The Typeset annual report - - 11 x 22" spread, 2 color - This spread is part of an annual report for The Typeset, a type-design studio.

Alone In My Car - - 7.25 x 8.5" finished, 1 color - Alone In My Car is an investigation into the social impacts of the Car Culture. For the book, I conceived and implemented each element of the design including format, typography, illustration, and photography. The challenge was to appeal to both academia and a wider popular audience. Type, image, and asymetric application of a multi-unit grid combine to create a classical but dynamic environment.

Urban Elements advertisement - - 5 x 7.5", 4 color - This half-page piece was designed prospectively to meet the needs of donated ad-space. Nonexistent deadlines, four or single color printing, and varying formats and dimensions were some of the restraints considered. Pictured here is one of the final variations.
