Kosoko Performance Group

through my internship (which is going great by the way!), a handful of other interns and myself have teamed up with one of the fellows here at the Kennedy Center to help build and promote his performance group. Kosoko Performance Group was founded in 2006 and is a philadelphia-based, interdisciplinary performance group that is set up as an ensemble of dancers, actors, writers, visual artists, etc. i am heading up the graphics for this endeavor and thought i would share with you some of the process. currently, i am working on the re-branding and this is what i've come up with.



i have basically taken the previous logo which was a photograph and used the shape of the figure to create the silhouetted figures in the photo above. my goal is to finalize these soon and get to work on laying out a press kit for KPG in the next couple of weeks. leave comments here and elt me know what you think! i will also be designing banners and buttons and graphics for the organizations web-site, and consulting on some content for strategic and artistic planning.

anyways, i also have a few weddings coming up and hopefully a few headshot sessions, so be on the lookout for those. also, i updated my web-site a little bit with a new bio and a new gallery for my graphic design portfolio (make sure to check it out to see some of the other work i am doing through my internship). and feel free to leave comments!

man, i love being busy!

Headshots : Barrett Johnson

here are those headshots i've been talking about. i picked a few of my favorites to share with you all. Barrett and i have been friends for a few years and it was about time to get some photos of her into my portfolio. they came out quite excellent, but it's easy to get great photos when you have a great subject. have a look...



hope you like them!

Blackleaf Update

a couple of months ago i posted a finished photograph i did for a new product which is launching called "Blackleaf Vodka", but i didn't really think much of it because it was an assignment for school. i randomly decided to check the web-site last night and was very excited to see my image! they have the site separated into different tabs, and mine is under the "Signature Drinks" tab.

if you remember from my post (or check my web-site!!! www.scottybeland.com), you already know that i shot the pomegranate concoction which they call the "Blackleaf Pomtini". the red one! it's really neat to see my work used to advertise an actual product rather than self-inspired shoots for school. welcome to the real world! it was certainly a pleasant welcome!

i don't believe that the product has launched yet, but it should be coming soon! everyone (everyone who is legal, that is...) should go buy a bottle when it launches. for more information on Blackleaf Vodka you can go to their web-site at www.blackleafvodka.com.

thanks for stopping in! there are headshots coming! i said that last time i know, but they are coming!
