Death Cab For Cutie

18 x 24 in, three color screen-print

Gig poster for Death Cab For Cutie's concert at UC Berkeley during their summer 2009 tour with Andrew Bird and Ra Ra Riot.

2001: A Space Odyssey

13 x 19 in, two color screen-print

Typographic poster for Stanley Kubrick's science fiction masterpiece. The famous quote is not included in the final version of the film but appears in Arthur C. Clakre's original book. The em dash that breaks the phrase represents the ever present monolith. The poster is set in Futura Extra Bold, (Kubrick's typeface of choice) and printed with glow in the dark ink, so the star field only becomes visual in the darkness of space.

Bust this Freestyle

Set of 12 x 18 in, two color screen-prints

13

Set of 13, 11 x 17 in

Objective:

Create a poster a week that visually communicates a word for that week. At the end of thirteen weeks collect the series into a self-promotional package.

Description:

An exploration into the context, interpretations and narratives that we associate with words; the series of posters cover a wide range both stylistically and how they communicate each word. While some are simple visual interpretations (i.e. a swan for "elegance") others are more indirect in their interpretation and have a more lengthy back story (i.e. the poster for "strive," a photograph my broken arm in a cast and the date it broke, as metaphor for striving during trying situations.)

45rpm Series

11 x 17

Series of typographic posters inspired by seminal post punk, New Wave and electronic 45rpm releases of the 70s and 80s.
