Ecological Guide to Paper - Year One


The Ecological Guide to Paper was created back when I was at Celery Design Collaborative. It started as a simple Arbor Day promotional. But as we developed the idea we wanted to make it more useful...more ecological. Therefore, in addition to the  artwork on the front, we added information on papers that are most environmentally-friendly on the back.

Second Harvest Public Art Project





Second Harvest of Wisconsin sent out a call for entries for a public art project to celebrate their 25 years of providing food for Milwaukee families. Public art's objective is to communicate a message to the community. The message can be poetic or political. Harmonious or dissonant. Or all of the above. Second Harvest is an action-oriented organization. It provides. It feeds. Therefore, it seemed logical that a public art project from Second Harvest have a functional value and an aesthetic one. As a beacon of celebration, a symbol of growth, an oasis, and a gathering table, we felt it necessary that this project communicate the message that the organization has been broadcasting all these years.

APPROVED: Asian Paper Pulp Sustainability Report




So the last post on this project involved the rejected concept. I wanted to follow up with the design direction that they approved. Again, this was with my friends at Celery Design Collaborative.

Sea Monster Exhibit (More Images)







I posted some information on the Sea Monster Exhibit for the Oceanario de Lisboa. But I realized after looking over the artwork there were more images that I wanted to post. So here they are.

Quad/Direct Process Flow Diagram


This was a fun diagram to illustrate. Quad/Graphics expanded their service offering that became known as Quad/Direct. As a new service offering Quad/Direct needed a high-level illustration that quickly and clearly communicated the services they offered and the steps in the process. The diagram proved to be so successful that these types of narrative diagrams became a standard tool for Quad/Graphics' marketing and communications.

REJECTED: Asian Paper Pulp Cover




The goal for this APP Sustainability Report was to communicate their connection to the environment, their business goals and the local communities. Making Connections was a theme they wanted to explore. The idea for this concept was to die cut a series of holes that "connects the dots" to make the title. The die cut title would give a peek to the artwork on the inside. The collage, of course, uses three images that represent environment, business and community.


One Ocean Exhibit for The Oceanario de Lisboa



A quick little exhibit in collaboration with cosestudi in Massachusetts. The idea of the exhibit is the oceans are actually one large body of water. The oceans and seas are all human constructions. The large mural of people from different countries standing by the ocean supports this concept.

2006 Feed Your Soul Poster

   

This was completed a little while ago but I completely forgot to post it until now. These are posters for a local Milwaukee art auction. A fun little project. I created the woman illustration first but thought it had such a feminine tone that I should balance the scales.
