4ever20 the store

So in the front of 4ever20 there is a store. As you know I get most of my graphic design practice making all the flyers, magazine ads, and business cards for them. In the beginning the front of the store was pretty cool but nothing was getting sold. They decided to get some more things in that people would want to buy and I have to say that things are coming along great. I made another flyer for them but just to promote the front of the store.



This is the front of the flyer. I went to the store and I took some pictures and this creation is from the wall that is painted inside the store. I dont know what those things are but I like to guess worms or bugs of some sort. Obviously smoking and the smoke says 4ever20. I thought it's be cool to put on the front. I like this picture on the flyer becuase it looks it could have been drawn on or for the flyer specifically and not a painting on the wall. My wonderful photo skills. The front picture is the front of the store so customers know what to look or when driving. Inside the store there is lettering across the top that says SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL ARTIST. There are some paintings hung around the store for sale that friends have made. There are also shirts designed by Artist EVAN YORK. Some of the pieces for sale are also made by a friend Michelle [from Lehr & Black] and are available at her online store SHOP LOVE ME. 4ever20 likes to promote upcoming artists/friends in the area.



This is the back of the Flyer. The three pictures of pictures of some of the items being sold in the store. There is some really cute stuff in there so if you live in the area you should visit. You do not have to be a patient of the dispensery to come and shop in the front of the store which is the cool part.

I just noticed the front of the flyer has the address wrong. Luckily this has not been printed and sent out yet so I have time to fix it.

Correct address:
15149 Ventura Blvd, Sherman Oaks CA

Kush La Ad

Here is an example of a magazine ad I made for my teh store 4ever20 that will be in the September edition of KUSH LA magazine. It is a medical marijuana dispensary in Sherman Oaks. Where my graphic design skills come to life. I didn't know too much about graphic design before the store opened. I started learning stuff on photoshop shortly before they opened and was since then disgnated artist for the store as far as ads and stuff go. I mean it's free for them [for now] so of course they'd use me. And I get to start creating a portfolio with my work. Let me just say, it is so rewarding to see something I made into flyers that are being passed out, or IN A MAGAZINE [[even if the magazine is only seen by pot lovers]]. They even used something I made as a sticker for the store window and the sign hanging above the shop. It's really neat. Since then I have been asked by my friend to make flyers for the company she works for and my friend has bragged about me to others to make their ads for magazines. Hopefully I'll get to start making money off of all of this soon which is obviously my goal. Gotta learn a lot more so I can get faster at it now. Man the computer needs to start paying me for all the attention I give it. :)
