Reflections from the 2010 ADCD Annual Show

We had a great time at the Art Directors Club of Denver Annual Show last week. The MC (Naughty Pierre from Lannie's Clock Tower Cabaret) was hilarious, the trophies were beautiful, the crowd was great and the work was inspiring. We were honored to be presented with the bronze medal in Print Excellence for a book we collaborated on with our good friend Keith Harley from Communication Arts, Inc.
While we are very proud of the recognition we received for our work with Comm Arts, there is one aspect of this year's show that we are even more pleased about. D&K printed more of the award winning pieces in this year's show than any other printer. The award winning pieces include Comm Arts' Vail Valley Medical Center Yearly Community Report, Motive's Native Eyewear Catalog and Vermilion's Pilatus Vantage Point Brochure.
That has me thinking about what D&K means to our clients and what we want our role to be in the Colorado marketplace.
Over the past 45 years, while newer technologies and machinery have focused on making printing quicker and cheaper, D&K has only invested in that which can do so without sacrificing an iota of our most valued principle: quality.
This commitment has earned us a reputation in our industry and we believe that the facts speak for themselves. In 2010, when artists looked for a printer to team up with for their high-end projects (soon to be ADCD award winning work), more people chose D&K than any other printer.

We want to thank everyone for putting their trust and faith in D&K. We understand how much you invest in your projects and we don't take lightly the responsibility that we take on as your chosen printer.

I Need A Wintervention

Every year around this time, I start getting that inch...no not VD. Ski season is just around the corner. Time to renew my ski pass, hit up Sniagrab and start buddying up to my friend's with places in the mountains.
But now the true sign that ski season is upon us: Warren Miller Entertainment has released the movie trailer for their 61st installment. We at D&K have been fortunate to print for Warren Miller for the past several years and around our shop Warren Miller season is in full swing.
We can't wait to see the new flick "Wintervention" when it hits town...

Printing Eldora Mountain Resort's 2010-2011 Season Ski Maps

Eldora holds a special place in the heart of any true Boulderite. Its the place we learned to ski and still frequent. We are proud to print this season's trail maps.

D&K in the ADCD Annual Show

We just received word that D&K placed in the category of Print Excellence in the Art Directors Club of Denver Annual Show! We will find out what place we got at the show in September.

 We produced the piece with Communication Arts in Boulder for their client The Vail Valley Medical Center.

UPDATE: Our friends at Vermilion Design just informed us that we won an award for this piece we did with them for Pilatus Aircrafts, as well

R.I.P to D&K's delivery truck

The wind in Boulder this weekend took out one of the large Cottonwood trees that line the creek behind our shop.
Our delivery truck took the brunt of the fall...

The view before the tree removal company got to work on Monday.

The view from inside the cab.

The tree is so large that it almost reached our delivery car, 

which was parked on the side of the building.

It was tall enough to fall across both of our shipping docks 

and cause damage to the roof.

While we're saddened to lose our great delivery truck, we are very happy that the tree chose to come down when no one was near by.

 The dock area is a popular spot during break time and for shipments/deliveries throughout the day.
