BET Rebrand

Styleframes and Print.

for Interspectacular

In this rebrand we decided to brighten up the overall look of BET, whose previous branding was quite dark and heavy. An assortment of bright colors was made to feel bigger and full of life by balancing whites, gloss, and modern bold fonts. All of these elements helped to give the network a contemporary pop feel. In an attempt to further push the coherency of the brand elements of the BET's Chevron Logo were used subtly throughout all of the collateral.

Pines Party

I was commissioned by We Came In Peace to concept the graphic branding for a Pines Party Production. The original name of the party was "Bedtime Stories" but changed to "Once Upon a Pines Party" later into the project. The theme behind the party was fairy tales, so there were many elements that borrowed from Medieval art and design while remaining modern. A dark element was included for the website to create a sense of adventure and mystery before the print collateral was rolled out. Many different concepts were developed and produced and I have just included my favorites.

VOLXVI Icons

VOLXVI is a series of mobile magazines. They commissioned me to design a series of icons representing each of the magazine brands. The individual magazines have different themes so the solution to ground them into a coherent whole was that the various icons needed a similar size and perspective. Since the magazines were designed to be viewed on a mobile app, the buttons were given the same look as many iphone applications.

Gig Posters

Gig Posters have always been a major inspiration to me. In fact the posters I made as a kid for local shows as well as creating zines where probably the two biggest factors in my decision later in life to become a graphic designer.

Recently I was contacted by my friend Joey Breakdown to develop a poster for an upcoming event and the only direction I was given was to make it inspired by they early 1980's. I've always been a big fan of the neo deco stylings used in early hip hop flyers so used this opportunity to make an Homage the period.

Luke Roberts contracted me to make a poster for him last summer. His haunting crooning evoking a feeling of travel through small towns on a train, inspired me to take an image of a place caught in time and add a stylized haze that displaced this world into the hot heat of an August show in New York.

for Mantra.

With the popularity in 3d in film the brief asked to used 3D elements without being filmed in 3d. The solution was to go with a low-fi Viewmaster for the imagery. This allowed us to illustrate the point and a way to bring in alternating clips for the movie awards

Custom Type

Alphabattle up over at LetterCult.

I've always had an obsession with custom type and have always wanted to create a stylized alphabet, but it seemed like a daunting task. That is why I jumped at the opportunity to publish the work as I went with lettercult. Having the timeline gave me the push I needed to complete this alphabet.
