As part of our Highland Park Centennial series, I went around to all the parks in Highland Park with fellow staffer Michelle Saunders on a mission to find what distinguished each park, and why each was named what it was. Check out the photo gallery if you’re interested in going on our tour and learning a little more.
Another NorthPark Now. 2013.
(Had some fun today making this graphic for the contest specified below. It’s always nice to flex some creative muscles.)
Answer the trivia question correctly, and you could win free registration to the Dash for the Beads 5K on Feb. 9 benefitting FIDO Oak Cliff.

We finally launched our People’s Choice awards section today. This was most definitely a joint labor of love with contributions made by the whole staff. Most definite props must go to my boss Rick Lopez, without whose creativity and focus we could not have finished this project. I just made the web stuff function.

In-the-process web decal to give to the winners of our People’s Choice Awards. We’ll see what the brass thinks.
Another NorthPark advertorial.
Yesterday I launched our new @WatchWithUs account on Twitter for our People Watching blogger Karley Osborn. The account was suspended because she followed too many people and mentioned them too quickly. The account is now back up and running. If you love style and the Dallas social scene, or if you just want a behind the scene look be sure to follow her. She’s witty, genuinely nice, and oh so fashionable. I wouldn’t endorse following her if I didn’t think she was cool. Anyway, that’s all for now. Above is the design I came up with for the Twitter page to riff off what we use for the paper version of her column and the online photo galleries.
Another Xmas related ad.
Here’s the calendar I mocked up for NorthPark Now, but ultimately nixed because the advertiser didn’t want it. I spent an hour on it and kind of like it, so I thought I’d share.
