In the meantime


Setting up a business here has been interesting.  I have one last hurdle before I can be official;  in the meantime am putting some time into InHouse Design.  Too bad I can't bill myself.  Or could I?  Above, the new logo with some artwork -- this will be on the business cards and letterhead; the text logo box will be used on its own for most branded projects if it goes on there at all.  In case you don't recognize the image, it's my office/design studio. Come over and see for yourself! My doors are alway open.

CD Release


InHouse Design is proud to announce the release of Zambian artiste Mathew Tembo's latest CD, Dadi Mwana.  While we'd love to take credit for the rockin' rasta grooves, InHouse Design was only responsible for the design of the finished product - art, photos, and graphics.  Special thanks to all the Jennings boys, including Uncle Alan who participated in the initial photo shoot at the University of Zambia.   The unofficial press release and some insert art:

Introducing Dadi Mwana, the latest CD release from Mathew Tembo and the Dark Black.  
Dadi Mwana’s upbeat, Afro-fusion, reggae-fueled tracks feature Chinyanja lyrics skillfully married with music performed on some of Zambia’s indigenous, handmade instruments - the marimba (silimba), kalumbu and kalimba.  On this Album The Dark Black grooves behind Mathew while Zambia’s favourite artistes (including Cactus, Chileshe Nshumfuwa, and Jay Jay Munthali) join in the celebration.    





(the last photo was switched out in the final version of the insert with one where he's not cracking up at the boys and their seriousness about their work.  Mathew was so sweet to put up with 4 photographers and 5 cameras...two belonging to a 4 and 7 year old...)
