expanding their schedule of events and journalistic coverage rapidly, contentnext issued these editorial & event calendars to inform readers, constituents and regular event attendees of new event offerings and more frequent market coverage in several convenient formats. in keeping with their style, these brochures are terse, to the point, and easy to mail in a lightweight format.
in its second year, the econsm conference took place on april 29, 2008, at the skirball cultural center. since this is a springtime conference involving outdoor spaces, and since social media companies tend to have bubbly color palettes, i did a bright selection of spring colors to get the conversations flowing. once again, i did all the signage, print collateral and wall projection graphics. contentnext will be adding a few more conferences and seminars, so this will be part of a series that reflects the current topics for the year.
kicking off a new year for contentnext with a complete media kit and investment prospectus. these guys are growing and expanding their popular events and publications, so i put them into a clean format of the over-arching corporate identity that ties together their individual media outlets, tells their story and outlines editorial and event goals for the coming years. the first is a media kit for advertising in online blogs, newsletters and sponsoring events, followed by an investment prospectus to gain funding for growth into future endeavours. together with letterhead and stationery, they have a very recognizable identity that rolls out to most any print or online format, and umbrellas over sub-brands nicely.
super-cute los feliz boutique and wellness center, being in la has a full menu of services, headed up by the extensively knowledgeable jenette serrins. what i really liked about this job was getting to know the business owners, their philosophy and approach to beauty and wellness. they’ve got a new yoga student [me] out of the deal, too!
contentnext’s fall conference, the future of business media, examines the future of business and trade industry with all the changes brought by digital media. another full day of panel discussions populated by industry leaders and exclusive networking opportunities—i love projects like this because they’re full of great offerings that make the design a natural extension of the brand. and check the graphics projected on the wall during the kickoff party!
i just did the collateral for EconSM, a conference put on by contentnext that focuses on business deals in the social media ecosystem. for the first in an annual series, we kept the look fresh and clean with a simple color palette. this event was filled to capacity and a rousing success, so i’m already planning out next year’s revamp.
trepan cultivates mutation in forms and styles of reading and writing, discarding traditional barriers between genres and forms, seeking out unexpected openings, and creating them where necessary.
it took us awhile, but better late than even later. a literary journal like trepan demands a clean, reader-friendly layout that’s easy on the eyes. we made it highly readable with a spin on a lost-era letterpress pharmaceutical manual to make it endearing.
copies are still available at trepan.org
earthlink’s new booth is here! the municipal networks division works with cities around the country to partner in offering wifi services. this booth backdrop and set of banners provide a lively exhibit space that illustrate the connectivity of municipal wifi.
la-lit interviews poets and writers in the los angeles area, and records them for podcast [available on itunes]. i recently created this set of logos and color palette for them for use on their web site and identity materials, which has spun off into a very cute stationery setup.
