Slaughterhouse Five. The aim of these designs was to capture the mood Kurt Vonnegut’s literature while keeping the covers cohesive. I used a bold design featuring limited color palettes in each and expirimental layering of typeface and imagery. Spring 2011.

Cat's Cradle. Spring 2011.
Brave New World. This is a series of three science fiction and dystopian novels. I designed them to subtly feature the human figure interacting with imagery specific to each novel. These are a mixture of vector shapes, photomanipulation and collage. Spring 2012.

Philia: Cover. This is an identity experiment. I wanted to fabricate a controversial and difficult magazine to create a logo, cover, contents page and feature spread for. I aimed to keep the publication classy and modern despite its subject being fetishes and fixations. It is intruiging and slightly off-putting. Spring 2011.

BFA Catalog Cover. I designed the catalog, poster and invitations to the Senior Bachelor of Fine Arts Exhibition for 2012. I wanted to make it interesting, sophisticated and neutral to all concentrations of art. I worked with Queen City Printers Inc. and my design assistant Shawna Armstrong to create invitations, the catalog and posters for the show based around this design. Spring 2012.

Album Design: 3D View. The a capella group A Sharp Arrangement from SUNY Potsdam hired me to create a CD cover and booklet design for their new album “Live Your Life.” I was given complete freedom, so the design shown is one of four very different concepts. The CD is on sale online and physically. I did not design the actual CD design. Spring 2012.
