  • Forces of Nature Poster: Placing Type

    I firstly added some more little circles and a hand-drawn (with ink) stroke to help integrate the wave and drop.The contrast between the drop and the background was too different, for text to be really readable, so I added a hue/saturation layer in photoshop.

  • Forces of Nature Poster: Rendering

    I went with this little gem. I wanted to keep it simple, but when I talked to Jill, she wanted to see more “horror” (see the title of the lecture: Brian Skerry reveals ocean’s glory — and horror) and we looked at some images of cresting stormy waves. I drew this wave and scanned it in…

  • Apex Poster and Postcard

    After some research, reviewing a detailed creative brief and logo guidelines, and a few visits to the Apparel Design Program’s workspace, I worked on this poster. I was inspired by the idea of what they wanted to convey “modern but touched by the hand.” I immediately thought of folded paper like I did for a poster…

  • Brighton Logo: Thumbnails
