SWAHOOGIE CD PROMOTION

Hello there. Stutterdot Design has just completed cd artwork for White Plains based band Swahoogie. Tom Krouskoff, the writer for the band, contacted me through musician friend Frank Enea, owner of Satellite Sound Studio in Mt Kisco NY, in need of a design using his already created mascot/logo... that would be the rock 'n' roll pooch.

The cd title, 'Let's Keep Rollin'' brought some imagery to mind so I stepped forward with a somewhat retro-psychidelic styled typography using bright colors on black. It just made sense for some reason. The client dug the direction although the first font was not a fav. No problem, I says, as it really didn't seem to fit. So 400 or so typefaces later I found something close to what I was looking for. It just needed a bit of tweaking and there it was.

Anyway - enough about the design. You have to check out the music from Swahoogie. Satellite Sound gave Tom's songwriting the professional edge it deserves.

Happy Nu Yeer

Happy Nu Yeer to all. I'm thinking you may have noticed this unique spelling of 'New Year' in the title of this post. Well here's a little back story. This was developed during the 2001/02 changing of the years. It was a stressful time after the 911 attack and I figured that there had to be a re-thinking, or re-structuring of how we think or thought out to do things. This 'Nu Yeer' spelling represented that we can do things differently and move forward to the future our kids will have and create for themselves and their families.

(remove soapbox here) Aaaaahhhhhh.

I had also designed a logo* to be put on tee shirts that could be sold in New York will all money going to aid the families that lost so much during 911. I spoke with some committees (apologize but I cannot remember who and I have no emails saved to support me - please take my word for it) to try and make this happen, but it didn't.

* Logo pictured here was before the nu spelling took place.
