Band Promotion:Freelance designs for the musical group, “On Our Way Home.” Event posters and promotional material with brand recognition and consistency. They are a bluegrass gospel band that likes a vintage western look with organized typography. [Continued on next page]

Movie Poster:With inspiration from the Art Nouveau era we were to create a modern movie poster. By focusing on the work of Alphonse Mucha, I utilized detailed vectoring and layers.

Public Service Announcement:With a reflection on Russian Constructivism, I utilized my own photography to create a comical public service announcement.

Gibson: An original typefaceWhile keeping the principles of proportion in mind, I created a series of abstract ‘letters’ that fit together in one uniform system. As a means to advertise this new ‘typeface,’ I created an animat-ed advertisement that would play across a web banner. Each form drops into it’s respective posi-tion against the background.
