Ready! American Star Ball

We are all setup and ready to begin the 2013 American Star Ball. We have the booth, the lights, and all the computers ready to cover some dancing this weekend. Should be fun! Stay tuned for updates. The photos will be posted to the proofing site about a week after the event:

As can be seen in these preview photos from my phone, there is a departure from the decor! Surely this will change the look of the photos. Please come back to see some of the results soon.

UPDATE! Now the photos from this event are now ready to view at the proofing site. I have received feedback from dancers that they happen upon different posts from an event. So, I want to ensure that everyone that sees a post knows when the photos are ready to view. If you have not already, you can see updates at our Facebook page or sign up for the email list to be notified directly when the photos are ready. With this in mind, I know that I have asked before, but let me know how you received updates from me. Is the blog still good or is there another method that you find works best? Thank you!

New Jersey Road Trip

Yes, this post is late, but we were traveling today! We made us road trip to Atlantic City, NJ to photograph another ballroom dance competition this weekend. Friday to Sunday will be the American Star Ball at the Golden Nugget. We are setting up now, and will be ready bright and early for the dancers. The ballroom is decked out in red and will look great in the photos. Check back here for updates!

Prior to getting to the event venue, I made some photos along the way. Of course, I needed some blog content, however, I also tested some of the new apps available for photo editing. Since the photos reside on the computer that they were created, it is easier to work on these on the phone. While on a short stop on the way there, I was able to test some of the options of Snapseed. While I can easily tell the difference, this can keep creativity going when your camera gear is packed away!

Graphic Design

I have received some emails about the Titles I made for the posters on yesterday’s post. This came from my imitation of the American Star Ball logos on their website which I really like. Now graphic design is not something I have worked with much, but I know enough to be dangerous, and I have an appreciation for great design.

The first part of making the image was to find similar fonts to the ones in the logo, then I had to reach way back into Google to find out how to make a star using the WingDings fonts. That may have been the hardest part of the whole process. After that, I made the text into a path, and filled it with a patriotic color palette fitting the text. I played with the gradients until I got something that really resembles the Stars and Stripes of the flag.
