Package Design
Rhode Island School of Design, 2008
CD package design for OHM, a compilation CD of early experimental music. This was a short-term RISD project led by Cliff Stoltz, to provide CD graphics, package sleeve template, materials and graphics, as well interior booklet, for one CD. Inspired by the music itself (on repeat, while designing) I chose to display my design process of constructing the sleeve die line and simultaneously testing my typography, on the final product. Ultimately the overprinting was staged to reflect the haphazard typography of testing for size and ink coverage, on the final product so that it could in fact be read and used.Packaging2011 -

Book Design
Rhode Island School of Design, 2007
Concept and design for a group of essays from El Lissitzky, Dan Friedman and Beatrice Ward. Weaving together essays from three writers on typography, the design of this book has a non-linear organization, much like a visual essay. Common themes that the three artists faced, especially across generational and technological differences, helped organize the essays in relation to one another throughout the book.Editorial DesignRISD 2008 -

It is based on the typeface Nobel, with slight modifications.Branding2011 -
