Calling all Chicago designers! Where are you?
Browsing daily through my usual inspirational design journals and showcases, I come across so many beautiful pieces of artwork. But every time that I look at where the person or company is located, I always seem to find somewhere …. far from me! Where are all the Chicago designers?
Well, I am making a call, a call out to all Chicago designers. Graphic design, illustration, web design & development, and anything else! We want to keep this post at a “never-ending” status level.
So what am I suppose to do? I live in Chicago, I am a designer!
Post a comment with your latest portfolio or project, we want to see it! We want to discuss it, we want to share it, you need to show it! We are making a call out to all Chicago designers. Who knows, if enough people participate, maybe we will start something larger from this experiment.

I don’t have most of my work available online, but one of these days I’ll update it (yeah, some designer I am huh). But for now, http://teamabunai.org is my website and I have some of my work at http://teamabunai.org/corey.

Chris, your site may be the first I’ve ever loaded in which music played and I was not immediately massively annoyed. By that is the power of the Lemon Jelly I suppose.
Awesome site Patrick–added to my daily list.

I work in Chicago as a graphic designer but my true love is the world below us, underwater. My images are from my home town of Seattle. I hope you will enjoy them as much as I did taking them.

Anyway, I’m also from Chicago and I do some freelance design part-time.

Patrick, I love the site. Thanks for providing this forum for Chicago designers. Here’s my freelance website:
http://www.studiostein.com
I’ll be adding several new website designs to the portfolio soon and taking down some old ones. I’ve also been working on a personal project in the form of a socially driven blog. I’d love to have other designers contribute their artwork to it. So if any of you are feelin’ saucy, here’s the link:

The Internet is too vast… it took until today for me to discover this site!
At the beginning of this year I left my design job at a university and started running my business full-time. Aside from design service, I do a lot of publishing, and am starting a music label which will launch in June. I also write for the design site MoCo Loco (www.mocoloco.com) every now and then, and am always looking out for Chicago designers to promote.
