Not only did we create the promotional artwork, but we’re also creating most of the other assets to the festival such as the program guide, apparel, the new site map illustration, advertisements, banners and the skin for their new website at www.earthdancelive.com . It’s a full marketing package that we truly enjoy the chance to create.

If you’re looking for a magical weekend of music, art, community, activism, spirituality, DJs, performance art… all centered around the global Prayer for Peace, we highly recommend you check out Earthdance Northern California 2011.

Plant It Water is a fantastic purified water that offers an conscious alternative to plastic water bottles that are cramming up our landfills. These recyclable paper bottles are made from recycled materials. Furthermore with each bottle purchased a tree is planted in deforested areas with via Trees For The Future. As if that weren’t enough, when you buy a bottle they also make a donation to A Single Drop which helps impoverished people around the world have access to clean drinking water. It’s great to see new businesses taking a conscious role in helping our struggling planet and people.

We worked with them for many months to design a packaging that would be inviting and appealing when sitting on the busy shelves of the supermarket beverage aisle.

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.

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.

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.

I recently completed this year’s campaign design for Sea Of Dreams – an amazing New Year’s Eve event that happens every year in San Francisco. I did their graphics from 2003-2005 and they decided to have me back this year for their 10-year anniversary. Check out seaofdreamsnye.com for more information about the event. Once again I had the honor of working with one of my favorite artists on this design, Andrew Gonzalez. Be sure to check out his website at sublimatrix.com . I can’t wait to see these in print and all over the Bay Area!

Here is the first print version of the poster design. We'll be running another one as more acts are added.

This is the front of the 4"x8" flyer.

Here is the back of the flyer. I particularly like the border and nautilus shells in this piece.

Also, here’s another Art Nouveau version I created that they didn’t end up going with – but I did like anyway.

This is the final version that they chose. It's a glimpse of what's to come for the full campaign.

Although I love the Art Nouveau look, they didn't feel it fit the event. Ah well... someday I'll get to do a Nouveau design!
