The Hydro Pacific Web Campaign
Posted by Zack Darling | Filed under Art & Design, Marketing
In an effort to speak to the motivating influences of Hydro Pacific’s demographic, we needed to create an ad that was creative and edgy enough to draw new visitors to the web store. Many of today’s indoor gardner magazines are urban, grungy and punchy with a twist of organic hippie. With that in mind we designed this campaign design.

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.
