My second series of screen printed poster-wrapped blocks is complete, and will soon be distributed to Art*o*Mat machines around the country.

Photographs of the individual pieces will be up on my website soon, in the meantime below are some photos of Series 2. For more about Series 1, watch this video or check out these previous posts about my acceptance to the  program and my pieces starting to show-up in machines.

One is about the SoMa neighborhood in San Francisco, the other about the Ashby Station neighborhood in Berkeley. On both of these features I collaborated with writer and good friend, Jennifer Liss who researched and wrote the stories.

Attack! offers nationwide event staffing, field support, and guerrilla services focused on developing successful brand experiences. One of the first projects I did with them was to re-design the logo and visual identity by creating the Sumo silhouette. More recently I’ve designed some ads and a media kit for them…

The following advertisement will appear on the back cover of Event Marketer Magazine for the duration of 2010.

This animated banner is being served-up on the home page of Event Marketer Magazine online. View it below or visit www.eventmarketer.com to see it live.

And last year I designed this media kit for Attack!

The team at Attack! are tireless innovators and great collaborators.  Next-up: the Attack! website.  Stay tuned…

The facelift employs a Wordpress theme called Modern-Clix. I subscribe to a “less is more” attitude when it comes to design, and after using a basic Wordpress template to get the blog off the ground it was time to make a change, switch themes, get nerdy, and fool with some code. The result is a cleaner, simpler layout that uses the Golden Rectangle principle, an aesthetically pleasing proportion favored by designers.

What I like: The simplicity of the theme lets the typography sing.  The horizontal lines are quiet yet effective. It is spare but has a solid structure.  It is VT’s new home.
