Dallas Society of Visual Communications Award Show: Our 15 minutes of fame

In June, the Dallas Society of Visual Communications (DSVC) will host the 2015 Dallas Show. Each year, agencies and individuals from all over the Southwest submit their best work to be considered by a panel of judges comprised of a handful of the best nationally-recognized creative minds. Categories cover everything from branding and ad campaigns to photography and package design. Judges select the entries that will make the cut for inclusion in the show, and then award medals to those pieces they deem as “stand out” work — hence this year’s theme, “Fifteen Minutes of Fame.” Of course, no one knows who will take home the hardware until the night of the event, but below are the Banowetz + Company accepted entries. Wish us luck and we’ll keep you posted.

New Talent. New Team Member: Senior Designer Ryan Bailey

The last few months at Banowetz + Company have brought about a lot of exciting changes. Most recently, Ryan Bailey has just joined our gang as a Senior Designer. 

Ryan has six years of experience working on everything from print to interactive — and he hasn’t wasted any time in gaining professional recognition in such esteemed publications as Communication Arts, Graphis, Print and CMYK Magazine, and in the Dallas Society of Visual Communications award show. He’s a graduate of the University of North Texas (yay, UNT!), where he was also a rock star, winning several awards for his student portfolio.

With a passion for learning and great design, Ryan is enthusiastic and eager. Although he’s already established himself as a talent to be reckoned with — having worked on high-profile accounts like Dell, HP, Domtar, Travelocity, Dallas Marathon, Klyde Warren Park, and Turtle Creek Chorale — he’s an easy-going team player with a humble, down-to-earth persona. Ryan touts himself as a family man, enjoying his time off with his wife and daughter, and as a science fiction buff who also enjoys music and photography. We’re very excited to have him on board, and it’s already apparent he’s a great addition to our team.

It’s exciting to once again have Banowetz logos showcased in the upcoming release of LogoLounge Book 9.
