design

This was the final film festival program that I designed. Because there were fewer films than in previous years, that gave me much more room to showcase the stills from those films. Much of the advertisements were submitted this year by the sponsors themselves, but a few were created by me.

Programs utilized: Adobe Photoshop CS3, Adobe Illustrator CS3, Adobe InDesign CS2, GIMP, InkScape

laser image, inc. of Sandpoint (and Ponderay), Idaho was growing steadily in 2008 and I sat down with them after they had just moved into their new building to figure out a new image. Their old logo was simply using century gothic font, nothing more. Easy to replicate, but lacks any spark, memorability, nor does it really say anything about what they do: they are not in the laser nor image industry (although technically they do repair printers). It was time for a change.

This ran in numerous outlets leading up to the 2009 film festival.

Again, quick, simply, stylish design, but also featuring easy to decipher contact information as well as a functional QR code which would allow you to scan the card with your mobile and have it automatically import contact info into your phone.

After our move, the Edmonds International Film Festival came together very quickly. This was the second logo we used and stuck with through 2010. It was simple, stylized, and introduced a very primary color scheme. This was intended as a one year design, which would be redesigned in 2011 into a permanent logo.

This was the official program of the 2009 Lakedance International Film Festival. I did all of the design, layout, and handled all printing pre-flights, etc. Many of the ads for the sponsors were designed by me as well. You can download the full program below.

The early 2009 Lakedance logo, now with laser image, inc. as our title sponsor (I also designed their logo). It still features our blue and orange color scheme which was a carryover from the previous year with Schweitzer as our title sponsor. This would change a couple of months before the event to a more elegant black/white/gold/grey color scheme, as you see in the second logo

The final Schweitzer Lakedance logo, used in 2008. In 2009 we acquired a new title sponsor, laser image, inc, and completely revised our logo.

This ran a few weeks before the 2007 film festival as the double truck center of the Inlander, the Inland Northwest's version of a LA or Seattle Weekly.

A very simple map created to show the locations of our sponsors around town. Upper tier sponsors given logos on the map. This was seen on the back page of the large format program.
