I had a perhaps frightening realization that I hit some tipping point for social media where the Flock browser suddenly makes sense as a management tool. So please note to right, the spectrum of ways to connect with me in the aptly named “Connect” list. You’ll find your standard group of Twitters and Flickrs and LinkedIns as well the Museum 3.0 Ning network. Join me in the, um, conversation.
Great Q&A of a client (I didn’t do it, but you should still read it)
Published 2008 August 10 client news , inspiration , portfolio 0 CommentsMatt Smith, one of my first clients in the Washington, DC area, who helped me through a rough transition out here. Got a nice little Q&A in the Wash Biz Journal. He’s a got strong creative vision while being an all around great guy. The new chalkboard-covered walls sound amazing — like working inside a sketchbook. Congratulations to Matt and everyone at SmithGifford for their continued success. (You’ll even find one of the 30s spots that I edited for them up at their website. Hint: It’s the United Way “Thanks” spot.)

One of the big problems for the Florida Market District is what Kevin Lynch called legibility. People need an introduction in order to understand what appears to be a chaotic place, a place that was described by a tour goer once as “the anti-Whole Foods.”
Images of the front and back (also at Richard’s site), below the jump.

My name is Christopher and this is None.
Thanks for dropping by my new portfolio site format. As such, things are quite complete. You can find my design, video and writing at the old site. But it’s old school and fussy. (Egad, are those frames?!) Over the next month, my work, design ideas and project updates will migrate to here with connections to Flickr and YouTube.
You’ve been warned.
