| Four
page spread for HonestMag profiling musical artist Martyn. Featured
in the magazine's Lost Cities section, of which I also designed the
logo. |
|
| |
 |

four page spread for HonestMag. This article was dedicated to the

| Even
after a long day of client work I could always sit down until the
wee hours of the morning and jam on some identity work. Summing up
a brand in a tumb-sized image has forever been a fun challenge. Below
are some samples of my favorites. |

 |
| This
short entitled dot dot dot was my final film at the conclusion of
college and marks a very important moment in my life. It's great to
have this film as a finite reminder of this period. I shot it with
a small crew over four days. My sister and I play the lead parts and
it was a blast working and hanging with sis for a long weekend. Its
the work I'm most proud of to date. Although I have left my acting
career behind, my sister is still quite exceptional in front of the
camera. Check out her website
after you watch the film by clicking here.

 |
| Typography
has become an obsession of mine which I find to be quite a driving
force in the overall direction of my current design work. Its fascinating
for example how simply adding or removing a serif, adjusting the kerning,
using depth, or utilizing a set's alternate characters could changes
a comps overall feeling/theme. |
|
| |
 |
| This
was a fun project I collaborated on with my friend Mark Smith. Firefox,
an internet browser provider, held a contest in which they asked user
to create their own commercial promoting their browser. We decided
to take a cue from 70's educational films and created a series we
called Your Guide to Awesome - Parts 1 Through 3. You can view the
spots here: Part
1, Part
2 and Part
3. |

 |

sleeping "types". |
|
| |

Sage Francis put the word out he was looking for some designs for
his 12" single "Makeshift Patriot", a song dealing
with the tragedy/media frenzy that was September 11th, 2001. The response
was very positive and hopefully it will be popping up at a record
store near you in the near future. |
|
| |
 |
| Here's
a series of designs I put together for a skateboard company I was
starting called Vestige Sports. The line dealt with the themes of
history and time. These were a lot of fun putting together and still
stands as some of my favorite work. |
|
| |
 |
| This
was a short intro for Best Buy that ran in front of their Video On

| This
is the cover for HonestMag issue #2 of which I Art Directed and designed
the entire issue. Since the name of this issue was "Tastes Like

shipping eggs or poultry. Hence the type design which I also designed
and the branded look to the woodgrain. |

8-bit system) and the Famicom (Nintendo's Japanese 8-bit system).
