Project: Sanctuary is a unique, annual, campout-party held at an undisclosed location each year. This pool-side, forest camping party features more than 30 top DJs/musicians; includes live performances, the Dodo Bus straight from Burning Man, a tea temple, art, massage, fire-dancing, and more. For this year’s flier we blended ethereal forest imagery with Luiza Leite’s fantastic photography from last year’s event, and sprinkled in a few disco balls for good measure!

Update: Secret Society of Women featured on ABC’s The View in an interview with Lisa Ling!
Role: Creative Direction, Design, Branding, Production
Project: Lisa Ling and Sophia Kim came to us with a challenge: build a world-class social forum for women; a place to share experiences, strength, and wisdom (while still maintaining their anonymity); branded for the modern, sophisticated, stylish woman (not-at-all girly, frilly, or pink); a site that’s expandable, extensible, and flexible enough to handle millions of page-views daily; and complete the entire alpha-site project within 2 weeks—in time to launch during Maria Shriver’s Women’s Conference!! Exkclamation (in conjunction with Leftlane Creative and LYD Labs) rose to the occasion.
Posted: October 2010 | Filed under: Brochures | Client: Temple Media Group
Role: Concept, Art Direction, Design
Project: Situated in the heart of San Francisco’s SOMA district, Temple Nightclub is the first award-winning Green venue in the nation—and plays host to a world-class nightlife experience in an amazing audio-visual environment, as well as housing Prana Restaurant and a sustainable sushi bar.
In approaching the media kit design, we brought to life all the unique spaces that exist inside the compound through vivid color photography, bold colors, elegant typography, and a clean layout. The result is a simple, sophisticated, 24-page snapshot of the venue, and an excellent marketing tool for their restaurant and club promotions. (Download the PDF)

Role: Concept, Art Direction, Design
Project: When DJ M.O.D. approached us with the concept for Throwing Shapes (his monthly Techno/House DJ night), we jumped at the chance. Drawing visual inspiration from the early 1920s German Bauhaus movement—infused with color, texture, and typographic shapes implying movement (playing off the event title)—we had a wonderful opportunity to blend design styles on paper, as the event does music genres.

This pool-side forest event features more than 50 of Northern California’s top DJs; includes live music performances, art, massage, fire-dancing, and more. For this year’s flier, we blended images of forest disco balls with aquatic disco balls as they are both are a big part of the event and are represented all around each year’s campgrounds and meditation spots throughout the event grounds.
