Happy New Year!
Happy New Year to all my clients and friends. 2009 was one of the most challenging years I’ve ever had, but it was also a year of development for my photography and of course, graphic design is ever-evolving. Here’s a look back at a few of the assignments and projects from this past year. Now [...]

Where Film Crosses the Aisle 2009

The Impact Arts & Film Fund was created “as a platform for arts, documentary and narrative filmmaking to engage with the political and policy arena.” This year the festival is taking place in the shadow of the dome on Capitol Hill—I ask you is there a [...]

Color is cool.
Designing a media kit can be a touch dry. Lots of sales figures, statistics, graphs and of course more text than should ever be put onto one page. So that was my challenge—and I love a challenge. This is the T+D Magazine media kit for 2009. A glorious colorful—dare I say clever?—publication designed with one [...]
The one that got away

The toughest part was when the client decided to discontinue their publication Learning Executive Magazine. I designed this puppy from the ground [...]

I also wrote the tagline for those events: Where Film Crosses the Aisle. I [...]
This baby is green.
Joyababy! Great name, yes? It demands to be shouted—joyously. My client Joyababy isn’t just a pretty name, they’ve got great products and a great philosophy. Keep it green. I developed this insert for their über-clever diaper clutch. It had to be as cool as the products are and get the green message across. Did I [...]

Photographer, Designer, Webmaster, etc. Just recently they’ve launched a new product. Quite clever, this new product is a screen-printed crown. I’ve scoured the Web and found nothing like it. But [...]
Once upon an opera
One of my favorite clients is Opera Vivente (OV) of Baltimore. A growing opera company with big, original, inspiring ideas and fantastic talent headed by director John Bowen. John and I are similarly-minded when it comes to creative. For the 2009/10 season I hired the very talented Linda Olliver to illustrate elaborate, fairy tale inspired [...]
