Postcard - Postcard design signaling my Georgia upbringing with subtle hints of subversion, because of the fact I'm not too fond of living there anymore.

SFSIG Flyer - A flyer for one of the only film screenings of the direct-to-dvd movie Starship Troopers 2 with the director and visual effects guru Phil Tippett to be held in San Francisco. The film motif was used throughout to highlight the fact that this is the only chance to see the movie projected in a theatre and have your DVD autographed.
Self Portrait - The idea of self left my mind sufficiently boggled. I tried approaching it from different angles and always ended up going WAY out there and non-sensical. So I just decided to portray my frustration at the moment I was creating. Again, natural systems are at play here but much more loosely this time. The yellow boxes are replicants of Asian specific DNA pairings, repeated and compacted. The illustration inside one of the circles is the remnant of a previous attempt to sculpt myself out of light paths. There's a lot going on here, so stay with me. The map is obviously where I've lived, but there's a progression. Left to right. My aspirations for a more meaningful relationship with my cultural identity. Deleted sections of the map are areas I have no interest in. 0.1m3 is my physical volume. During my musings on identity I got frustrated and went for the very direct empirical data on existence - physical volume. Based on this measurement, I was able to extrapolate relationships between body parts and their volume. I used these numerical relationships in determining layout and scale of major elements of the design. For instance - the circle with the light swirls (my head) is exactly 1.1 times the scale of my torso (the map). The color progressions are pretty obvious, and speak loudly about my issues with identifying ethnic and cultural groups. The circle line patterns are crude representations of synaptic triggering patterns in the brain during extreme duress, which I felt was apt here. Overall a fragmented design that touches on major personality traits but doesn't explore them very much. Compositionally bottom heavy for both physical and emotional levity. Enjoy
TennisForKids.org Promotional Book - Promotional book for TennisForKids.org designed to inform the public about the dangers of juvenile delinquency, and with TennisForKids.org as a possible solution to help curb delinquency and anti-social behavior. Color progression to intensify severity of information while climaxing with TFK as the solution to potential sponsors.

DVD Redesign - Redesigned because the existing 10th Anniversary DVD cover does not do the film justice. Timelessness and the fantastical mood of the film inspired the "lost-tome" feel.
