Cherry Creek North Local Flavor Guide

About the Neighborhood

This project is part of the Local Flavor Guide series produced by the Mile High Business Alliance. The Cherry Creek North shopping district is southeast of downtown Denver, along Speer Blvd/1st Ave/Alameda Ave and the Cherry Creek trail. Cherry Creek is one of Denver’s most elite shopping districts and can also boast a strong saturation of locally owned businesses. 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.
