Santa Monica Source ID

Santa Monica Source is a website being developed by BM now, but the identity has been completed. The client wanted something that would be immediately identifiable with Santa Monica, CA. Since social media is going to be a big component of the site and be skewed to a younger demographic, BM suggested a symbol influenced by tribal tattoo design.

Client loved the idea and the final execution. Blue Moon will be developing the site, so more information to come.

Finally Flash

It took awhile but once BM got into Flash, it was game on! Flash can be fun once you get over some initial frustrations.

Here are a few animated ad banners created for some new and existing clients. American Express allowed us to add sound effects for their Purchase Protection banner.

Also added a little dramatic music for Hypnotica’s blog banner. And an internet marketing banner for Inner Confidence.

Volume 1 was intended to get attention and introduce people to Hypnotica. It worked. Volume 2? Warm and friendly.

Designed to Sell

The problem with key art for independent films is there is often a low budget involved when they are first released. This usually affects the quality of the key art. So, often even quality films shown at top festivals can’t be sold because the presentation is poor.

A distributor in Hollywood asked me to create fresh key art for their DVDs to help them to sell. Here is the first one I created for The Minority.

Introducing Emplementation

Software engineer Dominic Chang approached me about branding a new start up. After discussing the project, we decided the best approach would be to come up with a unique name for the company. The name emplementation essentially is a combination of “electronic” and “implementation”. Chang also liked the tagline that BM presented, “elegant business solutions.”

The logo and business cards are shown. The start up website is being developed. Check back soon for the final site.

Branding for the Women’s Dating Market

Dating experts Robbie & Brian…or is it Brian & Robbie? Anyway, the guys from Inner Confidence contacted me about branding their new women’s division. They wanted to build on their success in the men’s dating market. I previously developed an identity and branding package for their company which was well received.

They needed to begin marketing online and offline for their new women’s division ASAP. Blue Moon developed a blog and brochures (below) for their first seminar to get them started.

Independent Film DVD Package

The DVD package for the independent film, Moving In has been printed. I worked on the opening titles for the short film. It went well, so filmmaker Chase Gordon asked me to created the DVD package. Stories On Film needed a package quickly so they could send it out to film festivals.

The Leon Jackson Video

Here is the Leon Jackson video for Creative that inspired the No Talent Jones key art in an earlier post. The link in the earlier post has been broken because of copyright issues in the US.

Many people have emailed me asking about Jackson and the song. I like the song and the video. I don’t know why it was never released in the US. That’s the music biz, I guess. The video was used as an inspiration because No Talent Jones will be about a modern day crooner.

Branding Hypnotica

Hypnotica is a personal development guru. With his first DVD – Volume 1, producer Steve Myles wanted a DVD jacket that was impactful to introduce him to the public and establish him as a brand.

I designed a cover that reflected Hypnotica’s intense personality and that looked like he was being interrogated.
