These are a few of our favorite things: vintage postcards, organic beer, cat videos, and designing posters for cool clients. Not necessarily in that order. Actually, cat videos are #1.
Archival is helping bring back that vintage American tagline: Made in USA. They sell apparel sourced primarily from US-based manufacturers. Much of the design for Archival was Made in Dotzero – including logo, labels, tags, and other promo materials. Look for the “Genuine Dotzero Product” label!
Vacation To-Do List Item #1: go to Popina Swimwear in Portland, Oregon and get a new swimsuit you feel realllly comfortable in – one that fits your bod and your personality. Popina has plenty to choose from (plus beer on tap if you get worn out)! We’re not travel experts or anything but we know the way to a great vacation – and it goes right through Popina.
Broadcasting live, from Portland, Oregon, it’s the Live Wire Radio Show! (APPLAUSE…) Starring – many funny, talented performers plus an entertaining logo and promo materials designed by Dotzero. (APPLAUSE…) Well, that’s our show! Thanks for coming and please drive safely going home.
If not the best music venue in Portland, it’s one of them. We design posters, menus and other items for Mississippi. The bands that play there have some of our favorite names ever, such as: Los Colognes, The Octopus Project, and… Formica Man! Yeowww!
A logo is like a tattoo. It’s a mark you should love and be proud to show off – not just on the inside of your ankle, but out front where everyone can see it. On your letterhead and your forehead. We would be SO stoked!
To motivate readers to buy a book, you gotta have a killer cover (and not just for mysteries). Half the battle is drawing attention and getting people to click on a link or pick up your book. Good design has the power to make people read and act. We control eyeballs. Literally.
Every year we say, “Why let clients have all the fun – let’s design and produce a promo piece for ourselves.” Then we spend waaay too many hours on it and curse ourselves for being a demanding and unreasonable client! We’re the worst client ever! But, boy do we have fun.
Can a product package have personality, charm and wit? You’re darn tootin’! People like to buy products that have unique character and packaging. The same ‘ol boring stuff won’t cut it today (even for a product like scissors). Run to us if you need creative packaging – but DON’T RUN WITH SCISSORS! Hi, mom!
Every summer in Portland, thousands of intrepid voyagers plop their butts in inner-tubes and sail down the Willamette River. It’s a grand flotilla of wacky river revelers. We revel with them and also design the TBF posters, ads, banners, signage, and t-shirts. Get into your river! Viva la Riverlution!
