Nashville Flood Relief: Design Pitches In

May 11th, 2010



The recent, catastrophic flood in Nashville and the surrounding areas was devastating, and recovery is a long-term effort. But, as we begin that process, the show of support for one another from within the community, and the spirit of this city have been nothing short of inspirational. People are giving of their time and talents, in many different forms, to raise both money and awareness for the relief efforts, as well as further strengthen the spirit that has unified us.


So, we thought it would be fitting to round up some of the efforts from the design community. Each of these items was created for the benefit of the relief effort and the community, with specific credits & details noted beside each, and a link to the respective sites for their purchase or download. Please support the charities noted either through purchase of these items, or by direct contribution.

A Season of Glory @ The Village Chapel

December 11th, 2009

This year’s Christmas season theme at long-standing client The Village Chapel centers around the word “Glory.” Utilizing a custom pattern, and centering on a type treatment that incorporates the pattern as part of it, deliverables include a bulletin, as well as re-facing the website for the season, as well as a 6′ wide display banner, all shown below, as well as on-screen elements. The season culminates in the church’s amazing annual Christmas concert, which is this Sunday, Dec. 13 (details at the above link, if you’re in the Nashville area and interested in attending).

The Postures of Faith

December 9th, 2009

For the past several years, longtime client The Village Chapel have developed a yearly theme, which ties in to the main visual elements of the church. This has always taken the form of a collaboration with the amazing artist Kim Thomas, who, in this case created sculptures as part of an installation which was on display at the front of the church throughout the year. Collide worked on the bulletin design, incorporating the sculptures via the photography of Allen Clark, playing out theme of “The Postures of Faith” in four parts. See below for the resulting designs, and the installation on display in the church. I could go on explaining, but I think these speak for themselves.

Great Moments in Rejected Design

November 12th, 2009

While working on the art direction & design for the Larry the Cable Guy project “Morning Constitutions”, there were many over-the-top toilet humor ideas flying around. The idea of “pooping in the woods next to a bear reading the newspaper” was entirely Larry’s idea, and at the photo shoot we played off of that idea in depth. But one of Larry’s ideas, was for a “Where’s Waldo” type of image, where he’s in the same sort of pose, but surrounded by creatures great and small, all… pooping. These presented a bit of a challenge, and wasn’t something we were able to do at the shoot, mainly for budgetary reasons (but also because we were shooting in Minneapolis in November, and for some reason dolphins, elephants, and koalas weren’t readily available for outdoor shoots). So, after an exhaustive stock photo search, we went through several rounds of revisions, on what was to be the inside spread of the packaging (there were other, more crudely illustrated versions than this one). Amazingly, this was almost approved, but at the very last minute, someone had second thoughts, and we ended up with a lovely photo of Larry on stage instead. But now, for the first time, here is the rejected design in all its glory. Enjoy.

Big Kenny “Share the Love” video

November 12th, 2009

While Collide was not involved in this video, I thought it’s worth sharing, because it features two good friends: musician Big Kenny, and actor Torry Martin. The video was put together as part of a student competition at Watkins College of Art.
