Mythology Box     Lithography Print | 7.5 x 7.5 x 1| 2005 TOP

Prototype Typeface Storyboard     Large format Inkjet | 22 x 15 | 2003 TOP

Prototype is a highly modular typeface informed by early 20th century geometric type. It is infused with some softer quirks and stroke variations that serve to subtley humanize the pure geometries. The upper case characters have been designed to be identifiable and distinctive, unlike some geometric sans.

 

 

Deco-Rational flyer     Digital Photo Print | 16 x 9 | 2003 TOP

A project guided by guest lecturer Denise Gonzalez Crisp. During the process of creation, the decorative was allowed to over-take the function of the piece, in this case a fictional flyer for a local farmer's market. The final result was balanced between strict utility and over-blown ornamentation.

 

 

Somnus booklet cover     Color Inkjet | 9.5 x 5 | 2003 TOP

It seeks to illustrate the emotive attchment of sleep experienced by the chronically deprived.Daytime becomes intense hyper-reality and the night is filled with visions of transcendence.
