This past summer, my friend Dane Hansen surprised us all and got married. And he did it in typical Dane Hansen fashion: He got Bryan Nivens to take and stylize the photo; he gave me free reign to design the announcement—which was then letterpressed by Rob at Tryst Press; Leo Patrone shot the wedding and the reception; Micah Anderson (along with our myself, Bret Meisenback, and Cedric Anderson) played the wedding march, al a Queen/Flash Gordon; and, finally, the Gatsbys—Micah, Cedric, and Grant Olsen—provided the music at the reception.
Dane, by the way, is an extremely talented designer and flash programmer. He works for Axis 41 in Salt Lake City and helps me out on a bunch of freelance work—including the Film is Not Dead Workshop site, which I just posted on my site, today.
These people—with the exception of Bryan, whom I’ve yet to meet—are the people I generally tackle projects with. Check out their work. It’s great.
Below is a close up of the announcement. It was really fun, challenging, and time consuming to create. Each letter is “hand cut and placed” into the design, using old Type Specimen books that I scanned at ridiculously high resolutions. Some of the lettering was even created for this piece due to missing letters in the samples…
The above photo was snatched from Black Eiffel, but unfortunately the photo isn’t as great as some of the work that’s up now.

This morning, Mark Weinberg was nice enough to bring me into the studio and take some shots (or lots and lots, rather) of the work we completed for him this summer. I haven’t had time to go through the files, select, and edit the images to upload on my site, but that will follow shortly next week. In the meantime, please check out some of his work and vote for an entry of his in the PDN Student Photo Contest.
PS: if you’re reading this in Google Reader or something, take a second and link to the real page. Cody Buell—another great local photographer, as well as a talented programmer—built me a shiny, new blog. Older posts can be found here, if for some reason you need to track something down—like samples of good korean graphic design or the beautiful French type specimens that were stolen from my studio a few months back.
