RESOUND CONFERENCE 2010 – Flyer Design

jarrod — Fri, 02 Jul 2010 17:14:26 +0000

Here is a little design work I did for Vinelife Church in Boulder, Colorado. This is a 6×9 flyer which will be sent out by mail and handed out at other events around the country for the next few months. The art and design for the whole conference is a collaborative effort including Luke Humbrecht and Chase Beck. Between the 3 of us we’ll be putting together some killer stuff throughout the summer and fall for this thing.

The conference itself is going to be an amazing time. It’ll be a full weekend of teaching, equipping and mad creativity oozing everywhere. It’s gonna be all about the arts…..arts…..arts.

Put in the Work

Put in the work

Life is funny then it’s not so funny then its funny again. Being an artist can be fun and then at times not so fun. Theres ebb and flow. I’ve noticed that it’s not so fun when I fall into a wave of thinking that awesome things will just happen by themselves. I can just sit there and watch amazingness pop out of nowhere, but I’m always waiting for it, dreaming about it. I confess, I have been a lazy artist. Instead of putting in the work, I end up believing all the excuses my mind can come up with on why I need to put this project off or wait till friday to start that project… then the ideas fade and nothing happens.

LAME!

FRUSTRATING!

I’M OVER IT!

Anyways. My latest 2 and 1/2 year excuse for not running after my dreams was because I’m married, have 2 kids under 3 years old and I’ve got an 8-5 job only for the money. Well, my wife is insanely supportive of the artist and free spirit in me, my kids are just awesome and I do want to spend as much time with them as possible which I need to do in the evenings and on the weekends, my job- its serving its purpose by paying some bills. So I have no excuses for what is actually just straight up laziness.

This morning I woke up at 5am, was at Starbucks working on art from 5:30-7am. My new creative schedual booster. Instead of waiting for inspiration. Create it. You guys feel me?

Bonnie and The Clydes – Band Photography

Heres a snappy little group shoot. Shot with a Canon 7d Rental from Pro Photo Rental. Bonnie and The Clydes. This was a very last minute thrown together “my first time in a photo studio” shoot. Shot this at a friends studio, it was super fun and my very limited view of photography just opened up a TON! Can’t wait for more studio sessions. I love big lights. Seriously though.

These were taken for some quick local promo stuff for the band until we can get a legit concept shoot put together and done.
