CYAN Horticulture- money does grow on trees / 2010Invitation / 4" x 6"
With this piece we had a very specific audience that we wanted to target. It all started off with the copy, 'money doesn't grow on trees' is a very well known expression. I thought it would be interesting to play against this idea seeing as cost is a big reason why people don't invest in gardening and horticultural services. The truth being that a well maintained and beautiful garden not only adds to the look and feel of a space but it also adds property value. All the visuals sprung from this idea.

Le Cube / 2010Exhibit Layout / Logo Design / Font Design
This project started off as an exhibit layout and logo design for a the exhibit called 'le cube'. The exhibit centers around a plant container instalation that is comprised of smaller squares, rectangles and other tetris like shapes that when assembled form a single large cube. I knew I wanted a modular font but something that went beyond just basic square type to encompass the idea behind the project. After the project was complete I designed the full isometric font with 3 alternate angles.

Adrienne L. Burk - Speaking for a long time / 2010Book Cover / 6" x 9"
Designed for Adrienne L. Burk and the UBC press, with this cover they really wanted to focus on the image and keep things extremely clean and simple. Abstract: "Three monuments in Vancouver, British Columbia, located closely in time and geography and all concerning violence, were created not by one, but rather by three separate groups of advocates. Given that in each case the advocates were drawn from the socially marginalized, it would seem logical that the groups would have had to work together to accomplish something as complex as gaining access to public space with the permanence of monuments. But instead, a close examination of the development and uses of these three monuments reveals the profundity of several mechanisms of social distance. Those noted here include (a) the intransigence of structures of social exclusion, (b) the dispossession caused by the legacy of colonialism, and (c) the nature of trauma."
