holiday cards, take 2.

wit's holiday card. same flipping concept as mine, but dipped in the wit sauce. thanks again to Amanda (of Alee&Press) for helping me print!

holiday cards, take 1.

every quarter i assign my students (at the circus) the same final project: create a new product or service that solves a problem in your life. well, a big problem in my life is that since half of my family is jewish and half is christian, i have to make/get 2 different holiday cards. but not this year.... introducing the holiday card that works for both! just check the box for the appropriate holiday for each receiver and you're good to go.



i've been trying to push the idea of non-digital interactivity to my students and i think these do a good job of getting that across. engage your audience, make them experience design.

i'm thinking about pre-coloring in ones for the old folks, and including colored pencils for the families with kids. the original concept was to just send them out with an X in the box by the appropriate holiday.

thoughts?

oh and a special thanks to Alee&Press for helping me print this weekend. my first letterpress project!



oh, and stay tuned for a slightly different version of this card being printed on wednesday!

also stay tuned for better photos of these cards!

my personal site, take 74

for the past few years i've been promising myself a new website, but i keep changing my mind on what i want it to be. branding yourself is hard! i am my own worst client! minimalist, maximalist, let the work speak for itself or let the site be its own piece? i can never decide. but i was feeling girlie this weekend and looking at old barbie dolls and vintage pics of my grandma and this is just another direction that i will probably abandon. or maybe not.

mustard squid

i had some leftover mustard after i finished my corndog.

architecturally speaking

still working on this, but welcome any thoughts/comments/critique. copy still may change, so haven't perfected the type just yet.

automatic improv: ad concepts

so they're changing the name to automatic improv, which i think makes more sense. here's an idea for a poster/ad. if needbe, additional copy can go in bottom right. thoughts?

mike doughty: sad man happy man

mike doughty (maybe you know him from his soul coughing days?) is one of my favorite songwriters. he's on tour right now to promote his new album, sad man, happy man.

automatic theatre: logo

automatic theatre is an ever-expanding group of improvisors in atlanta. its all about connecting people who have an interest in improv and seeing what kind of energy explodes onstage. logo successful?

rock by the sea

rock by the sea 2009 shirt... this 3color version is the stepchild of a few different directions, which maybe i'll post later.

corey smith :: tour poster

bottom chunk is left open for promoters to write in show info.

beat the streets

another wip.... my friend is starting a nonprofit to get kids off the streets and into organized wrestling programs. here's my favorite of the logos we've been tooling around with, and a possible business card. look is intended to reference birds eye view of city blocks.

temima stationery

final colors for temima have been chosen, and this is my favorite of the stationery options we're presenting. loose-leaf love. might wanna click to enlarge; it's hard to see the rule lines when its small.

fun with type

saw an album awhile back (wish i could remember what it was) that had similar-looking type and always wanted to try to recreate it. here's a stab at my favorite 5 letters in the alphabet.


and the remix:

leon farnberg @ 2124

my friend's band is leon farnberg. thought it'd be fun if they "opened" for kings of leon by playing a "show" at home for their friends before they all went to the KOL show. 2124 san luis is his home address. hilarity ensues?

global resolutions :: logo

wip for new worldwide mediation company.

neutral gator :: logo + shirts

neutral gator develops and coordinates projects, primarily within the local community, to compensate the carbon dioxide that is emitted per each university of florida home football game.


shirts were printed on american apparel sustainable edition fabric.

type style for a capella

i have a friend who directs an a capella group, and have been trying to find the right place to use this style - in a capella, voices overlap and come together harmoniously, which kinda made me think of venn diagrams. translucent colored letters overlapping to create one beautiful word/graphic. maybe some national a capella show/competition would let me brand it?

temima :: logo

logo for all-girls high school

cmb peeps - illustration

testing out a style by tracing over a photo. i'm amused.
