Graphex 37

Tue, 19 Aug 2008 14:01 -0500

Graphex is an annual regional design competition sponsored by the Art Directors Club of Tulsa. I was commissioned to create the look and feel of Graphex 37, based on an existing object: a doll with a light bulb for a head. For the source photography, I used natural lighting. Extensive post-production work added texture, color, and overall drama.

Stir the Silence | As the World Burns

Mon, 18 Aug 2008 08:28 -0500

Dallas metal band Stir the Silence wanted a fresh design for their debut album, "As the World Burns." While some members of the band visualized a literal representation of the album title, they were easily talked out of this once they viewed this design. The resulting artwork has visual consistency, fits the band’s musical genre, and references the album title without going into literal detail.

“Hindsight” is the third and final single from Stromkern’s critically-acclaimed album "Light It Up". For this album, a simpler, more formal presentation is in keeping with the overall soft mood and emotion of the song. The new Stromkern logo was incorporated into the design, along with elegant typography and a nearly monochromatic color scheme.
