I ask a lot of questions about what it is you have built, and I design graphics that will help you sell it. It should become abundantly clear to your customers that you view great design as vital, as paramount, in the presentation, selling, and use of your hundreds of hours of work. Customers may not be able to describe it, but good design speaks below the sound barrier. You can feel it. This often begins with designing either the look and feel of the project as a whole, or the master logo, the pinnacle identity from which all power flows. Sometimes you spend a hundred bucks offshore to get part of a job done. 

Your identity is not one of them. 

 Identities require cultural comprehension and robust communication.

 

DOONFACE begins with portraits and is the illustration capability of DOON. The world of illustration has risen from it's slumber, no doubt shaken awake by the preponderance of a camera in every hand. DOONFACE rises far above the everyday image. These illustrations are meticulously hand-drawn on the Mac and are intended as alternatives to photographs whilst incorporating photography. They do not sit on the fence, but live on both sides of the fence. Accuracy of character is paramount, whether person or product.

These patterns are created for architectural interiors, and products. I am interested in their being used transparently and translucently. They are large, and as vectors infinitely customizable.

Often design is deployed to reconfigure something done years ago, when, in the scramble to bring a product or service to market, a logo was instituted without adequate time and attention by a design professional. One later sees it needs attention. A The executives at Wynnefield Capital, a financial management company, had used a drawing sketched by an architecture student as their logo for nearly twenty years. I was hired to redesign it, maintaining the identity of the original building which had historical significance for the company. The building was completely redrawn, as was the typography and the design applied to all collateral material.

YES, although it's 2011 we still find the need to hand each other some paper to confirm that we've met. Instead of saying, "no thank you" to a card we accept it, and put it in our pocket, sometimes to be squished by keys and coins. 

DOONCARDS are crafted personal networking cards, the one small physical item in your virtual world. The size of a business card, a DOONCARD is a badge of unique personality and branding, brandished with ease and confidence. This is the true meaning of, "Here is my card." I create each card individually, and their exclusivity and scarcity create their value. DOONCARDS are the competition. They approach the concept of a business card from the inside out. The owner of a DOONCARD starts a DOONCARD.

In the years before I founded the company DOON, I went rafting on visual rivers, never knowing where I would land, and I still don't. These avenues I travel are merging then splitting, ever informed by the moment to moment change about me. This is a little history. These used to be carried as prints in French Pressbook portfolios, and now the weight of the briefcase is gone. Please see more at: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=84266&id=86597828939
