Native Texan Doug LaRue designed his first book cover in high school as a sophomore in 1981. It was the yearbook— normally not worth mentioning except the book won a national publication design award and the publisher decided to make a film featuring the student staff. Soon after, Doug was inducted into the the National Honor Society and the National Quill and Scroll Honor Society for Journalism and won the Thomas Jefferson Scholarship.

This led to an invitation to photograph the President of the United States as a member of the national press corp before graduating from high school. LaRue was a staff photographer for Texas A&M University annual and news publications during his college years.

LaRue began his career as a photojournalist working as a stringer for United Press International and Associated Press. before moving to Austin in 1988 to take an Art Director position with a small publishing company. In 1994 LaRue worked for an investment company as an Art Director and While working on a series of books LaRue had the opportunity to work with Cinestar Films on a movie called Rigged starring Academy Award winner George Kennedy. LaRue also had a unique opportunity to tap into his college training in Architecture to design two buildings: a 8000 s.f. office/meeting facility and a 18,000 s.f. commercial retail center.

After the successful completion of those projects LaRue founded Glaze Studio, a creative visual media design and production company focused on branding Print, Web and Motion Media. The studio's first brand design project was for the Texas Department of Transportation producing a statewide identity campaign for the Motorcycle Safety Bureau. The project, called "CycleVision" included promotional branding, collateral advertising and television commercials starring Jimmie Vaughan with a pair of magic sunglasses, 50 motorcycles and a 56 T-Bird.

Glaze Studio created their first viral marketing campaign in 1996. MusicTexas.Com is an online music community social network experiment and groove archive that features independent music through photography, video and reviews. The site includes online stores with digital download capability, DVD documentary film sales and promotional specialty products, affiliate advertising for major market companies like Apple iTunes, AT&T Wireless, Netflix, Movielink. MusicTexas has grown onto MySpace, Facebook and Youtube.

In 2005 LaRue produced, photographed and edited the music video “Break” by Ultrasonic and was nominated for “Music Video of the Year” by The Austin Music Network.

More recently LaRue was Director of photography for Spectrum Films shooting two Archeology / Anthropology films in Bolivia featuring the Native Bolivian Imarra tribe’s ancient boat building masters filmed on location on the island of Sireque, Lake Titicaca in the shadow of the Andes Mountain range. The second film was focused on research related to solstice alignments and sacrifices at the temples of Tiwanaku. Footage from these films recently aired on The History Channel’s “Digging for the Truth”.
