providing graphic design, branding, photography and marketing expertise to denver and the world

Quote of the Week:

Fill this up, already!

I actually really enjoy creating collateral material like point of sale, table tents, and actual merchandise for clients. So when I get to design the art for, say, a pint glass, it's a fun assignment. Here's one I did for a client recently:

Beer-colored background is optional, of course. Once I have the actual glass in-hand, I'll post a photo with real beer behind it. There's a nice second-side design for this one, too. To see that, though, you have to register for the event and get a glass of your own.

One of my other jobs...

...is helping to run a scholarship fund dedicated to helping out environmentally-minded undergrad students. Started up in honor of my late father, the David L. Bucknam Memorial Scholarship Fund is finally on Twitter, Facebook, etc. and you should become a follower/fan/supporter as soon as humanly possible. You know, if you care about the earth, or anything. Which I KNOW you do--which is why I digress from my usual design ramblings here to mention it.

We're holding our fifth annual fund-raiser on September 13th, up at Alderfer-Three Sisters Park near Evergreen, by the way. It's a lot of fun. You can hike or bike around and not even know you're supporting the education of dedicated environmental scientists while you're wolfing down an amazing burger, or brownie, or Breckenridge Brewery Avalanche Ale (thanks, Tebo!). All you have to know is if you come, you'll have a great time.

Go here for more info.

We really wanted 867-5309, but it wasn't available.

We've got a new phone number, courtesy of Google Voice. The old one still works, but this one follows us EVERYWHERE:

Feel free to try it out at 303.351.1717.

Bad UX, bad pose.

I like guys who can pull off a bow tie. My grandfather is one of them. But not this dude, an internet marketer from the UK:

The worst thing about his site on "Internet Marketing" is the horrible form he makes someone fill out in order to simply generate leads:

TEN form fields, just to get an e-mail address? I can't imagine the attrition rate this guy has. Make it a simple e-mail address and a Submit button, and he'd probably increase his lead generation by about 50 percent. And this is a form created by a guy who is SELLING HIS EXPERTISE ON MARKETING USING THE INTERNET. Gah.
