I did the banner graphics for the Veritas Forum Science & Faith Film Competition. I was going for “The Discovery Channel meets The Tree of Life” and I think I pulled it off. Check out the competition here.
Here’s the beginnings of a graphic identity for a summer camp that is serious about classical music but also actually fun and, you know, a summer camp.
Part one of a series, Agitation Propaganda for People Who Think Philosophy Matters and Ideology Stinks.
I put together this poster for an upcoming Veritas Forum event at Amherst College.
This looks like precisely the sort of thing I would never want to attend. But design is all about solving other people’s problems, not being narrowly committed to certain ideas and ideals. (Unless you’re a famous designer. Then you really do get to choose what to work on.) This makes use of typesettings from Photo-Lettering (Swiss Interlock, to be precise.)
We are finally running a proper campaign for Summer Session instead of just letting it ride on the coattails of our full year program. I am the culprit behind the concept and execution of “July is an Investment in September” and, so far, the results have been quite favorable. We have seen a jump in high quality leads (inquiries) and I’m hoping the program will fill out soon. This is the print ad that is running in some camp guides and Bay State Parent. It complements an email campaign that also focuses on the icons I drew for each summer program. I think they lend a focus and punchiness to the writing and emphasize that skills will be developed. In that way, they are almost like merit badges.
This is a work in progress, but I’m pleased with the direction. Hopefully we’ll actually get this journal off the ground by April. (N.B. I realize it’s obvious, but most of the cover lines are just placeholder text that are also weak attempts at humor.)
How do you convey romance, jazz, Valentine’s Day, and cool without being schmaltzy? Focus on color and typography.
Oh, did you say you needed a cool jazz poster? I can do that.
Boy, it’s been a while. The good news is that the baby is now sleeping through the night. The bad news is that I have a huge backlog of things to put up here. Prepare for the flood.
