for the home page and a twitter feed. Looks awesome! SO happy to have been able to work with Morgan and Mieka and I wish them the best of luck on their new endeavour!
