Re-New

IMG_7109
Poster based on an article from GOOD Magazine which raises the point that the Pentagon or Department of Defense is one of the leading investors in renewable resource technology.
This poster was an experiment in the use of iconography. I was attempting to see if the pentagon shape can be used as a symbol for recycling and as a symbol for the Department of Defense in the same document.

Open Crit

IMG_7098

Typographic system for posters publicizing an open critique in 2007. The system was designed to be printed in numbers of three or more. The type was representative of the event, a shell that contained the work of three very different designers. Each poster contained a selection of work from one of the designers, and the typographic shell was applied over the work and positioned so multiple posters could be connected together.

Poster designed to raise awareness of the issues associated with global warming. The poster contains an ever growing compilation of articles drawn from a variety of sources. The articles are curated and given a column size priority as they might in a newspaper. They are then affixed to the main poster according to their date. The poster contains a generic calendar grid of 31 days. The articles are posted according to which day they are published. Over time the mass of articles that builds is intended to help show how big the problems really are. In addition all articles are printed on the backside of discarded paper.

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.

Designing Politics

32
Proposed poster for the International Design Forum Ulm 2008 edition. The IFG Ulm is an institution giving out annual stipends to projects connecting design and politics. By doing so, it attempts both to foster research and design in this field, as well as a greater awareness of the connection between both. The intent of this poster was to display multiple levels of politics within design, allow for different interpretations and express my personal design voice.
