36-page, wire-bound book designed by Matchbox Studio combines photographs and personal notes
Photographer/Director Dick Patrick announces the completion of a new collection of work that focuses on New Orleans, his hometown. The piece is a 36-page, wire-bound book that combines recent photographs, personal notes, and Patrick’s childhood memories of the French Quarter to explore the essence of New Orleans.
The portfolio’s delicious images of food, light and architecture capture the soul of The Crescent City in a way that only a New Orleans native could. The book’s cover announces that, “When it’s good, it’s worth sharing. When it’s great, you must. New Orleans, my home, is a work of art.” So is this portfolio. Designed by The Matchbox Studio in Dallas, it’s a uniquely beautiful book that employs innovative printing techniques and a variety of unique papers to create a piece that is as enjoyable to touch as it is to see.
About Dick Patrick, photographer/director
Dick Patrick’s award-winning career in photography began before he could legally drive a car. He grew up in a household where photography was the family business and terms like aperture and depth of field were common vernacular.
As a native of New Orleans, Patrick’s love of Southern cooking and the unique spirit of his hometown were baked in. It was only a matter of time before these influences–food, photography, and the French Quarter–came together to create this evocative celebration of New Orleans and the food that helped make it famous. www.Dpatrick.com

Stephen Arnold Music Collaborates With WETA to Create a Memorable and Adaptable Sonic Brand
WETA Arts, the award-winning, magazine-style arts and culture series returns for its 10th season on the PBS flagship station with an elegant new sound. The latest collaboration between WETA, PBS’s Washington DC-based flagship station, and Stephen Arnold Music (SAM), the new music package reflects the show’s insightful take on DC’s diverse art scene in an understated and memorable way. “It’s a unique sound,” says WETA creative director Dylan Wilbur. “There’s a lovely calmness to it that perfectly complements the show’s new art deco visual look.

I thought, wow, that’s beautiful.” WETA Arts is also the first show to leverage WETA’s first ever sonic branding. Created by SAM, the world leader in sonic branding, last year, the classically inspired signature sound is designed to give WETA a unified, instantly recognizable audio identity across each of its sub-brands and all touch points, broadcast and digital. It can be heard in different stylistic and mood treatments in promos, IDs, teasers and other marketing media for WETA PBS, WETA UK, WETA PBS Kids, WETA World, WETA Metro, and WETA Classical. “The sonic branding evokes our values: trust, intelligence, quality and enrichment,” observes Wilbur. “WETA is different from commercial broadcasters in that many of our viewers are also supporters. We wanted to convey the pride of ownership they feel for the station.” WETA’s sonic branding is also integrated into Signal in the Static, a longform spot celebrating the station’s historic leadership in news, documentary and educational programming. Airing in prime time through the fall political season, the spot features clips from... Read More
