Description >   Printed component for a hypothetical exhibition about the Madchester indie dance scene from the early '90s in Manchester, England. For the exhibition catalog, key and influential bands from the musical era (i.e., the Stone Roses, Happy Mondays) were researched for content and a brief narrative history of each musical group was constructed. The format chosen was of a newspaper spread, referencing British music weeklies like the NME or the Melody Maker. When folded down, the catalog takes the form of a series of newssheets outlining a compressed chronological history of each band. Unfolded, it takes the form of a series of decorative posters. In addition to the informational newspaper spreads, typographic posters were designed for each band using selected lyrics from their songs to convey the mood of the music. These typographic posters were intended to provide a more expressive and subjective visual interpretation of the music.

Description > The objective of the programme for the 2004 CalArts Graduation Ceremony was to create an abstract map of the actual grounds of the ceremony that plotted out all points of interest during the event (both significant and banal). The format of the programme is that of a pocket foldout map, which includes an index of the names of every graduating student from the class of 2004. In the design of the programme, every attempt was made to make the map as accurate and related to the event as possible; for instance, the grid coordinates after every student's name accurately correspond to their correct seating assignment, the procession of graduates is portrayed and mapped out accurately, the number of attendees seated at the venue is shown at the actual full capacity, and so on. The goal was that the programme itself acted as an object, inextricably tied to the order of events at the ceremony; as a prop that worked with the floral colour palette of the event's festive multicultural theme; and also as a souvenir that graduates will want to keep from the event.

Description>   Spec commercial made for Pilsner Urquell for the 2006 Kodak Student Commercial Competition. In addition to a stylised period look in the art direction, post-production work was required in After Effects to desaturate and add grain to the filmed footage. Some vignetting and wiping effects were also needed to achieve the desired look of an aged silent film, in particular the work of the French filmmaker Georges Méliès.
