Burning Man Galleries
Currently still in the design and development phase, the Galleries use Plone 3.0 as a CMS, and a customized version of Plone4Artists. These design templates build on some of the interface design choices made for the Burning Blog, such as adding more white space to the page and carrying over the smoke/grey toned colour scheme.
Typographic Calendars
During 2007 FontShop showcased new type family releases in monthly calendars. I designed the calendars for June, September and November of that year. For each calendar, the purpose was to show the range of the typeface being showcased and the unique glyphs and letterforms inherent within that typeface.
Richmond Fruit Tree Project
This project involved the creation of a logo, a website and a print brochure. For the logo, photographs were selected from the project orchard and farm galleries to find an archetypal tree and field. Those elements were turned into stylized vectors, and soft gradients added to bring in light and color.
The Burning Blog
The Burning Blog is a collation of previous blogs from sub-sections of the main Burning Man site. I designed and implemented a custom Wordpress theme for this blog. I integrated some subtle design and layout changes to differ it from the look and feel of the main Burning Man site, allowing the main content to breathe and increasing readability.
Newsletter Type Specimens
FontShop publishes email newsletters on a bi-monthly basis. Each newsletter featured either new releases, previous type face releases now available in OpenType, FontShop website updates and other related information. I was responsible for designing the type specimens and headers for each newsletter, then coding HTML and email versions for the 90,000+ member mailing list.
The challenge was to concisely convey the versatility and appeal of the typefaces in a three or four-line specimen. Display fonts were allowed one or two lines.
Sorsastus
The N-Gage Developer Department in Vancouver approached me to design animal characters and title screens for a game that would demonstrate their gaming API. Because this was a demo version, I had a lot of flexibility to design the animal characters.
Mustn’t Grumble
A logo for one of my grad year projects. Mustn’t Grumble was a line of knitted accessories that used intarsia (a technique using multiple strands of colored yarn) to render enlarged, pixelated typefaces. I used typefaces specifically designed for flash animation.
