map

Produce a monochrome map showing a journey taken by characters in a novel set in prehistoric eastern Europe and Asia Minor.

I developed this using an atlas map as a reference, labeling map features deemed significant by the author with their names from the novel. I strove for a line quality that felt appropriate to the subject matter.

Create a memorable T-shirt produced via silk-screen printing in a small run of only a few dozen. The piece was to commemorate a group trip taken to the Black Sea to view a total solar eclipse.

For this, the back of the T-shirt, I designed what could be described as a kind of information graphic. The shape in blue outline is a map of the Black Sea, and the cross-hair shows the location of the ship for the eclipse event. I developed the "diamond ring" image that surrounds the map from a photo taken of that eclipse. I reduced the photo to something that could be printed using only black, white, and red ink while allowing for the vagaries of registration when using silk-screen on fabric.

Provide a map to the venue on the back of a business-related event invitation.

I created this in Adobe Illustrator, using key font elements and the soft landform treatment to integrate the graphic with the rest of the invitation. I was responsible for all direction, design and execution.

Provide a map and directions to the venue as part of a wedding invitation.

I wrote the copy and designed and created this map consistent with the look and feel of the rest of the invitation.
