Baker Furniture Sale Graphics

Here’s the main banner image for an email announcement we created for the Baker Fall Sale at JD Madison. And yes, Fall is almost here!

DBD+A Site Wins Smackdown!

OK, we actually won the Showcase Showdown–the inaugural site design contest from Woo Themes, not an actual smackdown. But our site did receive 80% of the total votes! Just think what we could do for your website’s design… Really, think about it. Here’s what some of the responder’s had to say about our site’s design:

“I’m going to have to go with DBDA. It’s simple, clean, and current.”

“DBDA, hands-down winner.”

“DBDA for me. It’s fresh. The copy and images stand out (especially the dog) and really grab your attention. The white background keeps it crisp. You’ve only got a short amount of time to grab and keep people’s interest and DBDA got through to me asap.”

“DBDA Studio is my choice! Awesome!”

“Definitely DBDA. Looks superb. Any chance of sharing how DBDA did the animation?”

“I like it a lot because it’s clean and minimal. Especially for the type of business that they are promoting. Our firm does the same type work and I have definitely learned a few things from a quick visit to their site.”

DBDA in Showcase Showdown!

After we designed our new website using one of Woo Themes’ superb and sublime WordPress themes, we submitted our URL to their customized theme showcase. Now, we’re happy to report that our site is part of Woo Themes’ very first Showcase Showdown! Check out the contest, and don’t forget to vote!

New Wave Dave

We created this poster, blog and large banner as part of a campaign to promote our kids’ school fund raising auction. The theme is “80s party” in case you couldn’t tell, so we broke out the “Rock of the Eighties” on our iTunes and checked our collection of buttons, badges and photos for inspiration.

Invite Color Into Your Mailbox

This is an oversized direct mail postcard for Madison Millinger’s month long Gabbeh Rug promotion. Gabbeh rugs are one-of-a-kind colorful artistic statements made by each individual weaver. The theme of the promotion was “Invite Color Into Your Home.”

Focus the Nation Identity

Focus the Nation is a non-profit organization that is dedicated to providing opportunities for community education on clean energy, sustained engagement with elected officials, networking youth initiatives, and developing clean energy leaders. Their branding needed to be inspirational, serious (yet spirited) and focused on governmental participation and clean energy. A lot to pack into a single image, but we think we succeeded.

The Holiday Big Reveal

DBD+A put together this extensive marketing campaign for the Pearl District’s Holiday Big Reveal window display event. The marketing pieces included posters, window decals, handout cards, magazine and newspaper ads, and even streetcar panels.

Direct Mail Gets Exotic

Here’s a direct mail piece we created for Madison Millinger Extraordinary Rugs here in Portland. The card is for their Annual Sale and has a decidedly exotic flavor. Look for it in your mailbox this week, or sign-up for their mailing list now to receive future announcements.

We designed this poster and passport card for the Pearl District Business Association’s $15K Home Furnishings Giveaway contest. Participants had to get their card stamped by the listed furnishing stores in order to enter for a chance to win a huge home furnishings package.
