Full Spectrum System - City of Covington
For this project I was approached by the Arts District Manager from
the city of Covington to create a folding poster and website for a 
month long arts festival in October. I was to design everything
from the logotypes for each event to the website with emphasis on
clarity and structure. Click here to view the Full Spectrum Website.

Obesity at Large Campaign - Personal Project
When asked to come up with an identity system for an awareness
project, I was immediately turned on to the growing problem
of obesity amongst people living in the United States. My decision
was to create a system that was aesthetically friendly and
accessible, but conceptually very serious.

Mr. Self Destruct - Personal Project
Taking musical composition and translating it into a visual
experience isn't always the easiest task, but usually ends
up being a fun experience. I took the song Mr. Self Destruct
from the Nine Inch Nails which, at it's core, is about an
uncontrollable urge to lose ones self.

Information Design (with detail) - Personal Project
For this project I took an existing informational graph and
gave it a lush graphic to go along with it. The idea was to
take something aesthetically uninteresting and make it very
approachable and educational.

Information Design (with detail) - Personal Project
This graph serves as another iteration of taking a graph and
adding graphical beauty.

Fusion Restaurant System - Personal Project
The idea behind this design system was to create a
restaurant that mixed Asian and French food. I wanted
to capitalize on the quiet dignity that most high class
restaurants utilize. 

360 Magazine Design Layout - Personal Project
There are a lot of magazine designs out there, so the
biggest challenge with this system was to make the design
unique. Creating a highly vertical composition, along with
a strong color scheme allowed me to be a bit more loose
with my design decisions.

Wingers System - Personal Project
The idea behind this project was to create an identity system
for a chicken wing based fast-food restaurant. Conceptually, I 
wanted to play on wearing white while eating messy food. I
felt with this design the client wouldn't have to worry about
getting the sauces on the identity collateral.

Aeqai Online System - Aeqai (Bottom right illustration by Hans Schellhas)
As the Director of Graphic Design for Aeqai, an online
art criticism journal, creating a strong and trustworthy 
identity system was a must. My duties include updating 
layout design every month along with bringing in designers 
to create new splash pages

Custom Gift Wrapping - Personal Project
In the spirit of gift giving I wanted people to feel
that I was giving them not only a gift, but a piece of
myself. I wrapped presents with various materials I
often include in my art.

Human Rights Folding Poster - Personal Project
Bringing praise to the human being was the main idea
behind this poster that folds down to be mailed out. While
researching, I found that the most powerful symbol of
humanity might be the fingerprint. Not only does it convey
the complexity of humanity through pattern, but it's also
quite nice to look at.
