Emerald Cup Poster
Posted by Zack Darling | Filed under Art & Design, Events & Festivals
Northern California definitely has it’s own idea of what it means to “go green.” This was a fun project to design as I was able to integrate ganja imagery into a stoic, competitive, championship trophy design. It’s not often you’re asked to surround your designs with pot leaves and I enjoyed the opportunity… mon.
The Emerald Cup is a benefit event in the northern hills of Mendocino County where they celebrate the green life.

Sea Of Dreams graphics…
Posted by Zack Darling | Filed under Art & Design, Events & Festivals
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.

Sea of Dreams Teaser Poster
Posted by Zack Darling | Filed under Art & Design, Events & Festivals
I was happy to discover that the producers of Sea of Dreams sat down and considered a number of various designers in the music industry for this year’s campaign and they chose me! I haven’t designed the S.O.D. poster since 2005 and I’m excited to be a part of this project once again. Here’s the teaser poster that I created last night.
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!

Earthways At Ocean Song
Posted by Zack Darling | Filed under Art & Design, Community, Events & Festivals
I recently completed a poster & flyer for Ocean Song. Ocean Song is a beautiful piece of cooperative land in Western Sonoma County where they host events, workshops and other great stuff. Last summer I went there with a group of 50 friends to do their ropes course. What a thrill!
From the client: Hi Zack, The poster and flyer are amazing and I am so happy with them. I agree that these will draw an enthusiastic crowd, and they really have the feel of the event. Thanks for all of your thorough work on this and for being willing to do the revisions. I appreciate your artistic/graphic design skills- I have worked as a professional textile and surface designer and know what it takes for the chemistry of the design elements to work together. I hope you enjoy the summer, and of course you are welcome at the event as our guest in August if you are so inclined - just let me know. In the meanwhile I hope you have an great summer. Warm Regards, Lisa Baiter Ocean Song

The Techno-Tribal Community Dance 10 Year Anniversary!
Posted by Zack Darling | Filed under Art & Design, Community, Events & Festivals
The 2009 Techno-Tribal Dance poster.
Aaaah my absolute favorite projects every year. This is the 10-year anniversary of the Techno-Tribal Dance and I decided to collaborate with my friend Andrew Jones on this year’s poster. He’s an absolutely brilliant artist and it was an honor to work with him on this project. He illustrated my vision beyond my wildest imagination. From the bottom of my heart, thank you Andrew.
Not only do I have the honor of being the designer of the graphics, but I am also the lead producer of the Mystic Beat Lounge which produces the event with the generous support of the Harmony Festival. I feel blessed to play a role in the production of this amazing show. I’m so thankful to everyone who works on our team to produce this event as well as the thousands of wonderful attendees that come every year. What a magical night. If you don’t know about it, please check out our website (another one of my designs – with my wonderful webmaster Bill Kennedy [AKA InflataBill]) at www.techno-tribal.com .
It’s going to be an amazing show and I hope you all can make it to the party!

This weekend’s late night design work…
Posted by Zack Darling | Filed under Art & Design, Events & Festivals
Ah the fruits of my late night creative time. I often wonder why it is that I don’t get in my super creative “zone” until the wee hours of the night. Maybe it’s the old raver in me.
