I create original photographs, illustrations and typographic layouts and apply them to a variety of different print mediums, utilizing a modern, austere design sensibility. My goal is to achieve a straightforward, attractive vehicle for information dissemination. Client work has included posters, signage, various promotional efforts and branding systems for businesses and community organizations.
As required by the part-time advertising print work that I do for the Hour Detroit publications, I shoot original photographs, create type layouts and sometimes create a company’s logo. Then I compile the advertisement and submit it to Hour Magazine’s print department, to industry-standard file formats and information profile specifications.
