Garden Game

Cute little postcard for our Garden Games promotion, inspired by vintage Victorian style seed packets of the 1920's but with a clean, modern twist.

Nightclub Rebranding

Rolling out on April 1 with my long-awaited Masquerade rebranding signage. I'm pretty excited about getting this out into the world. The previous branding for the club was created by an agency in Texas... an agency that had never actually BEEN in Masquerade. This collateral is truly a labor of love for me as it's one of the few things I'm able to design and produce relatively unmolested by a million various opinions. You may hate it... but that's fine because I love it. Booyah!

Artistry

I have been pretty obsessed over the past year with the artistry of ballet. Everything about it... the fluidity of movement, the shapes in both positive and negative space the dancers create, the mood it conveys so effectively without words – without music even, the tension and ease and color and form. One of my New Year's Resolutions for 2010 is to achieve – or at the very least strive to achieve these principles in my design.

Let it Show, Let it Show, Let it Show!

Clearly, I have been given WAAAY too much license to write copy, conceptualize and stamp everything with my own personal aesthetic. Behold, my cutesy semi-retro Holiday Movie Fest poster. My favorite part is definitely the movie theatre carpet sampled and used as the pattern for the tree. And, of course, the popcorn snow and movie reel snowflakes. Doesn't it get you in the mood to sit outside in the cold with a snuggie and a hot chocolate and watch your favorite holiday movie? See you on Fulton Square!

After Two Months of Labor...

This baby was born. The Tenth Anniversary Boxed VVIP Invitation for Harrah's New Orleans. I am actually pretty proud of keeping it as intact as I did considering all the challenges faced in the process of designing and producing this piece – which, of course, are the same challenges that pop up in designing ANY piece, specifically one as high-end and highly visible as this one.

Inspired by the familiar textures in a casino – card table felt and playing cards – I created a keepsake invitation in a table felt-covered box. The box included a booklet detailing the impressive contributions of Harrah's New Orleans to its community, an invitation to the VIP Anniversary Party and a commemorative deck of custom playing cards.
