There is not a ton to say about this. Aaron needed a site, I offered to do it while I was an intern (and he a freelancer) at King and Country. Aaron's got a sick work room, a kind heart and some serious skills.

The site was featured on Motionographer soon after, albeit not for site design, but for Aaron's skills.

This was made to be projected on a wall. It was done at an extremely wide aspect ratio of 5:1 - 3000 X 600. Originally, the opening robotics were to be the vehicle for type, the dialogue would appear on screens that the robots carried. It was too unwieldy to accomplish in 5 weeks, just the 10 seconds of robot animation took 4 days to render.

The quick concept was "a battlefield of type." The styleframes on the left comminicate the different iterations this concept took. The main premise consisted of two computer interfaces communicating with each other, the robots still act as the vehicle, but instead of always being stuck in the 3D robot perspective, the viewer is entering the screen and observing the inner dialogue between the characters.

This is roughly 4 boards strung together (7000×1080). You can check it out here. This PDF shows my brainstorming process, conceptual drawing and the final frames.

I roto-ed so many images for this particular design direction, but I only used about 20. I have about 50 other images I could have stuck in there, but there needed to be negative space.

These were the first styleframes I made for a Visualization and Storyboarding class at SCAD. The concept was to create this idea of balance, cause and effect. Fruits, organics, etc. at one end of the spectrum. Joy, happiness, energy at the other end, and where both meet is SoyJoy.

Normally, after creating style frames they would then be turned into motion, but that is a different class.

I chose to rebrand Dateline NBC for a grad packaging class I'm taking at SCAD. The concept behind the whole Dateline rebrand is as follows: A puzzle, a work in progress that comes together to expose the truth and uncover the Dateline logo. Design goal: A crime scene, out of order--floating in an abyss of dead ends.

The viewer is privy to leafing through this jumbled mess of data, finally leading to the Dateline Logo. Dateline is the gateway to exposing truth and giving these fragmented elements order and meaning. This is a series of 5 wide boards.

This was my first assignment in an Interactive Web Design class I took at SCAD. I enjoy the design, even though it probably isn't best for a website.

I created some pretty nice logos that are integrated into the pages, thats probably the only reason this is here. I enjoy the logos.

I originally wanted these to look incredibly clean, but I found that to be bland and it looked like I didn’t put much thought or time into them, which was completely not the case. I decided to blend the old and the new, helvetica and a patina of use in order to capture the feel of New York.

I'm aware that such a design direction probably wouldn’t be taken by the Lincoln Center judges, they tend to have cleaner design aesthetics. I did what I wanted to do, it’s different for me and I’m happy I went that route — there is a lot of little details and textural effects in these boards. Thanks for coming, view them here.

This is the book I created for graduate Typography Studio 1. There is not much else to say about it. The book is self-explanatory. It contains a summary of Robert Bringhursts - Elements of Typographic Style, a poster, typographic models.

The book was made at Blurb, it was a good class. It was a challenge, but worthwhile.

I had to design two directions for Arte, a French and German Arts & Culture channel. I uploaded the process book, and frames here.

The process book explains it in-depth, but there are two design directions here based upon one concept of trancending whatever the situation is. The two situations presented are business / work and the physical bounds of the world - gravity.
