Sealed With A Kiss Promos

JP Valdes — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 08:00:01 +0000

Recently, I’ve been fortunate enough to get commissioned to create some posters for a few events for Sealed With A Kiss. They throw some pretty sweet events in Vancouver from dj’s to indie bands. Here’s 2 of the posters I made for them.

Modern – Dance Club Rebranded (Again)

JP Valdes — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 19:42:11 +0000

I guess the spacey stuff got played out real quick so we changed up the looks once again and this time went for a more minimalist hipsterriffic look. This is what I came up with.

Modern – Dance Club Rebranded

JP Valdes — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 20:07:43 +0000

One of the clubs that DHM owns has recently gone through a rebranding to make it less ‘upscale chi chi’ and more ‘let’s get trashed and party’, if that makes any sense. Anyway, this is what I came up with after hearing what direction the marketing team wanted to go in. That disco ball had the Death Star on it originally, but got nixed. LOLZ.

Album Art – No No Spots

I recently was commissioned to do some album art for a rad local Vancouver band called No No Spots. Here’s what I came up with. Not sure when it drops though. I’m pretty proud of my text treatment.

Psych Ward October 2008

This is by far my favorite poster I have done to date. If I had more time to work on it, I would have made the blood more realistic.

NYE December 2008

Here’s all the stuff I did for 2008-2009 New Years Eve Parties.

DHM – Tittsworth

JP Valdes — Sat, 01 Nov 2008 07:00:06 +0000

I did this one at the height of Kanye “Stronger” Glasses’ popularity, which was about a 3 week window sometime in late 2007. I thought I was so clever when I made this poster.

I also once had a pair of those glasses. I ordered them from shuttershades.com and this was before the fire really caught on. I wore them to the club once and they got destroyed because too many bitches kept trying to take them off my head.

Notice the friend running interference to distract me (in the black hat) while the chick gets her picture taken with the glasses on. Dude on the left is like “YEA BOIIIIIII!!!”

DHM – Jokers of the Scene

JP Valdes — Fri, 31 Oct 2008 07:00:19 +0000

This was a poster I created when I was still new at DHM. I enjoy the somewhat “3D” effect with the text, as well as the colors. It’s pretty hipsterrific.

DHM – Fast Life Thursdays

Fastlife Thursdays at Rebublic. Definitely one of the best nights to catch in Vancouver on a Thursdays. The patio is regularly nuts until 3 am.

Working with text only creatives is a bit tough because there’s no imagery to carry the creative, so it forces you to step up your typography game a bit. I hope I managed to convey that with these posters. Version 1 on the left and 2 on the right.

DHM – Ode to Facebook

My ode to (the old) Facebook. It was a Valentine’s Day party starring Expendable Youth.
