What has shaped you?
The not so obvious answer, would be my interest in horror culture. All these aspects find their way into the shapes I create, in one form or another. I am heavily influenced by horror designers, such as Justin Erickson and Gary Pullin. They have taught me that being different and outside of the herd, are good things.
corporate identity
Challenge: Design a corporate manual for an existing company. Solution: I redesigned the Airmiles logo, creating a more clean, fun and modern look. The manual I designed was based around these aspects.

icon set
Challenge: Create an icon set for use on a device such as an iPhone or iPad, using a theme. Solution: I used a vintage Victorian theme to represent modern technology. I chose simple silhouettes as well, to stand out from the aqua button.
illustration
Challenge: Design a cover of The New York Times using an illustrative style inspired by the illustrator/musician being showcased. Solution: I chose Tim Burton for my cover, and simulated his pen and ink style using illustrator. I also combined watercolor textures to really emphasis that "Tim Burton feel."
poster design
Challenge: Design a gig poster for a band of your choice, using a maximum of four colors, taking into consideration it's application to other media. Solution: For my design I chose Rasputina, and used imagery taken from their song lyrics. I created a simple illustration using only two colors, for easy screen printing.
