Hello, My name is Dan Hood and I am an advertising photographer in the Northern California area. I shoot a lot of fashion, product, interiors/exteriors, and lifestyle work. I shoot hi-rez digital and in addition to having a fully equipped studio I am fully geared up to shoot on location (really like location shots) and I can turn any area into a studio like setting if need be. I work with and shoot for several modeling agencies in San Francisco. I also have access to the largest database of freelance models on the net if you would prefer to not go the agency route. I am very good at casting models for whatever project you have. I have a full fashion team including makeup/hair and wardrobe stylist on call. I can also work as creative part of someone else’s team.

Happy Holidays from ADAC!

jrosebud — Wed, 16 Dec 2009 21:28:54 +0000

Happy Holidays and thank you for being a part of ADAC!

For those of you who made it to our event, By Hand & by Cam, with David Danz and Jayson Carpenter we thank you and hope it was a great experience. We are honored to have such excellent speakers who share their work, experience and stories. It was really incredible.

Another great effort ADAC took part in was the Holiday event Splendor of the Trees which benefitted The Gathering Inn charity for the homeless. ADAC built a beautiful art sculpture that lit up like a holiday tree and donated it to the Gathering Inn’s silent auction gala. The tree is currently being appreciated at a local school. The entire event earned over $50,000 to benefit the homeless.

Thanks again for a great start to the season to all our volunteers. Looking forward to 2010!

Former president Steve Mehallo has a new blog

jrosebud — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 18:50:16 +0000

If you’ve been missing ADAC’s old online Etc. newsletter, former club president Steve Mehallo is keeping the energy going with a new blog.

Mehallo had been involved with ADAC’s monthly newsletter for several years — compiling the Initial Caps column, writing prickly commentary and corralling as much art + design content as possible. He also used to post (mostly) daily design links on ADAC’s old home page.

Drop by http://mehallo.com/blog to see what he’s been up to.

The UC Davis Design Museum Presents:

TYPOGRAPHIC EXPLORATION IN HANGUL

An exhibition of work by Hyunju Lee and Phil Choo

On view at the UC Davis Design Museum

October 4 – December 6, 2009

Guided tour with the designer and the curator

Sunday, October 4, 2009 at 1 p.m. at the Design Museum, 145 Walker Hall, UC Davis

–

This exhibition presents typographic explorations in Hungul by two Korean Designers, Hyunju Lee and Phil Choo, and is curated by UC Davis Design Professor Mihyun Kang.

The designer’s typographic roots began with Hangul, the native script of Korea that was created in the mid-fifteenth century. The two-dimensional works introduce the form, pattern and emotion of Hangul typography as an expressive medium. The exploration and manipulation of Hangul characters offers a contemporary glimpse into Korean life and culture.

Hyunju Lee and Phil Choo were born and raised in Korea and then went on to pursue their graduate education in very different cultures. Lee studied visual communication in Japan receiving her MFA from Tama Art University in Japan and her PhD from Tokyo National University of Music & Fine Arts. She is currently an Associate Professor of Human Environment and Design at Yonsei University in Korea. Choo earned his MFA in graphic design from Iowa State University and is an Assistant Professor of Graphic Design at Oklahoma State University.
