What Where When 2010

This year’s What Where When is based on the art theme of Metropolis. The What Where When is a 96 page booklet with approximately 960 event listings scheduled for the week of Burning Man. The outside cover design portrays both the idealism of living in a thriving, wealthy city partnered with the reality that many urban dwellers live in favelas or shanty-towns.

And if we Shadows

I designed promotional materials for the show ‘And if we Shadows’. This consisted of a poster and postcard. The print materials required a visual language unique enough to describe the show’s content at a glance, and entice possible attendees to buy tickets. The use of performance photos from previous, similar events layered with urban illustrations and a dark sunburst pattern evokes both the urban grittiness and saucy burlesque atmosphere.
