Nice to see how Adobe Illustrator graphics finally translate and how people interact with them. This project was done for a small bank that is growing!

Tooling around on the F train platform one evening.

Blast-from-the-past: A poster I designed for the Detroit Chapter of the AIGA on a Dutch poster exhibition. The piece was submitted to the printer as a mechanical with overlays (cut-and-paste).

Logo for a residential construction company startup where the image of a Christian cross was important to work in for the business owner.

The BJTBronx logo turned into a mural celebrating the new commercial district that includes Burnside, Jerome and Tremont Avenues.

Always nice to know that clients are happy with the designs made for them, especially when they can have a drone film their logo drawn in the snow.

Melanie wanted to riff off of a beloved painting of a fox for her startup skincare business identity. The addition of a coach’s whistle helped make sense of the fox image, along with an focused, no-nonsense face.

Always nice to see the graphics for a client in an actual store, in this case right up my street at 2nd Avenue.

This is the cover of a 16-page report for UNDP, which is a UN organization that provides goals for countries to create peace and democracy. The use of the dove was a requirement to sit alongside another set dove logos ;-).

I found these invitations while searching through old work to send to Iara Pierro De Camargo, who is writing an article about my graduate design schoolCranbrook Academy of Art. The two were designed for the art museum in 1987 in the then-popular retro style à la the late, great Tibor Kalman. I remember taking flak from the metalsmithing chair Gary Griffin during a school-wide set of individual critiques, and rightly so. They have a racial and gender bias that I only understood after he pointed it out.

Thanks Dave Hopkins for the interview and the chance to talk about stories from the print world of graphic design. Dave has also set up a Spotify link of the same interview: https://open.spotify.com/episode/6i5Fxstv9BlEGDdZYZ3Bvl

Part of a series of posters, postcards, and buckslips (approximately the size of a dollar bill) for this non-profit credit union on the Lower East Side (below Houston Street). The goal was to use interpretive typography and composition in a fun, upbeat and legible way.
