ABSTRACT TIMES SQUARE BILLBOARD

How and why are things made? Who makes them? Design is a fundamental part of our society and at times plays a huge role in how we get through the day. The logo on your coffee cup, the choice of fabric on your automobile’s interior, the height of a doorknob - all of these things are carefully (sometimes not so carefully) considered. That consideration is and integral part of the design process. In season 2 of “Abstract”, we follow 6 designers while focusing on their own individual, unique design process. 

Featured artists include: Olafur Eliasson, Cas Holman, Neri Oxman, Ian Spalter, Ruth Carter & Jonathan Hoefler

This is a series of images I created for the Abstract Season 2 marketing campaign.

36 DAYS OF TYPE

36 Days of Type is a yearly Instagram challenge where designers from across the planet submit their interpretation of the alphabet. These are my submissions over the passed five "seasons". 

ALIEN BOOTCAMP

Alien Bootcamp is the home of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender animation. The goal with the packaging was to create a type driven campaign to perfectly explain the world of ABC. Being that the programming was made up of an ecclectic batch of insanity, the best way to describe it is through word jumbles. So spin the wheel and whatever three words pop up: thats what Alien Bootcamp is all about.

WIRED - EDWARD SNOWDEN

///ADC Silver Cube recipient///

Regardless of your political leanings, it's beyond the shadow of a doubt that Edward Snowden is an extremely polarizing figure in American & World history. His actions against the U.S. government put him in a tremendously dangerous position, while opening the publics' eyes to the scope of U.S. spy programs, both foreign and domestic. 

In 2014, WIRED magazine gained access to arguably the most wanted man on the planet. They were able to obtain a face-to-face interview with Mr. Snowden, allowing him to open up and tell his own story.

///D&AD Wood Pencil recipient///

"Few Hollywood directors can match Christopher Nolan’s ambition, skill, and mind-bending story sense. For our December issue, the man behind Memento, Inception, the Dark Knight trilogy, and Interstellar brings his formidable talents to WIRED as our guest editor. Breaking the issue into five dimensions, we explore everything from the secrets of Nolan’s films and influences to his interest in the complex science of black holes and spacetime. The only way forward is downward." - WIRED Magazine
