December 2011 Behance/AIGA Meetup Poster

Here is a poster I did for Miss. Michelle LeClerc's lovely Behance/AIGA meetups that happen all over Los Angeles throughout the year. This is clearly the last one of the year, and ever...if you are into the whole 2012 thing. So act accordingly and make good decisions and that. Great.

Transcultural Pilgrim-Exhibition Graphics

I had the opportunity to design the exhibition graphics for Transcultural Pilgrim: Three Decades of Work by José Bedia. I was in charge of the title treatment, text panel design/production and various other tasks related to layout and design for the exhibition.

It was an exciting and fufilling experience...I look forward to the next one.

Song of the Week | This Heat-Paper Hats

This is literally what this week sounds like.

Song of the Week: The Walkmen-Another One Goes By

An essentially brilliant song, plain and simple. Everything sounds aged...and not in that way that is making Urban Outfitters rich; just a genuinely gorgeous and timeless collection of sounds really. Ramshackle guitar jangle, splashy percussion...and a stunningly plain vocal performance, and all and the most suitable pace.

Fowler Update: Transcultural Pilgrim Poster

This here is the poster for the upcoming exhibition Transcultural Pilgrim: Three Decades of Work by José Bedia. This is the first exhibition for the Fowler that I developed entirely from the ground up...in terms of graphic treatments. Everything started with the title treatment, a typographic lockup set in ITC Franklin Gothic Compressed. The red will make an extensive appearance throughout the actual exhibition itself. It was chosen based on it's prevalence in the work. The titled angle of the type mirrors qualities of the exhibitions architectural structure, and provides a point of contrast with the very organic work.

You can see the web banner for this as well as other shows still in development here. Coool.

Be on the look out for street banners primarily on the West side of Hollywood for this Transcultural Pilgrim show.
