National Geographic

Out of the blue a colleague sent me a revised version of a mock-ad we did at the University of North Texas. Here it is! Design by Greg Poszywak, photography by me.

BEcause, BEcause, BEcause, BEcause, BEcause!

BEcause of the wonderful things BE does! Bethany Bauman is a (super cool awesome) graphic designer living in Viet Nam and she created the program/poster/ticket designs for this weekend's performances of The Wizard of Oz - put on by the Ha Noi (not Kansas) International Theatre Society. So turn that frown upside down Toto, you'll be back to the cornfields before you know it and BE will be designing something new and exciting.

Here is her work from the show:

Bethany made a unique ticket for each performance:






...and one last precious parting shot of our dear Toto:

identity

In developing my own style, I've been helped along the way by a number of designers, musicians and other photographers. Much of my immediate identity comes from my business card (front side pictured above) and one of my favorite avatars (below). The business card design is incredibly simple, but between the front & back sides, designer Paul Treviño and I had about 3 hours of discussion on simple spacing, font, font size, printing & cutting. I always have to laugh at how much time is put into good design, and how difficult it is to make something so simply elegant.

On the same day I grabbed a few shots of saxophonist Matt Gawlik, who is now based in Florida. Matt's also assisted me on a couple of shoots - check future blogs for images.

Denton & Design

These are fun shots from a collaboration with Micah Wimberley, a fellow UNT alumni. We also worked together on the project featured on my last blog "Dallas & Design."


Micah is a cool designer.
