About the Neighborhood

This project is part of the Local Flavor Guide series produced by the Mile High Business Alliance. Uptown is a Denver neighborhood located just east of downtown and runs the length of 17th Avenue over to York Street. You can download a pdf of the guide from MHBA’s website.

My Role in this Project

I designed the overall look for the guide series and each individual guide. The art direction for this guide, as always is to give a good feel of the neighborhood. 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.
