Vespa Ads

Duff — Fri, 27 Mar 2009 18:13:07 +0000

Two display advertisements for the classified section of Automotive News, depicting the heritage and excitement of the hallowed Vespa brand.

The format doesn’t allow much in the way of color, but luckily Pantone Process Blue is very close to classic Vespa blue.

Hollywood Sign History

Duff — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 22:40:53 +0000

Just completed a makeover to the History section of the Hollywood Sign Trust website, which now has an 11 part overview of its original construction and the various ups and downs it has experienced over the years (much like any Hollywood star).

There’s also a ton of interesting historical photos courtesy of a Hollywood photo archive. Amazing to see that quaint casaba field sitting in what it now dense urbanity.

Richard Dill Business Card

Duff — Sat, 14 Mar 2009 20:59:53 +0000

A new business card for Richard Dill and Associates, a consulting firm that provides project management, program management, owner representation, financial services, and more.

The design mimics that of the website we built for them, using a silkscreened image of a building plan schematic to add texture to the piece and illustrate their detail-oriented approach.

Tommy Rickard Website

Duff — Sat, 14 Mar 2009 18:16:55 +0000

A new blog-powered website for singer songwriter Tommy Rickard.

The look uses a dark blue theme with a distressed image of stars for the background. The header winds classic So Cal palm trees, rooftops, silhouetted mountains, and a road to evoke the nighttime mood and sights of living in LA.

This site utilizes a customized WordPress underpinning to power all the content, so Tommy can easily edit pages, add and move photos, post gigs and news, and more without having to touch any code.

This content feeds onto the front page, so fans can check in on news and upcoming gigs without having to dig deeper in the site.

The music player includes a cool javascript player that streams entire songs from his catalog and is completely secure from those that might attempt to download the underlying tunes.

Tommy is finishing up a new full length record, including a song he wrote with Linda Perry called “Jackie.” He’s been putting the record together with his band in Rich McCulley’s Red Hill Recording Studio. Stay tuned!

A business card for Sylvia Young’s Veema and Verve independent distribution business, using the bold corporate colors and logos of these tasty, healthy drinks.

Serby photos

Duff — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 20:48:45 +0000

There’s a ton of our studio and location shots of David Serby posted over at his cool new website.

With a new record “Honkeytonk and Vine” hitting the airwaves any day now, we should be hearing quite a bit from David in the next few months. He’s one of the most exciting things going on in country music here in So Cal right now, and we’re proud to be part of his team.

David Wood aka “DEW”

Duff — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 07:35:13 +0000

David Wood is a traditional country crooner in the style of Ernest Tubbs, with a deep deep bass voice and a song catalog co-written with many of Nashville’s finest writers. Look for his debut album in June 2009.
