EXTRARCHITECTURAL

xarchLogo for architecture collaborative EXTRARCHITECTURAL. The concept behind the mark for is a structural abstraction of the positive and negative space created from the letter X and the letter A. This creates a container of sorts. The basic idea behind this is that EXTRARCHITECTURAL is a collaborative of different artists and designers working together at different times places, etc. EXTRARCHITECTURAL itself can be seen as a container that holds different types of people and projects at any given time, adaptable to multiple uses.

Carter + Boom

IMG_0002

Poster announcing a collaborative workshop given by Matthew Carter and Irma Boom. The poster is intended to represent both Carter and Boom’s work. The layering and colors are reference to Irma Boom’s book  designs and the formal play with letterforms are a reference to type design of Matthew Carter. In addition to the formal references the gradation represents the fact that the dates were constantly changing and ultimately the workshop never took place.
