Chris Gargani CEO/Executive Producer of Blue Room, the award-winning creative services agency, announced the return of Art Director Paul Waszak to Blue Room.
Five years ago, Waszak set up his design studio, Red Lynx AVS, inside the offices of Blue Room. For three years (2003 to 2006) he worked as a graphic designer, primarily on Blue Room projects, winning projects with the Blue Room team and earning a number honors for their joint efforts.
Awards won were 2007 Gold BDA for Art Direction/Design for the "NFL Measure Up"; a 2007 Gold Promax Award for Adult Program Promotion for the "The Golf Channel On Demand Workshops"; a 2006 Silver BDA for Art Direction/Design for "ESPN Classic and Guinness"; and a 2006 Silver Telly for Art Direction/Design for "NFL Pro Bowl", among others.
However, in 2006 he left the Blue Room family to join colleagues who were starting a new animation and design studio, Poolside Design.
As a Poolside Partner/Creative Director (2006-2007) Waszak concentrated his talents on advertising, broadcast and film projects including the creation of numerous Nickelodeon assignment, graphics for Shrek 3 marketing materials, branding for FUSE, and a pair of promotional music videos designed to get out the vote for Barack Obama.
Now, with a decade of design and animation experience under his belt, Waszak has returned to Blue Room as an Art Director, and, with Art Director Steve Harper, will head the design department that includes Senior Designer Chieh Yen and a team of animators.
