T-Shirt/Logo Design for WPPI Speaker

Posted on March 7, 2012 by JUSTEN HONG

We recently went to Las Vegas for the 2012 Wedding and Portrait Photographers International tradeshow, more commonly knows as WPPI. I believe it is the largest photography tradeshow in the World with an attendance close to 16,000 people.ย  We went there for a couple reason: 1) to support our friend and client Salvatore Cincotta who spoke to a packed platform class of approximately 800 people about taking their business to the next level.ย  And 2) to offer his class and others a limited time special on logo design and branding.ย  For those of you who don’t know Sal, he is an international award winning photographer, speaker, educator and published writer.ย  His class featured a live performance by Ingrid Michaelson (courtesy of Song Freedom), a t-shirt gun, free giveaways, Q and A’s and more, not to mention some excellent tips and business advice for photographers. One of Sal’s main speaking points is about finding and using what he calls your X Factor, defining what’s different about your company and using it to your advantage.ย  Since this is one of his core messages he wanted some X Factor t-shirts made to give away during his speech, or should I say blast them into the crowd using a t-shirt gun.ย  You can see the t-shirts we designed below.

Visual Lure Celebrates Its 10 Year Anniversary

Posted on February 23, 2012 by JUSTEN HONG

We’ve been so busy designing world class logos, design savvy, user friendly, search engine optimized websites, award winning packaging designs and more, that we almost forgot we’ve officially been in business for 10 years (freelancing even longer, since the mid 90’s). We would like to thank all our customers, past and present, for the support and partnerships we’ve built. We couldn’t have done it without you.ย  We look forward to many more years to come.

Doyald Young, Logotype Designer

Posted on November 14, 2011 by JUSTEN HONG

I just noticed that Doyald Young passed away earlier this year.ย  Doyald was a master logotype designer and world class typographer.ย  I had the pleasure of meeting him at a St. Louis AIGA lecture a couple years ago.ย  He was kind, witty and had a special demeanor and presence that made you feel instantly comfortable.ย  Here is a great video showcasing him and some of his work.

RIP Steve Jobs.

I can not recall every being this sad when someone I’ve never met passed away. I am a designer, a techie, a music lover and a movie addict – all of which Steve made better in one way or another. Because of him, I have never owned a computer that didn’t have an apple on it. Thank you for making my job and life easier and more enjoyable. May you rest in peace.
