Busy little bees

We have been super busy with client projects as we prepare to wrap up our work and head to Europe for 4 weeks of design inspiration.

Our client list has really grown in the last month! We are very excited with the work and have really enjoyed a fantastic creative relationship with each of our clients.

Here is who we have been designing for most recently:

• Forza Institute - San Diego, CA - Team building/speaker
• MB Realty, Inc - Danville, CA - Real Estate
• Sterling Pacific, Inc - Berkeley, CA - Property Management
• Bellevue Healthcare - Bellevue, WA - Healthcare supplier
  
• Project Peace - Berkeley, CA - Community Empowerment
• Intel Research Berkeley - Berkeley, CA - Scientific Research
• Flory Construction - San Leandro, CA - Commercial Construction
  
• Lisa Blanchard Design - Seattle, WA - Interior Design

We also just launched the splash page for Forza Institute

Here are some of the brand identities we have designed for them:

LSMP Fundraiser

Recently Stephanie and I had the opportunity to photograph an amazing fundraiser for a non-profit we work with in West Oakland, Lafayette School Mentor Program.

Inspiration from Nature

This past weekend Stephanie and I spent some time camping along the coast of California, near Half Moon Bay. We were able to experience all the elements of nature: earth, wind, fire and water. It was good to get back to the basics.

Our Recommended Event Registration Tool

Have you ever heard of EventBrite? It could be your business' or non-profits' most helpful tool for promoting, and hosting an event. Sure there are sites out there that you can have people register with for a birthday party, but when you want to have a simple yet serious tool (think Gmail) to get the job done for a very reasonable rate this is the top choice.

I have done lots of research for my clients to find the top picks for email marketing, event registration, blogging, and organizational tools. EventBrite is being used now by most of my clients including a university in Seattle.

Register your next event with EventBrite

Battle of the Salsa Bands

One of our most favorite clients, and a non-profit we work in the community with is Project Peace. Over our long term relationship we developed the brand identity, website, postcards, and event promotions. This brings us to our latest project, the Battle of the Salsa Bands fundraising event this weekend in downtown Berkeley.

Stephanie designed the look and feel for this Caribbean salsa slam. Her amazing poster (pdf) features blaring latin horns, floating musical notes an exiting color palette and neo-retro typography.

It's not to late to RSVP for the non-profit fundraising to support and build up a good institution working for good in our Berkeley and Oakland communities.

Check out the custom EventBrite registration page we made:

Findings from the A LIST APART Survey, 2008

The folks at AListApart.com released the 2008 survey on webdesign. They decided to create a website and convert findable, accessible XHTML table data into clear and beauteous CSS charts instead of the usual PDF format. 30,055 took the survey!

Steadfast Make My Heart CD

One of the cool projects we have had the honor to work on is a new CD for Christ Church. We have had a great time creating comps for this project and working closely with the mastermind behind it, the very talented musician Jeff Rolka.

After some great discussions we finalized this fantastic design. Kudos to Stephanie for her amazing hand drawn stainglass.

Over all the design represents hope and reassurance. Tapping into the future color palettes of 2009 and 2010 and combining it with a handmade feel really captures what this homegrown project is all about.

Flory Construction

We have been working with the fantastic local construction company, Flory Construction. They had recently had a total brand redesign, working with the incredible Wonderful Union from our old neighborhood in Seattle.

Flory Construction came to us to incorporate their new branding materials into various forms. One of our favorites have been to design decals for their job site trucks.

On the move

Last week, like many in this economy, we were hit with a big blow, learning that several of our big planned projects fell through due to the lack of funding from our clients. However this week we got a whole new boost from some of our long term clients. Some of the stimulating projects I am sure you will hear more about are:

• album art and promotions for a new record
• event promotions and poster for a concert and fund raiser for Project Peace
  
• possible large web project for a non-profit

In other news, we are getting organized and in the flow of things with the help of Basecamp to manage all of our projects and keep our heads straight. That and of course a daily dose of our new Bay Area favorite espresso from Barefoot Coffee Roasters made on our stove top with our Bialetti Moka Express.

Roadshow Website Launch

Stephanie and I just launched a huge site for a nationwide, 20 dates, 5 bands, roadshow tour. This was a big undertaking as many parties were involved from major record labels, concert promotion teams, art direction from Simply Design, band management and more.

"The diverse line up boasts current GRAMMY® nominee and multi-platinum band MercyMe, Award-winning and multi-Gold selling male vocalist Jeremy Camp and Hawk Nelson, as well as new and burgeoning bands Tenth Avenue North and Addison Road. The tour will hit over 20 U.S. Markets."

"In addition to bringing a night of exciting performances, the tour is also dedicated to a bigger purpose: helping kids with juvenile diabetes via “Imagine A Cure,” a non profit organization to support research that will lead to a cure. and those with medical needs around the world through Compassion International."-the {m} media collective

We did the entire site design, CSS/HTML and Flash work. We also did all the promotional online banners, custom MySpace and Facebook and content development.

Be sure to check out Stephanie's handy work on the promo ecard!

Another CASE Award!

Periodicals distributed online or through e-mail for any audience. Includes online versions of print periodicals.
Online Response Magazine

Last entry we told you about how we earned a CASE District VIII* Silver award for the Study Abroad website at Seattle Pacific University. I just learned that we also won a BRONZE for Online Response Magazine in the broad category of Periodicals which covers E-mail or Web-Based Newsletters & Magazines!

This is really exciting since this was one of the last projects I worked on while on staff at Seattle Pacific University in the marketing and communications department. In fact on my last week in Seattle, just before we moved I put the final touches on the Response site!

When I first started on staff at SPU I restructured the online magazine format to be more readable and usable, but was never quite satisfied because we were still rolling out mini-sites and did not have a landing page/centralized location to settle.

After some great conversations with the magazines editor and online editor, I finalized some wireframes and began to build out the site. We later added in video integration with embeded videos from a YouTube account!

Getting set up in the Bay Area

oakland blue, originally uploaded by pbo31.

Well we recently transitioned back to the beautiful San Francisco Bay Area. Mazzarello Media and Arts will be going full time starting February 1, 2009 in Oakland, CA.

We are very happy to offering our services full time with no competition of day jobs! It is a big step and we are excited for the opportunity.

In this rough economy, affording an internal design team is expensive, that is why we think this is a great opportunity for you and for us. Let Mazzarello Media and Arts fill your design needs without having to pay for your own in-house design team or pay for a large design company with high overhead.

Shoot us an email with your needs and we can evaluate if we are a good fit for you. bryan@mazzarello.com

SPU's Response Magazine Online

At last the first ever front page for Response Magazine online is live! Never before has Seattle Pacific had a front page for the magazine. For almost a decade the site has been the current issue. Now they have the ability to stay up to date with their audience with a new format. They are now set up to add videos, new stories and web exclusives. The magazine editor said, "Thank you Hope and Bryan, for your creativity and hard work on this site. It looks beautiful, and even more important, it will allow Response to do some pretty exciting new things in the future. Great job!"

Teaching Design

As you may know I am an adjunct art professor at Seattle Pacific University. Here is a link to my class blog for Art 2201 Intro to Computer Art. Check out their amazing work on their book covers. This was the second class project. They used Photoshop and Illustrator to build a front, back, spine and inside and back flaps.

The Big News!

I just realized we have not announced our big news on this blog yet! So sorry, my blog readers, to leave you in the dark for so long. OK so are you ready for the news? Are you really ready? Are you sitting down?

Stephanie and I are taking Mazzarello Media and Arts full time on February 1, 2009!

That is right! We are really going for it! Stephanie and I decided the time is now. We are going for our dream. I have always thought about having my own design company ever since I was at university in the mid nineties and now we are making it happen. Along with the big transition we are also moving back to California. We realize that we can run our business from anywhere so we are returning to the San Francisco Bay Area, where we feel most at home. Since we have Pacific North West clients, Bay Area clients and Southern California clients we are centrally located!

We would appreciate you helping to get out the word for us.

Paul Rand

Ever since my History of Graphic Design course I took as an undergrad I have been fascinated with designers that have come before me, especially graphic designers from the pre-computer era. Some of my favorites are Saul Bass and Paul Rand.

Watch this video:
For his posthumous induction into The One Club's Hall of Fame for 2007, Imaginary Forces created a short film, combining original animation with a videotaped interview of Rand himself, that encapsulated his unique and timeless contribution to the design community.

A New Brand World

I just finished reading, A New Brand World: Eight Principles for Achieving Brand Leadership in the 21st Century. It was written by brand expert Scott Bedbury who helped brand Starbucks and Nike, including the Just Do It campaign, and now runs his own business Brandstream.

I stumbled across the book in my office and the title intrigued me and I ended up reading it most of the time commuting on the 17 from Ballard to Queen Anne.

An easy and relevant read from a real brand expert. I loved reading the inside stories of top brands. Bedbury has a unique insider voice that makes it easy to understand and clear what we must do as companies helping to shape real brands.

Check it out.

Project Peace Postcard

Stephanie and I have had the privilege to work with Project Peace in Berkeley, CA. We have been able to be in on the ground level working on the brand starting with the logo and color palette as well as the the website, business cards, and now most recently a postcard handout to create greater awareness at an upcoming service project, Day of Peace.

Support Project Peace:
www.projectpeaceeastbay.org

Project Peace connects the resources of local churches with the needs of social service providers and agencies in Berkeley, Oakland, and surrounding areas.

Project Peace hopes to cultivate a merciful and just society by creating a network of churches and social service providers working together to better our local East Bay communities and cities.

SPU: Study Abroad Website

In spring the VP for Academic Affairs at SPU contacted the web team at SPU and asked for us to create a dynamite website for the study abroad programs at the university. They were in the process of bringing together all of the programs under one coordinator and wanted to consolidate all the information into one place.

My team and I had the privilege of getting to research and present our ideas for the site and they went over very well. A couple weeks ago I really started to dive in and crank on the site. My student workers jammed and our copy edit team did a wonderful job. The site was finished on Thursday, after almost 50 hours of design, in time for the accreditation team to view it. So far it is getting really good reviews from faculty staff, and most importantly students.

The site has some cool features I am proud of including integration of Flickr Flash photo albums and Pictobrowser photo feature, Google Maps API, clean CSS (thanks to Jason Herman's help), strong navigation, clear hierarchy, and beautiful photography.

Nikon D300

Well after much debate, online research and field research we elected to go with the Nikon D300. We also go the Nikkor Lens 18-200mm. Thanks to Douglas at Talls Camera in the University Village store. We are really happy with our purchase and look forward to offering a higher quality images for our clients.

Happy Autumn

We are busy-busy right now. I just started teaching Intro to Computer Art at Seattle Pacific University. It is going really well and I am super impressed with the students.

We also just took on Breakthrough Collaborative newsletter project. We will be designing a whole new look for their national newsletter and designing their donation envelope. Be sure to check back for the finished piece next month.

Stephanie is busy designing a website for the band Diving Blind. I am sure she will post some screenshots and links.

We also are planning a total re-brand of Mazzarello Media and Arts in 2009.

Trubion Flash File

This summer Stephanie and I were contacted by Graphica to create a Flash intro window for Trubion, a Seattle biopharmaceutical company.

View the site

Graphica is a Seattle design agency with a client list like: AT&T Wireless, Cascade Natural Gas, Viking Bank

Trubion Pharmaceuticals is a biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of novel medicines to treat inflammatory disease and cancer.

Photos featured in Healing Arts

If you have seen the magazine racks lately you may have noticed the cover of Healing Arts with a cover story called Responsible Capitalism: Conversation with Gerald Prolman, founder and CEO of Organic Bouquet.

In the article my portrait of Gerald Prolman in a Biodynamic Lavender field in Napa, California is featured. The photograph was originally going to appear in the Wall Street Journal several years ago, but the photo was not used. I will never forget the amazing smell of all those rows of fresh lavender and the humming of thousands of happy bees working away.

Also the story features a photo from one of my greatest career moments when my CD artwork, signed by legendary gospel singer and composer Edwin Hawkins, is presented to San Francisco Mayor Newsom at World Environment Day 2005.

An Event Apart

We head out tonight to go down to San Francisco for an awesome web design conference, An Event Apart, from the cool guys behind the helpful site, AListApart.com.

I went last year in Seattle and it completely transformed the way I design sites now (I am not afraid of CSS anymore). I am really looking forward to this conference. I know I will come away inspired and creatively charged, not to mention the City is always an awesome place to go for inspiration!

We just created a Mazzarello Media and Arts Facebook page. Now you can join as a fan!

Seattle 48 Hour Film Project

Several weeks ago Stephanie and I were asked to join Stop Talking Productions and help them with the Seattle 48 Hour Film Project. We had no idea what we were getting ourselves into, but it sounds like a lot of fun.

Read about the full story on our personal blog about how we won Best Story and the Future Watch Award.

Redesign of School of Theology Website

At the university I recently launched a new School of Theology website! 57 design production hours later we are live with a whole new site.

The dean of the School of Theology, had the following to say:
“This is a great site, and I want to thank you for the excellent way in which you listened to our needs and executed it in a timely fashion -- given all of the other tasks that you have before you! Please give our deep appreciation to your entire staff. It is a blessing to have such tremendous folks to work with.”

The site's major improvement is the readability, navigation and ability for internal staff to easily update the site using Adobe Contribute. We also added a whole new graduate section to the website.

MercyMe Shirts

As a designer, I look forward to the times where I can really be creative and challenge myself. One of the joys in working for MercyMe is the creative freedom I am given, especially in regards to shirt designs. One shirt in particular has become a favorite of mine. I loved creating the hand drawn illustration/type and the vibrant color that was chosen. As a new tour is around the corner, I look forward to more opportunities to create.

Bart Millard - Hymned Again

I recently finished a website for Bart Millard's new album "Hymned Again". Shatrine Krake, at Simply Design, had created a fun design to promote the release of the new album, so we decided to take that look and incorporate it into the website. The result is a fun site that serves as a great way to know more about "Hymned Again" and the process of making it. Be sure to check out the music and keep an eye out for "Hymned Again" being released on August 19th.

Redesign of Student Academic Services

At the university, I recently launched a redesign of the Student Academic Services website. This is the first time the site has been enhanced since it launched last decade, or at least that is my impression.

New features include a very enhanced FAQ called "Get Answers" which breaks down the hundreds of questions prospective students and current students have into simple categories and then has a very clean and custom Spry Ajax effect of an accordion answers.

Robert Noyce Scholarship Website

A recent assignment at the university was to create a first time website for the Robert Noyce Scholarship that appeals to potential scholarship applicants and current scholars at the graduate and undergraduate level. This site will be used by community college counselors and professors, SPU counselors and professors, and students looking for financial aid.

The Robert Noyce Scholarship program, named for the co-inventor of the semiconductor and co-founder of Intel, is a partnership grant from the National Science Foundation for science, engineering, technology, and mathematics (STEM) majors.

The program aims to meet the growing local and national need for better-qualified teaching professionals in the STEM fields. The program also seeks to channel these teachers into local districts with high-need students.

Simpleville Music

I had the great opportunity to do Simpleville Music's new website with MediaGlo's wonderful talent on the backend/content management. Simpleville is one of the brightest up-and-coming independent music publishing companies in Nashville, and they were a pleasure to work with. Their desire was to have a site that reflected their name with a touch of whimsy and a sense of community, and I am happy to say we were able to achieve that.

A Green Church

At the end of May 2008 we were approached by Jose Figueroa in Berkeley, CA to develop a logo and a possible website for his green church consulting business he will be launching in August 2008. After some talks and negotiations we were able to start this ideal project. It was such a thrill to know that not only was Jose interested in creating a green consulting businesses to help churches become more sustainable, he himself is an ordained pastor. How cool is it that the idea came not from just the business world but from inside of the church itself?

The logo itself is based on the idea of growth of the "garden" and renewal with the shades of green and the playful watering can makes it contemporary and a strong graphic easily identified whether it was a small printed graphic on a product box or a large masthead on website.

It was a pleasure to work with Jose and we are now looking into a Phase 1 of his website needs.

Caffe Santoro

We have been working with a new coffee shop start up in the Sacramento area now for a couple of months and just finished the logo for Caffè Santoro. We are really happy with the final product.

The client liked the focal point of the logo to be the letter "S" and resonated with the aged and hand-crafted look of it, as well as acting almost as a seal or crest. The text part of the logo uses a very clean and modern typeface that resonates with European Moderism. The final color palette is warm and familiar and relates well the the interior of the coffee shop's Tuscan color scheme.

Executive Summary for International Non-Profit

Recently Mazzarello Media and Arts was contacted by a well known and respected international educational non-profit in San Francisco. The goal was to transform their executive summary Word file into a stunning presentation document to present to corporate and foundation funding prospects.

We knew the turn around time was going to be really tight, before we even won the account. We ended up receiving the final text and images on Friday and delivered the final product on Sunday night, with a few minor edits on Monday morning.

Breakthrough's team was a pleasure to work with and was very organized. It always is so helpful when our clients know exactly what they want and are open to creative choices. It really helped that they already had a great color palette on previous materials and a clean aesthetic.

Here is an encouraging testimony to our work:
"The funders we presented it to were absolutely blown away by the materials he put together. They are so impressed that such a small organization has such professional pieces – I’m getting serious kudos around here for connecting our organization to Bryan and am incredibly grateful for his work. He is so talented and great to work with!"- Zoe, Annual Fund and Events Specialist at Breakthrough Collaborative

Current Projects

We are wrapping up wireframe concepts for a redesigned website for Bellevue Healthcare, in Bellevue, WA. We had a great meeting this week with an initial wireframe concepts presentation and we will finalize the the changes this week. We will then move into the design phase of "skinning" the site and adding in the look and feel.

We are also concepting a logo treatment for Caffè Santoro, a brand new coffee shop in the greater Sacramento, CA area. This has been a lot of fun finding inspiration from our photos from our 2006 Italy trip.

Camera solution

After a nice chat with our buddy Joel, from Joel Flory Photography, this weekend in the Bay Area we are most likely looking at getting the Nikon D300. As far as a great entry level pro camera, it has all the features we could want and more.

Camera hunting

So we are in the midst of a camera hunt. The hunt seems to dredge up all sorts of emotions of people with loyalties to Canon or Nikon. I tihnk we are impartial at this point, however I have only owned Canon, from my 35mm film camera I took with me on my first travels to Europe, to the video camera we took on our honeymoon, to the sweet little Canon A620 we took our last trip to Sicily.

At this point we are leaning towards the Nikon D300 as a great entry pro camera, but time will tell. We hope to be adding more photography to our list of services shortly.

Why blog?

So we decided we would like to blog about our experiences as designers and the work we do. Hopefully it will be a place for sharing our experiences as we grow our business but more importantly our creativity.

We have retroactively added in design posts from our personal blog. You can read them below.

Website Launch - Reconciled: A Gospel Symphony

Seattle Pacific University’s acclaimed Gospel Choir and Wind Symphony's concert, Reconciled needed a new site to reflect the new design campaign materials.

Not only did we create a new site, we rebuilt the site to fit the campaign and creativity of the concert itself. We created a YouTube account and uploaded videos from a past performance and embedded a special playlist of videos in the Video page of the site. The site was completed in less than 15 hours of work.

www.spu.edu/reconciled

Website Launch - The John Perkins Center

I had the pleasure of getting to design, build and recently launch the new SPU John Perkins Center website. This was such a cool project as I have been so impacted by John Perkins, the man. He wrote a book in the 70's called Let Justice Roll Down, which I read last year and was blown away.

One Amazon review said,

"Let Justice Roll Down is a powerful testimony to what can happen if one person has the courage to combine evangelism with social activism. John Perkins is one of our living heroes of the civil rights era who walked into the wilderness of racism and ignorance to minister to the poor and speak on the issues of racial reconciliation. "

The vision of the SPU John Perkins Center "is to see generations of global urban leaders, organizations, and institutions engaging the culture and changing the world by modeling reconciliation and contributing to community health and wholeness." This is something I can get behind!

So after over 100 hours of design and programming we launched the John Perkins Center website.

About the John Perkins Center at SPU
Founded in 2004, the John Perkins Center for Reconciliation, Leadership Training, and Community Development at SPU became a first of-its-kind partnership between the John Perkins Foundation of Jackson, Mississippi, Seattle Pacific University, and Christian community leaders throughout the Pacific Northwest.

Website Launch - MercyMe Site!!!

So after a lot of hard work over the past couple of months the brand new MercyMe site is up.

Stephanie is really happy with how it turned out and super thankful for the awesome backend work done by MediaGlo which will make updating in the future much easier. The site is full of useful, helpful and fun stuff...as every band site should be. Oh yeah and there is an additional flash site for the new album she worked on a few of months ago for people to interact with too.

Website Launch - Imagine a Cure

Here is the newest work that Stephanie has done for Simply Design. She is very excited about helping out such a wonderful cause and it was a great opportunity to learn more about the needs of children and families dealing with Juvenile Diabetes. Check out imagineacureonline.com to find out more about how you can help.

Website Launch - NoahsArcade.com

We had the unique opportunity to work with a longtime friend and Biola Art colleague Allyson Wagoner. Ally and I were great friends at Biola in the art department as well as swing buddies too at Memories Swing Club.

After Biola Ally worked in the fashion industry for some very big brand names, until one day she decided she wanted to strike out on her own. She and a friend started a clothing company for parents who did not want to settle for the typical little boy shirts with dump trucks and trains.

Check out the site and see her excellent design work and Stephanie's amazing Flash work!

Website Launch - Megan K Photography

Well Mazzarello Media and Arts has just launched another website for a new photographer from Southern California. We had the privilege of building the brand with Megan. We were given the chance to create a logo identity, color palette and business card and then her website. Check her site out and let us know what you think or better yet, if you live in So. Cal., book her.
