I updated my website to include some photos of the invitation (and program booklet cover) for the Drexel University Graphic Design Senior Show.

I was asked by the Graphic Design faculty to design the materials for the Graphic Design 2012 Senior Show. This included: a self-mailing invitation, various web graphics, program booklet cover, assorted day of event posters, directional signage, and name plates. Using found scraps of screen prints, I created a collage in my sketchbook that I then scanned into the computer and dissected, reassembled, and manipulated. I wanted the look and feel of all of the materials to showcase the power of color and design more image-based work than typographic (as seen in previous years’ invitations.)

Pretzel Bold | Advanced Typography

Walked into Advanced Typography with John Langdon yesterday with “Bite the alphabet” written on the chalkboard. The class spent the next 40 minutes carefully biting off bits, ends, knots, and loops of Uncle Jerry’s Hard Pretzels to make a full alphabet. Granted, it’s a mix of upper and lower case (and the only consistent style is ‘salted’) - but it was a tremendously fun experiment and team-building exercise nonetheless.

Above: the full alphabet, and a photo-collage of my name out of pretzel.
