Haunted wRECk Poster - This is a poster design I did for the Kent State Recreation center's annual Halloween event hosted for children in the community.

Since the event is directed at children, I found this to be the best approach.

The problem was working through all of these restrictions while creating a layout that worked well and showed a since of hierarchy.

Dollar Bill Layout - This is the first page of a 3 part magazine layout project. This first page was to be a type only layout. The headline texture was done by hand. I printed the headline first and then destroyed it by crumbling it and attacking it with an eraser to convey the look of a dollar bill.

Tom Ford - Book Design - These are not the highest quality photos of this project. I do have a high quality pdf available upon request but the multiple page pdf is not supported by coroflot. This is an 8 spread book completely designed by me.

It was going to be used for promoting the Farmers Market throughout downtown. Though this was not the final poster, I thought it was worth sharing. It mashes together the type heaviness of the other 2.
