Recently Completed

Two new projects recently completed at berkeley design that stood out from the norm.  

First, an edgy ad for a longtime client who wanted to push the envelope a little bit when it came to a trade ad for their vibratory processing machinery technology.



And second, a logo, CD cover graphics and brand identity for the rock band Unanimous

Just In Time



Just in time for the summer reading season, our fresh cover design for a  thriller about mysterious underground tunnels, secret coffee shop meetings, murder and a missing museum artifact.
     This is our first project to create the illustration for a novel. It's a good read and a welcome addition to the Berkeley Design portfolio.
     Thank you, Michele.

Also on the docket . . . a cover design for a novel and thriller . . . a publication gets delivered . . . a marketing brochure gets ready for printing . . . and a collector's interest in a limited edition Larry Torno Photo series, all make for a good start to another year of The Art of Creative Direction.

Say YES

Recently I designed a self-promotional mailer that fits into a square envelope. When folded, the text on the cover appears to say YES NO. Upon opening the top panel to the left, the real headline, YES TORNO, is revealed.
     If you'te looking for an Art Director who’s a creative thinker, an experienced graphic designer and a self-starter, then say “Yes” to Larry Torno.

Logo, Simplicity

When designing a logo for the competitive real estate market, it's best to meet with the client, understand their mission statement, and present clear ideas that achieve their communication goals.
     We started with a bold, easy-to-read typeface for the shortened name, added a stylized letter "S" for visual interest, and identified the company business with a professional look.
     Case solved.
