GRAPHS!

This is a little trick. I am always trying to throw art in places where there was not. The writers asked for a simple graph: lines, bars, text...simple. Instead I took the topic of the graph, growth activity amongst chapters of the Free Library, and made a little piece of work. In this way, Im happy because I was able to make something dull into something at least a little interesting, and the writers are happy because they received something they weren't expecting.

Report Card Onesheet.

This simple onesheet, was tasked to look like a report card. Its not the greatest piece of type design, but I enjoyed working on it.

Trunk Show

Above is a simple ad for a "Trunk Show" at the TLA ( a small local concert venue). Nothing special, just like the way it came together.

Brand New Speciaities!

As I have said before, I am frequently called upon to create original ad campaigns/ special ads for simply show, or at the very least possibility, for sale (see HERE).

Like before, the ad was for a movie. Only this time, the movie was the WATCHMEN, something I was not only excited about, but knowledgeable, as I am a comic book reader. There were no strings on this thing, so I just went nuts and threw together some fun compositions. Here go the winning submissions...



These first few were just simple, blowing out a standard page into something a little more than ordinary. Strange colors, graphics bled over type...usual first round stuff.




These are the ones that really hit the mark. I thought it would be interesting if the paper had looked like it was trampled through the rain, and out of that mess the movie logo emerged. I tried to stay fairly close to the comic book logo, as the movie is supposed to do the same.
