Fun in the Sun
So obviously most of my design work is really gritty and dark. Right now I am working on some promotional materials for my company's presence at the 2009 Shot Show - which is the biggest industry show of the year. It's not a gun show in the sense that most people are probably used to, it's a dealer show, which means firearm manufacturers and distributors like my company set up booths at the show, and people who own gun shops will be the guests walking the floor and buying stuff to stock in their stores. Anyway the Shot Show is very glitz and glam, has over 50,000 attendees, and is where my company needs to put our best foot forward on how we look.

Anyway, the show is being held in Orlando, Florida this year. Normally we are supposed to adjust the look of everything for the show to fit the city that it's being held in, but I just couldn't get into the Orlando vibe. Obviously, the biggest thing Orlando has going for it is Disney, and I am not even going to try to go there. So I decided to bank on the show being in Florida instead of city specific, but to be honest, my theme is pretty Miami.

Our t-shirt give away has an awesome vector graphic of Tony Montana from Scarface on it (you can see that one on my Flickr account if you haven't already). For the show special book, again, I wanted to get away from my dark and textured comfort zone and make something obnoxiously bright. Here is the outside cover that I came up with... the inside pages, though featuring all the products, has some really great Miami Vice scenes in it :)
