Hello, this is 09 Creative . . .
ALSO KNOWN AS, REECE QUINONES
Creating beautiful + effective visual solutions through art direction and design.
I am a creative director, designer, and graphic design professor in the Washington, DC area. Throughout my agency, newspaper, non-profit, and corporate experiences, I have developed the insight necessary to translate concepts into effective visual solutions. My design experience extends from art direction and concepting to design and delivery stages, utilizing production, digital processes, prepress, and printing techniques.
Combining art and technology to transform communication problems into visual solutions is truly my passion and I am lucky enough to also call it my career.
Why 09 Creative?
REASON ONE: When designing, there are 9 elements and 9 principles that I like to use as a starting point.
REASON TWO: Did you know that if you multiply nine by any whole number (except the number zero), and continue to add the individual digits of the answer until there is just one digit, you will always end up with nine. (Ex. 9 x “any whole number, except zero” –> 9 x 564 = 5076 –> 5+0+7+6 = 18 –> 1+8 = 9)—impressive, huh? Which leads us to reason three.
REASON THREE: Nine also has been known to mean full-circle or completion.
REASON FOUR: Only 1/9 of an iceberg is above water. (Hmmm…deep!)
REASON FIVE: And, last but I feel is the most important reason…I was born on the ninth day of the month.
