Go Creative is me, Dan Schmidt, as well as a network of web developers and design professionals ready to spring in to action. With over a decade of experience, I've worked at a large advertising firm with Fortune 500 companies, as well as five years as a primary designer at a multi-disciplinary corporate identity firm. In 2006, I hatched Go Creative and have not looked back.

The Sustainable Sites Initiative
An environmental partnership of the Ladybird Johnson Wildflower Center, The American Society of Landscape Architects and the United States Botanic Garden, the Sustainable Sites Initiative is leading a movement to protect and enhance the ability of landscapes to provide services such as climate regulation, clean air and water, and improved quality of life. Their web site includes an interactive timeline, article database, and online questionnaire. This was an exciting project to be a part of.
Piazza Discepoli
Cincinnati is blessed with four Piazza Discepoli wine stores around town, spreading knowledge of the good grape in the Queen City. With their revamped web site, Piazza Discepoli has entered the realm of online commerce. Now anyone in the world can take advantage of expert and creative wine choices from the best. Go Creative helped with a ShopSite store design and implementation. Salute!
Millennium Events
The San Diego party scene will never be the same - Millennium Events raises the bar with VIP events including a gala New Year's event and the 07-07-07 Yacht Party. It's the luckiest day of the year, so Millennium Events invites you to celebrate it on a luxury yacht in San Diego Bay. The web site is a clean, classy and easily navigatable breath of fresh air compared to the gaudy web sites common in this genre. Go Creative is at the forefront of all of the graphic needs for Millennium Events - from web to print ads to online advertising and promotional graphics. Consistency wins the day. Party on.
SouthView
Opening a restaurant in one of the hippest and fastest-growing areas of Cincinnati requires a sophisticated, knock-out identity and web presence. SouthView's contemporary take on southern comfort food called for a fresh, urban look. Go Creative delivered with a concise CSS site that sets it apart from the competition.
Summer People
The internet is the perfect promotional tool for a novelist with a new book. Follow author Brian Groh's tour schedule and check out the rave reviews of Summer People on this Go Creative site that is as crisp as the page in a book.
Halo Photographic
Erin Antognoli, an outstanding and artisitic wedding photographer based out of Washington, DC, came to Go Creative looking for an innovative way to showcase her work. The result is a flash-based powerhouse of an interface that is miles apart from the cookie-cutter photography sites out there. Go Creative also designed a promotional brochure that reflects the unique nature of Erin's work. It is a perfect graphic design marriage - and business is up.
