South Broadway (SoBo) Local Flavor Guide – 2nd Edition

View of the inside of the South Broadway (SoBo) Local Flavor Guide - 2nd Edition

About the Neighborhood

This project is part of the Local Flavor Guide series produced by the Mile High Business Alliance. SoBo is short for South Broadway, which is also a bit of a misnomer as half of the shopping district is North Broadway. SoBo is home to some great dirty bars, live music, sex shops, head shops, and some kitchy boutiques. The Mayan Theatre (arguably the best indie film spot in Denver) marks the main intersection of the neighborhood at 1st & Broadway. The art direction for this guide, as always is to give a good feel of the neighborhood.

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. Scroll through the images above to see the finished guide and the photos I took for it.
