PosterizationPhoto duplication with Vector GraphicsHand-done graphic reproduction of high end photography is the basic definition of this technique. The images created are simultaneously classic and edgy and are highly versatile in their uses. Though technology has progressed to the point that this process can sometimes be automated, this usually proves a poor substitute for an artist’s eye for emphasis and detail.

Custom graphics designed to establish the outward image of a company, band, website or event. These graphics need to be usable for anything from small-size, one color to high end display. Although heavy on the graphic support each design was initally driven by type choices.

Campaign DesignDefining a MessageThese ads were developed in a series that ran in multiple publications across the country for a period of a year. Customers would often said they recognized the ad before seeing the company logo. This was achieved through unified design, message and imagery.

Illustration High-End Graphics pt 2Multi-use graphics intended to communicate mood and feeling visually with a high level of impact. Graphics are intended for use on posters, CD covers, brochures and websites. Again, type decisions were made early and drove the visual look of the project.

Development Products & PackagingTwo examples of designs used for custom fitted layouts. In the case of “Just Play It!”, I worked directly with the book’s writer and printer to develop a blues harmonica method for classrooms students, including the icon set which was used to divide lessons on the book’s interior.

Photos Pt 1 Compositing
Components
Composite
Alternate Shot
Components
CompositeThe perfect shot doesn’t exist. Even the best photographer can’t deliver 100% reproducible results in the real world. Sometimes you need two pieces of fiberglass to be a polished floor. Sometimes it takes multiple shots to display a product in a familiar way. When the shoot ends, the work begins.
Photos Pt 2 ToningIn real-world shooting situations, light can be unpredictable. In the studio, it takes time to set lights and cameras to get things just right. In an on-location shoot with models being paid by the hour, it’s not usually practical or possible to get consistent lighting or coloration. Digital toning is the only way to be sure that the audience sees the color and life you had envisioned.
