Jazzberry Blue’s Maps

January 17, 2017 by erin swinfard Leave a Comment

Art can be used as a form of language, and Jazzberry Blue does so by creating maps of the world. Not only does Jazzberry take maps to a whole different level, but his defying society by questioning what makes a map, well, a map. By taking the idea of a map and redefining it, Jazzberry is essentially creating a different language to identify geographical locations.

The map above so happens to be a map of the beautiful Baltimore. Jazzberry Blue uses a variety of colors to identify Baltimore’s land. The map below is also weird and wonderful Portland which has an ivory background. Not only has Jazzberry Blue created maps of American cities, but he has also prints of Mexico City, Paris, and many more!

Jazzberry Blue’s artwork is available for purchase on our sister website, Prints on Wood. Not only do we sell fine art wood prints, but we also make custom photo prints for anyone and everyone! For more information, check out www.printsonwood.com today.

UCR Coroplast Signs

December 29, 2016 by erin swinfard Leave a Comment

The fall quarter may be over for UCR’s students, but UCR never closes! UCR is one of our most loyal customers, and it’s rare not to have some of their work in our production floor. We’ve recently created some coroplast signs from directional to promotional signage. From leading students to the correct office, to the promos for the current lunch specials, UCR works hard to create visual signs that help students get through the campus.

Whether you know students at UCR or at a different university, it can get tough actually finding what you’re looking for because of the large population and of course the fact that every university is like it’s own town. Therefore, getting cheap and durable signage helps not only students, but important visitors as well who might be there for conferences or public events.

Not only are these large coroplast signs great for universities, but for business and business events too! By using coroplast signs, your business is receiving a form of advertising that will help draw your audience’s attention!

When it comes to living in So Cal, many of us like to think about the awesome ability to travel not only to Santa Monica beach or to Mountain High, but the endless supply of activities that we have. One weekend we can go surfing, and maybe next weekend snowboarding. Yup, So Cal has it all.

We recently teamed up with Timber Wave who provides awesome art that really represents So Cal’s waves. Founder, Clay Campbell, worked his passion for surf and art and is known for creating his surfboard wall clocks. These clocks are a great gift for any surfer and lover of art!

Together, we helped create these mini wood prints which captures beautiful images of waves, captured by none other than Campbell himself. Through his love for art and surf, these custom wood prints are a great representation of So Cal.

Ever wonder what your logo could use to build a stronger audience? Wework has a great imagination! Using custom wood prints, we were able to create some great wood signage for them! Wework’s mission is “To create a world where people work to make a life, not just a living.”

We work reached out to us to create a couple of custom wood prints, with their own designs. The designs contained both English and French signage, which is great for any business that wants to reach a certain background or if your business emphasizes the use of more than one language!

By applying your logo onto a print on wood, not only is it a creative way to get your business a larger audience, but you’re also working on creating an image of a rustic and eco-friendly business. Why? Because everything that we do to help create these awesome prints, are created with an eco-friendly production process, and that idea carries over to our customers through our work.
