Merry Christmas!

Peep!

Our illustration of Peep, 'designer bird,' graces our holiday card. This little finch charmed her way into our hearts (and studio!), in 2011.

2015 in Review

Websites

This year we launched several new websites for clients, most recently Ask a Performer (www.askaperformer.com), musician Jen Marotta's website and forum targeted to performing artists. This site personifies our clean, contemporary approach to design.

We also designed websites for RZ Tennis, The Racket Doctor, Inc. (L.A.'s largest tennis retail store), Tom Hooten, principal trumpet in the L.A. Philharmonic, and Bugle Memorial Honors. All can be viewed through links on our website (Projects section): www.emiliepallosdesign.com.

Print Projects

WIth more than 20 years' experience in corporate communications, we continue to design projects for print. Print is especially impactful for a high-end demographic. Early in 2015, we created the Annual Report for Glendale Adventist Medical Center. The photo-rich piece targeted to donors and medical professionals showcases achievements in various hospital departments. 

New branding for the 90th birthday celebration for Glendale's historic Alex Theatre features our illustration of the iconic neon spire. Don't miss the Alex90 street banners now flying on Brand Blvd. (photo below). For more on this project, please read the Case Study on our home page: www.emiliepallosdesign.com.

A Great Resource for Performing Artists

Classical musicians appreciate our classic sense of design.

It's always fun to collaborate with fellow artists. We enjoy listening to a lot of music — baroque and chamber music, opera, liturgical, new music, and big symphonic pieces. We understand the twists and turns of life as a performing artist, and enjoy working with creative people.

Jennifer Marotta

Jen is a talented professional musician and trumpet teacher in the L.A. area. She admired our website and print design work for L.A. Philharmonic principal trumpet Tom Hooten (tomhooten.com). In fact, she is married to Tom! We are privileged to work with this dynamic duo, L.A.'s classical music power couple.

Jen is a very giving person who enjoys helping others. She had an idea for a new Forum website which she would moderate, and asked us to help with the creation and launch of this new site. Ask a Performer (www.askaperformer.com) debuted in late November, 2015, and is geared toward those in the performing arts — instrumentalists, singers, dancers and actors. The site features true stories by artists who have "defied the odds." 

The Forum section is for posting questions and comments on popular topics common to performers. This section will grow as readers contribute helpful information. Jen is a savvy user of social media and has many contacts in the music world, and she is busy spreading the word about the new site to her friends and colleagues. We expect steady growth during the first year of this site.

Visual elements include stylish, modern artwork, complementary color scheme, clear, concise navigation, and easy-to-read pages. Photographer Vic Pallos shot the stunning new portraits of Jennifer at Walt Disney Concert Hall in downtown Los Angeles. The evolving city skyline adds a dramatic touch.

WordPress framework and Forum sections are in place; client Jennifer can add stories as needed and moderate the Forum easily. Our complete instructions make it straightforward for clients to edit WordPress sites once a design is established. This is a win-win for everyone.
