I would have to say the highlight of the morning was the best man “Bundy”  living up to his reputation of being an absolute nut-job and almost finding his dream date for the wedding — we’ll call her “Roller Girl.”  Poor Bundy almost had the deal sealed, but she quickly fled the scene after taking a digger caused by one too many shots of Jack — like I said, Whiskey at 8 in the morning is brutal. Later that day the ceremony went off without a hitch, good times were had by all, and I wish Heather & John nothing but the very best for their future. Enjoy these events as they were documented through my lens…..(40D / 24-70 f/2.8 L  for all you camera nerds).

“With over 1 billion messages posted every day, social networks are quickly becoming the primary way people discover and share content on the Web. The result is a huge influx of incoming messages and links people must sort through across multiple web sites just to stay up to date,” said Mike McCue, Flipboardʼs CEO. “We believe the timeless principles of print can make social media less noisy, more visually compelling and ultimately more mainstream.” Designed from the ground up for iPad, Flipboard creates a magazine out of a userʼs social content. Simply launch Flipboard and “flip” open the cover to get started. From the Table of Contents readers can view their sections and personalize the magazine.

The Facebook and Twitter sections let readers quickly flip through the latest stories, photos and updates from friends and trusted sources. Because Flipboard renders links and images right in the magazine, readers no longer have to scan long lists of posts and click on link after link – instead they instantly see all the stories, comments and images, making it faster and more entertaining to discover, view and share social content.

Flipboard also lets readers easily create sections around topics or people they care about. Choose from Flipboardʼs suggested sections on topics such as sports, news, tech and style, with content hand-curated from popular and interesting Twitter feeds. Or, create an entirely new section by searching by topic, person or Twitter list to make Flipboard even more personal.

The Flipboard App is available for free at www.flipboard.com or from the App Store on iPad or at www.itunes.com/appstore/.

Earlier this year when WIRED Magazine launched its digital edition (and sold more issues than the newsstand version without cannibalizing print sales) we noted that it was created with InDesign CS5 along with new publishing technologies. Today, we’ve released a short video that overviews these new technologies, including more detail on how they fit into the digital magazine authoring workflow.

Late this summer, we’ll post these new publishing technologies on Adobe Labs so a broad set of media, corporate and retail catalog publishers will be able to create compelling content experiences. Using this Digital Magazine Solution, these publishers can create immersive content without having to hire additional developers or invest in extensive retraining for staff. Publishers can add interactivity without writing code via InDesign and create monetizable digital magazines for the Apple iPad – with other platforms and devices expected in the future.

I’m really excited to get my hands on this software to see how it works, and I strongly believe that this will be a huge step forward in the future of print media.

I told you if you looked close enough you may find my card in this book hahahahaha!!! I would like to thank designer extraordinaire Stacey Lee for encouraging me to spend an absurd amount on my business card and hooking me up with a great print vendor I’m still a bit shocked that these made it in because they’re so minimal, but they do feel very nice in your hand (200lb stock with engraved text ). I would also like to make a shout out to Grace, Katherine & Elfi at Victionary for making it all happen Whoop whoop!!!

DVD Menu & Navigation

Once the box art was done I started working with Jeff @ Cirrius Media on the DVD menu design & navigation. After two weeks of collaboration, this is what we ended up with:

The Packaging

The box shape had already been picked out by the Creative Director prior to me coming on board with this project so it was just a matter of mashing all the elements together and coordinating with the packaging vendor to ensure quality and timelines were met.

Synopsis:

ART & COPY is a powerful new film about advertising and inspiration. Directed by Doug Pray (SURFWISE, SCRATCH, HYPE!), it reveals the work and wisdom of some of the most influential advertising creatives of our time — people who’ve profoundly impacted our culture, yet are virtually unknown outside their industry. Exploding forth from advertising’s “creative revolution” of the 1960s, these artists and writers all brought a surprisingly rebellious spirit to their work in a business more often associated with mediocrity or manipulation: George Lois, Mary Wells, Dan Wieden, Lee Clow, Hal Riney and others featured in ART & COPY were responsible for “Just Do It,” “I Love NY,” “Where’s the Beef?,” “Got Milk,” “Think Different,” and brilliant campaigns for everything from cars to presidents. They managed to grab the attention of millions and truly move them. Visually interwoven with their stories, TV satellites are launched, billboards are erected, and the social and cultural impact of their ads are brought to light in this dynamic exploration of art, commerce, and human emotion.
