This illustration I did for 5280 magazine was selected to appear in Communication Arts Annual 53. Many thanks to Art Director Dana Pritts for a great assignment! The article I illustrated, Making an Impact, discussed restaurants in Denver leading the charge to more environmentally sustainable practices.
The logo I designed for chip-musician Doctor Octoroc will be featured in PRINT’s Regional Design Annual. This was a really fun project to work on. Doc and I spent many hours playing old NES games for typographic inspiration, but the real challenge was coming up with a clever way to take advantage of the shared letters between the two words in his stage name. In the end the best solution was simply to allow them to share the letters and use color to make the abbreviated “Dr.” pop out so the eye reads “Dr./Doctor” then bounces back to the “O” and reads Octoroc.
