The Spoken Word Revolution
I am in debt to Art Director Megan Moulden who asked me to help with the design and layout of this book. This book earned us first place for overall design at the 2003 Chicago Book Clinic. Each design element was chosen for its edgy beauty. The font Porcelain is used, with its beautiful script, as an edgy ornamental detail almost like blobs of ink from the poets pen. We minimized the images to a photocopied look and turned all of the internals to 2 colors for printing. This piece became what it is because of a great collaboration.
The War of the Worlds

Ink Station
When Ink Station opened its first store they wanted a clean, green way to promote their ink cartridge refilling business. Their hope was to achieve a big store look with a neighborhood feel. The ink droplets in the shape of the recycled logo made a big impact on their community. The brand was then set in stone by designing a brochure, newspaper ads, door hangers, in-store signage and this cartridge box. All materials were printed on recycled paper.
Ozinga Green Building
Leading ready-mix concrete supplier Ozinga Bros needed help to organize and promote their new environmentally-friendly concrete products.

It was targeted at architects and city planners who might put this on their desk and continue to use it.
