These are three separate business cards that I created for myself during my Print Production class. They are distinctly different from each other by both style as well as approach. One is more elegant and focuses on typography, while the other is much more colorful and playful, with the last card being a transition between the two aforementioned styles.

This was created for my typography class. We were to design the cover, layouts, and style of certain sections of this cookbook as we interpreted its personality. I felt this cookbook, titled ‘Local Heroes’, along with its chapter headings and descriptions, presented itself as friendly, genuine, uplifting, and most of all, fresh. Everything from the color palates to type was chosen to convey this atmosphere. The layouts and color are playful and stimulating, while the type treatments are also friendly and welcoming, yet without losing its dependablility.

Typographic Song Poster
Suicidewinder, Ridley Bent

This assignment was to create a single poster using the lyrics of one song. The poster was to convey the tone and feel of the chosen song. The song I chose was "Suicidewinder" by Ridley Bent, a dark, highspirited, roughneck "hick-hop" song for the basass in everyone.

Deliverables: 1 24" x 16" poster

Type Specimen Book

This third year assignment was about understanding the history of type design. The ten page saddle stapled booklet features three significant typefaces from different historical periods. Each spread in the booklet uses the typographic style of the period that the historical font originated in.The book states historical information about the typeface, and each spread presents the typeface in a historically appropriate manner that reflects how the type would have been used when it was first designed. The typefaces presented in my book includes Caslon, Didot, and Futura.

Deliverables: 1, 10 page saddle stapled booklet.

Grey Area
Fall 2010 Grad Project

Trying my hand at black and white photography did not impress me. I constantly fought the urge to capture the colours that captured me. I  went through countless rolls of film only to be disappointed when all that developed were shades of grey. Although I knew they would turn  out this way, and some were really quite beautiful, I was still disappointed. I longed to revisit the vivid colour that I remembered photographing.
