Posters for a trade show. Quite large, 24×36″ when printed. I did a lot of work for Acorelle at this time, but these were among the nicer looking pieces.
Logo Overhaul for Bilingual Buds
Bilingual Buds is a Mandarin school for children in two locations. The new logo is quite an improvment over the old in terms of legibility and credibility.
Redrawn Logo
The Actors Studio didn’t have a digital version of their logo for use in web and tv, so I redrew it for them from their old printed pieces.
Book Cover & Spreads
A while back I worked on a book prototype with a friend. This one didn’t make it to the shelves, sadly.
Logo for Globorati
My company Wonderbred worked on the logo and web site for the launch of globorati, a luxury travel blog. Their brand has since emulated itself more on Monocle, but the logo design is still in use.
First Commercial Typeface
To learn Fontographer I started off easy, following Zuzana Licko’s example of a dingbat typeface, I created this kit of dingbats, borders, and frames. Since the whole notion of working with typographic devices like borders and frames is something seen more at the end of the 19th century- I named this kit fin-de-siècle. The design motifs are also very 1890′s, if you’re a fan of type specimens of that period.
This kit has been out through garagefonts.com for quite a while.
Early Type Efforts
Before I learned the software to design type I did a fair amount of experimenting in trying to learn how to devise type. Most of this involved Illustrator software. I can see myself trying to learn some basic principles, that were much more readily apparent in books that I would later be pointed to. I still like the experiments.
