Tennyson Street Local Flavor Guide

localflavor — Sun, 30 Oct 2011 22:15:19 +0000

About the Neighborhood

This project is part of the Local Flavor Guide series produced by the Mile High Business Alliance. The Tennyson Street shopping district is in the Berkeley neighborhood of Denver. It is considered to be in the Denver Highlands area.

Though the Berkeley neighborhood covers a lot of ground, the Tennyson Street shopping district only runs along Tennyson Street from about W 38th Ave to W 44th Ave. This neighborhood is notable because it was the home of the original location of Elitch Gardens when it was a community botanical garden and zoological exhibit. Elitch Gardens has relocated closer to downtown, but the canopy over the old carousel still remains.

The art direction for this guide, as always is to give a good feel of the neighborhood. You can download a pdf of the guide from MHBA’s site.

My Role in this Project

I designed the overall look for the guide series and each individual guide. The images used in each guide is a combination of photography that I shot, illustrations I drew, and some stock images. Click through the thumbnails above to see the finished guide and the photos I took for it.
