RyeType, Inc. Design and Typography

Even though RyeType closed its doors at the end of 2018, it's nice to be able to create something for a client! I love the simplicity of this design and that it continues the theme of previous years. Thank you Sally Fox at Fox Legal in Decatur!

Though RyeType closed its doors effective December 31, 2018, we still enjoy doing volunteer work for organizations we support. The Atlanta Chinese Dance Company is one of those organizations.

Atlanta Chinese Dance Company performances are every 18 months and though many dance numbers are traditional or minority dances, over the last few years the company has been exploring issues that impact the current Chinese-American community at large.

This year, the company is exploring what it means to be Chinese in America and to be a Southerner as well, focusing on identity, belonging, and acceptance as Chinese individuals in the South. Ms. Kerry Lee describes the performance, "Intertwining Chinese dance, history, and culture with personal storytelling, "Ribbon Dance of Empowerment" tells a story of Chinese Americans in search of identity, belonging, and self-acceptance. When the dancers wield ribbons, they are empowered to command the majestic dragons within them.”

Performances of “Ribbon Dance of Empowerment, Chinese Dance through the Eyes of an American" are Saturday, October 19, 2019, at 7:30pm and Sunday, October 20, 2019, at 2:00pm. Tickets go on sale in mid-August and can be purchased through the Infinite Energy Theater box office at (770) 626-2464, or at 6400 Sugarloaf Parkway, Duluth, GA 30097. Reserved seating tickets are $24.00 for adults and $17.00 for students and adults over age 65.

ACDC is a non-profit company and has received grants from the Georgia Council for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Arts.

Atlanta’s movie industry offers some strange opportunities for my industry. One client provides movie props of all kinds for movie sets. Creating these images was a challenge: Photoshop does not allow you to scan/photograph/copy or otherwise alter real money.
Don't try to pass this off as the real stuff! It clearly states that this is for the movie industry, the signatures are fake, and the colors and graphics are wrong.

Time is drawing near for this spectacular event and so advertising materials are being designed and printed. Having seen a preview of the Atlanta Chinese Dance Company's March 31, 2018, performance I know it is one that promises to be moving and memorable. Tickets are currently on sale through Infinite Energy Theater and may likely sell out!

RyeType has been fortunate to have clients for almost the whole time we've been in business. It is absolutely the best thing to have clients return for more design work!
