Older work
2008 and earlier
Watchguard Technologies
2002
Creative Director for packaging, brochures, trade show booths, and a website. I like the grids, and the big color fields mixed with minimalist photos. The network diagrams were also fun to do as we got to spend a lot of time with the engineers, proving designers weren't all a pack of ditzes.
Playing Cards For Small Hands
Unpublished
How do playing cards lie? A two of hearts actually has four hearts, including the index hearts. These cards have the correct number of pips, and have the added bonus of narrower bottom edges to form a more compact hand.
Sony Music
1995
Freelance Art Director for Sony Music, New York City. I designed CD and video packaging for a variety of Sony artists. I also got to spend a lot of time in the very stellar Sony Music photo archives. And George Avakian very carefully made notes on my layouts and Scotch-taped in photos appropriate to the recording sessions in question. Then faxed them to me at my house! George Avakian!
react magazine
1994
Creative Director for a 4.2 million circulation teen magazine. Remeber when we used to mess with type? I still like the way we broke the grid and generally hacked about.
iVillage
1996
e-postcards. They were just kind of fun to do. I am SO not showing ANYTHING else from that time period! Suffice to say, I was learning how to design good websites alongside everyone else. Most of them were still in the future. I also got to design custom AOL sites with their weird proprietary setup. Whee!
Dr Pepper
For Young & Rubicam
1998
These are WAY past the expiration date but they still crack me up. They were page headers for the Dr Pepper Rec Room, a Flash-based college football promotion. I did these as animated GIFs, with one of those crappy free programs.
