Rob Larsen Photography

Rob Larsen Photography (RLP) came to 814 Inc in need of a logo that would visually represent the style of work that they produce. RLP primarily focuses on architecture and real estate photography. The goal was to create a logo with lots of linear angles and negative space.

Rice Scion Pulse Event

Rice Scion in North Carolina was looking for a promotional flyer that they could distribute in the area of the dealership. They wanted to promote a new upcoming event called "Pulse," which will be the title throughout their upcoming events. Rice Scion contacted 814 Inc to create this marketing piece.

There audience was a younger hip crowd that is into custom cars, music and technology. The design goal was to create a rave like party image that would attract the eye of the audience.

In Production!

I am in the process of revamping the 814 Inc website and blogging platform. The new site will include samples from all of the current projects (listed below) along with a blogging platform that will be integrated directly into the site.

I will be launching a few new features as well, facebook and twitter. If you are a follower of the b2c Savings Program you know how these will all be integrated.

My goal for the new site is to focus on the work that is being produced. I have been fortunate to work with some amazing clients, producing some really exciting work. My passion is the work and being able to successfully deliver work that takes care of the client's need/s.

I will announce once the new site is completed and ready to be viewed by the public. Currently my goal is September 1st.

814 Inc Project Update

You may have noticed that we have fallen behind on our "client of the month" posts.  This could mean two things ... one, there is no client to post or two, we have been juggling quite a few projects and have just gotten a tad behind. Well we are fortunate to say that we are just a tad behind do to multiple projects.  Here are a few of the projects we have been working on.

• 8 page 9x12 marketing brochure for RE/MAX Alliance - Louisville: RE/MAX wanted to develop a marketing piece that they could send to the top H.R. Directors at ConocoPhillips to market the city of Louisville and the surrounding area. For those that don't know, ConocoPhillips will be making the old Storage Tech area their new home.

The piece turned out great and we will post it sooner than later.

• Re-design for the Department of Aerospace at Colorado University - The Aerospace Department was looking for a website that was more appealing to incoming freshman and graduate students.  This has been a great project and we anticipate launching this month.

• b2c Savings Program - This is a "in-house" project and has been in development for the past 6 months.  We are finally on the last leg of completing phase 1.0.  The program is an online based marketing program that gives consumers the opportunity to receive monthly promotions from b2c Business Partners.

• Wheat Ridge Fire Department - The Wheat Ridge Fire Department was in need of a way to market to the community for volunteers.  Together we developed a marketing brochure. promotional pens and a custom folder that they could use as a direct mail pack, or on site.

Again we hope to post these projects sooner than later.
