Earthdance 2010 Graphics
Posted by Zack Darling | Filed under Art & Design, Events & Festivals, Marketing
I really love the Earthdance Festival. Each year I am given a general theme and allowed to run with it. This is my 9th year doing graphics for this event devoted to world peace, and yet it’s the first one that we incorporated a dove into. I hope you enjoy this artwork as much as I do.

Nomads World Gallery goes live!
Posted by Zack Darling | Filed under Art & Design, Web Development
Today Zack Darling Creative Associates launched Nomads World Gallery . Nomad’s World is a beautiful import store and gallery based in downtown Ukiah, California. The owners, Rita & Chance, are two charismatic globetrotters with impeccable taste in art, design, color and craftwork. Their beautiful store clearly shows their quality taste, and their website needed to as well.
The challenge with this project was to present an enormous amount of visual imagery within a relatively small website. We accomplished this through dynamic interactive galleries that exist throughout the site. Also, we needed to help them present their message of global-mindedness and “true fair-trade” with a unified voice. We interviewed them and created site copy based on the information and our own experience with their store. The result: a colorful and well expressed website that offers a true journey through their gallery, their lives and the world.

The Nomad's World Gallery website is a visual journey through the store, the owners lives and the world.

The Sacred Centers Caduceus Chakra Graphic
Posted by Zack Darling | Filed under Art & Design
One of my lifelong friends and self-adopted mother figures, Anodea Judith, is one of the world’s foremost experts on the chakra system. She is the founder of Sacred Centers and shares her transformational messages though her books, videos and workshops.
Recently she hired me to work with her on a unique image of a caduceus that is inter-related to the chakras, the human body and the planet. Here is the final graphic as well as many of the variations we created along the way.

HydroPacific’s New Look
Posted by Zack Darling | Filed under Art & Design
One of my favorite new clients is HydroPacific – a gardening supply store in Ukiah and Cloverdale. They’ve been wonderful people to work with and I’m really enjoying the project. We’re currently working on a mid-sized online store with over 2,000 products. We’re photographing every one and building the e-commerce system for them now. The design is looking good and I look forward to sharing it with you all when it’s done. Very exciting.
For now, I can share with you some other design work we just completed. HydroPacific has had strong branding from the first opening of their store, but the time has come to help them take it to the next level. Here are a number of examples of some new designs I just completed for them.
