details, it’s always the details

never too many medical appsCurrently in the process of mulling a very large healthcare push full spectrum to medical professionals about a series of conditions and how to train to treat them. It’s potentially something very full spectrum for deployment, in both print, poster, traditional ad channels, various web channels, interactive to smart devices.

Fairly simple.

A concern I have isn’t how to make this easy for medical professionals to understand now that I’m in their heads, it’s that all the facts really are in order and make sense. I’m working with some really top-notch, working professionals in the healthcare industry who know all the really long Latin-based words necessarily for proper diagnosis and the “if” and “then” of dosing, etc. but can’t help but worry if one in a thousand words is in the wrong place. Probably will insist on a dozen or more people going through every piece of the campaign. In these cases, better to be safer than sorry.

oh the things I do for my job as an art director

there's sadly more clients like this than notFrom the excellent theoatmeal.com, a tale of How a Web Design Goes Straight to Hell. What designer HASN’T had a client like this?

If I’ve said it once I’ve said it a million times, you hire a designer for their skill and expertise, we don’t tell you how to do your job, please don’t tell us how to do ours.

Decisions Decisions. I’ve got a couple projects this would be killer for, so despite knowing this may add a learning curve to some participants I may let the chips fly where they may. It is a beta after all, and knowing from being in the software industry, you want some beta testers to be technologically unpracticed.

You can’t show off your work due to NDA.

So because of this, I’ll show something different. A contrast, because that’s sorta what’s in my current hopper creative-wise.

A friend of mine asked me to art direct his album cover, I’m also a fan, so I obliged.

Out in the country, thought about shooting stars, but shot cars. Always loved the color saturation of the children’s book “Goodnight Moon,” nice to capture it in pictures.
