One of my employees Eric transformed his house for Halloween toDisney Princes theme. c-r-a-z-y amount of work.

Many folks have asked about our Halloween house from this year.  Here are some photos.  This year, we created Sleeping Beauty's castle (and expanded the theme to include Sleeping Beauty's other princess friends), complete with fire breathing dragon, Cinderella's Carriage, and costumed characters.  Grace went as Aurora (Sleeping Beauty), Michelle was Maleficent and I went as Prince Philip.  We transformed our porch into a castle interior featuring princess treasures (glass slipper, spinning wheel, (working) magic mirror, Aladdin's lamp, Ariel's shell and a poison apple).  We had about 700 trick-or-treaters in addition to lots of adults and other fun friends.  I have attached some photos.

Rare look at the design process of a mammoth tattoo book project a Duartian is in and developed

hand stenciled packing (1500 of them)


hand cutting the stencils

large giclee prints for the gallery (we bought a printer just for this project)


cleaning the foil finishing, and silk hand binding (covers are made with velvet and suede)


concept sketches for the packaging


concept sketches for the digital imaging print work


mock up of the page format and how we want it to be finished...each piece folds out into architectural book format thirds.


Max photographing the details for the book

Test prints comparing to other colors, an organic process we went through...


Eric, senior designer from Palm, working with us on layout and color systems.


the books arriving back in America!


front of the building with projection

early on the crowd started to build

me with the book, and all the exhibit prints

My team did a fun game of creating random album covers. You can try too.

Nichole Nye on our team sent out this e-mail to all Duartians today. They had a ton of fun. The results are pretty funny.

Hey guys,

  Those of you that were at Duarte Power Hour today will remember me talking about this, and I’m sure a bunch of you have most likely done this before, but a few of us thought it would be fun to send out here at Duarte! You follow the instructions below and make an album cover for yourself! It’s a cool little creative exercise a bunch of you might get a nice kick out of J
 
Cheers!

  HOW TO PLAY:

1 - Go to "wikipedia." Hit “random... Read More... Read More”
or click http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
The first random wikipedia article you get is the name of your band.

2 - Go to "Random quotations"
or click http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
The last four or five words of the very last quote of the page is the title of your first album.

3 - Go to flickr and click on “explore the last seven days”
or click http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days
Third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.

4 - Use Photoshop or similar to put it all together. (you can use PPT and export it as a JPG and that works too)

Like I said, you're unusually lucky with these. That said, I'd still probably buy this.
