Hi everyone,
We just wanted to share a few of our favorite posters we worked on in 2009. These are all done in the style of the WPA National Park Posters, David Goines, and Jake Early and were all based on custom photography taken for the poster. If you or someone you know would like to commission a personalized poster to be created, contact us at info@codeninedesign.com.
Thanks and enjoy!
Code Nine Design helped produced this music video with Director Joe Batt (Rache Rd.). We developed story boards, video concept, and worked on the set during the shoot.

Grand Illusions from 2:00 – 6:00PM, Saturday, January 16th.
As the artists arrived at the Sacramento magic shop, a line had already formed and the interior of the store was becoming crowded – people from all walks of life were excited to meet the creative team behind the new graphic novel, Sinful. Not only were Funk and Houchin able to sign books and take photos with fans, but they also hosted a question and answer session with fans and an online forum with magicians all around the nation. “It was great to actually meet the people I worked so hard for,” said Funk , a founding member of the design firm Code Nine Design, in an interview after the event. “I feel like I got a great sense of who our target audience is and what they enjoyed most about the book.” Future collaboration between Code Nine Design and Houchin are already in the works – plans for DVD covers, promotional posters and more have all been discussed. We will keep you posted as more becomes
available.
Hi guys,
We’d like to announce the availability of three new Outlinedish tees from Code Nine Design. They will be available for purchase at Trucker in Chico, CA by the end of this week. Walk in and check them out, would ya?
Special thanks to Michelle Denz, Josh Burke, and of course Josh Funk for contributing artwork for this line of tees.
We’ve been looking into more avenues to reach new customers, designers, and creative people around the world, so we thought we’d post a little list of our findings in case you were looking for just such a thing. We’ve found all of these sites to be cool places to meet new clients and share ideas.
http://graphicdesignnetwork.ning.com/ – The Facebook for designers! Post blogs, portfolios and more. The coolest thing about this network is the people you’ll meet by joining. It’s free. Do it.
http://www.coroflot.com/ – Coroflot is a cool place to drum up new business. Post a portfolio as well as browse design job listings.
http://www.flickr.com/ – Flickr is here because not only is it a great place to host a portfolio, but it is also useful for porting content over to, say, a blog on WordPress. Many social sites can now link directly to Flickr which makes it important that you are plugged in.
http://www.behance.net/ – Great place to not only host (yet again) a portfolio, but also find collaborators.
http://www.designrelated.com/ – These guys have all the typical stuff like portfolios, blogs, and jobs, but they also have an “inspiration” section which helps pull us out of the ruts we get into sometimes. Worth checking out.
http://www.myspace.com/ and http://www.facebook.com/ – If you don’t know about these sites yet, you have a lot of catching up to do 
It may seem a little redundant to post, post and re-post portfolios to all these different sites, but the idea here is to be in front of as many people as possible, right? So spend the two or three hours it takes to create accounts, upload photos, and cruise around the sites a bit. Your creative process, as well as your client list, will benefit
