 | After researching surrealist artist Rene Magritte, this project was to create a logo, letterhead, envelope and business card for him. The train and pipe imagery are based on his paintings, with the smoke creating several "M" shapes. |  | This poster promotes CERN, the largest particle physics lab in the world. An internship at CERN is so prestigious, you could write your resume on a napkin and get a job anywhere...well, at least for the sake of this concept. The coffee stain was soy sauce. (Photo: Jane Kortright) |  | The Great War is a video game where the player explores 3D interpretations of Magritte's dream worlds. The cover imagery combines elements of famous paintings like a horse defying gravity. This also required me to make up a new system: Nintendo's Aphelion. |
 | Here's a series of ten postcards to promote Earthshaking Music, a local independent store that specializes in unique cultural instruments. Most of these cartoon drawings are based on friends. The color palette was taken from photographs I shot while researching the store. |  | This color swatch wallet includes 20 oversized student ID cards. I took snapshots and chose a fitting description for each classmate, and then picked a CMYK color palette based on them. Descriptions range from "gregarious" to "from law school to art direction." |  | A bird flying too far south is the basis for this OKSMM promo poster created in Adobe Illustrator. It illustrates a George Bernard Shaw quote about unreasonable people changing the world. Elements of video games were added to make the poster feel more interactive. |
 | This is a self-promotional EP with a focus on typography. The box splits open to reveal the contrast between rocking people's pants off and playing casual coffeehouse ballads. The customized box has a cloth inlay so the flaps fold in easily. |  | How do you illustrate Conan O'Brien's Harvard Class Day speech with only typography? My idea was to enlarge every instance of "ha" and give each a font based on its context. Some HAs are destroying the strict justified Harvard columns, using things like tracking and color to depict a strange juxtaposition. |  | Finally, here's a hanging plexiglass display of my photographs combining 2D cartoon versions of me with real-life environments. Using 70mm slides that emulate animation cels, the piece also includes a battery-operated backlight. |
