Background

About David Casto

Moderation is a fatal thing… Nothing succeeds like excess."- Oscar Wilde Productions started out as the brainchild of David Casto during one of his first college design projects. In addition to starting his fledgling freelance design firm, there was a class project to design a logo/identity. Dave Casto chose to create an identity for his own firm. He picked the name as his design company identity- based on the above quote, to encourage the small businesses he would be working with as a freelance designer to invest in their own marketing and design/branding efforts. David’s “Domain of Design Concepts” was born. “The road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom.” - William Blake, The Marriage of Heaven and Hell While always active in design and consultation, Dave’s ever-present true loves- music, event planning, djing, and karaoke- continued to occupy all his free time. The company scope evolved to provide Dave an outlet for entrepreneurship through providing entertainment, and he refocused his design efforts to advancing his own identity and brand. Today, Dave’s Productions is known for karaoke, trivia, & photobooth all across Central Ohio. His company provides behind-the-scenes support to venues and individuals in planning knockout nights for bars & restaurants week after week, as well as training other hosts in his simple philosophy of always being the best at whatever they do. Get to one of Dave’s shows- it is some of the most reliable fun you can have in the city. “I could do with a bit more excess. From now on I’m going to be immoderate–and volatile–I shall enjoy loud music and lurid poetry. I shall be rampant.” ― Joanne Harris, Chocolat Dave’s personal and company philosophy is simple: with everything that he does -be it a wedding, a trivia night, a logo, a website, or a video for people's cats to watch- he will either be making an impression or making excuses; he would much rather make an impression.
