Bud or Bud Light: Designing a Brand

I will be doing a presentation at the Cannabis Creative Conference this Wednesday. It is an interesting time for this industry in Oregon with the maturation of medical and the birth of recreational categories. There are many challenges and opportunities ahead. I will discuss design, brand building, marketing, and communications best practices; what’s working and what isn’t in the Oregon cannabis category.

There’s a fun and engaging lecture happening tomorrow evening at the OMSI Planetarium, by a good friend of mine, Jeff Faulkner.

The lecture is part of the Design Speaks series produced by 52 Limited. I should mention that tickets are sold out, but you can add your name to a wait list.

Jeff is currently a creative director working on inventing the future up at Microsoft in Seattle. A couple of months ago he asked me if I would create a poster for his talk in Portland.

As some of you may know, I have been recovering from a bike accident for the past six months or so. I have been doing some small projects—a collaboration with my Plazm partner Niko on my brother’s new play, Volpone, in NYC, and some other personal work. I have recently been approved by my doctors for up to ten hours per week of work. It’s gradual, but it is definitely progress. So I am pleased. I am also pleased about the result of this poster project for Jeff. I just got handed one of the silkscreened 18 x 24 four-color posters, and they really turned out great. If you are attending the event, you will receive one. I thought I would share the art here as well.
