The June issue of Seattle Met hits stands this week.
In case you can’t read that headline, it says Trails:
There’s some nice stuff in the issue:
The iPhone photo I snapped of a guy changing the Lusty Lady marquee made it into the Mudroom:
This month we debut a new look for Style Counsel, swapping out the all-white backgrounds of the past with a wooden floor and the shadow of the subject cast against the wall. I love the look of it:
We shot this months’ Quote Unquote at Nemo’s. I took a couple iPhone photos of the setup:
That’s writer Matt Halverson posing as an employee sweeping up, waiting for the drum solo to end. And that’s my watch he’s wearing.
We just received some SPJ awards for our work in 2009. My designer Melissa Robinson and I got a first place award for the design of the Adult Ed feature:
In that same category, I get a second place award for my design of the Meltdown Survival Handbook:
And Melissa took third place in that category with another design. I got a first place award for the opening spread design of the Heist feature:
Heist
And in the same category I got a second place award for my 5 Days … spread design:
WTO
And Melissa got third place in that category, for a feature she designed before I joined the magazine. I also got second place for cover design:
Beaches
José Mandojana took first place for best portrait for his Paul Giamatti photo:
Paul Giamatti
And John Keatley got first place in feature photography for Atmospheric Disturbances:
Atmostpheric Disturbances
Atmospheric Disturbances
Atmospheric Disturbances
John also took first place in portfolio photography. And the editors did just as well — we got something like 35 awards in total. It was a great way to close out my first seven issues of the magazine.
Also in June: I’ll be going to Rhode Island for my first time for my first-ever magazine convention, the CRMAs. Should be exciting to meet others in the business.
