Designing a highly visible logo for this book (by Joe Casey and Ian MacEwan) was essential since the title is a bit tricky to remember! At the same time the character needed to dominate as the cover is the first introduction to her, and she’s a hell of a hero. Centering the logo and allowing it to fill the space made it dominate, and filing it with the line art helped the artwork to retain prominence. Crisp, clean, uncompromising letterforms make this a logo which speaks to the hard edges of the story and the hero depicted.

An atmospheric logo to evoke the YA horror story contained within, designed to be as communicative of the promised chills and thrills with or without accompanying cover art.

Graphic design of series of greeting cards created from a collection of drawings by established artist ;Justin Hall. Calling his series “Dadville”, Hall’s brief called for a unifying concept, something stylistically to convey the idea of saucy cards sent from a vacation. By adding a weathered, aged look and typography that gave a nod to the disposable seaside postcards of the last century these became one collection. The cards are published by and available from Silver Sprocket.

A cover for Kim Krizan’s book about the archives of Anais Nin, designed using this little snapshot of her found in the very same archives. Using bold, warm colors the intimacy of the photo is emphasized and invites the reader in. Keeping the title large makes it legible even when displayed online as a thumbnail, while the delicacy of the line weight means the type doesn’t dominate the imagery but allows it to shine.

2018
This genre book (by Joe Casey and Benjamin Marra, published by Image Comics) needed a highly stylized cover treatment, influenced by the splashy posters of ‘70’s exploitation movies and kung-fu comic books. Taking the crucifix as a template, the inset artwork (by Benjamin Marra) has a bold color palette and a weathered treatment to offset it from the stark yellow background. Designed to aggressively introduce the tone of the book to new readers, it practically yells from the shelf.
2018
Logo and book cover (with art by Ulisses Farinas and color by Melody Often) published by Image Comics). Creating a logo that incorporated the styel of well known metal bands took time, but it was worth it! This punchy logo includes echoes of the Motley Crue logo, the Van Halen logo, the Metallica logo and even Ozzy Osborne’s logo. Then taking interior art from a splash page to serve as an introduction to the characters meant no special art was required for the cover. A fun quick cover to complement a logo designed to dominate.
2015
Book cover (with art by Darick Robertson), published by Black Mask Studio, by Adam Egypt and Darick Roberston). A science fiction comic book, this compilation was designed specifically to introduce a new readership to the series. Contained in one book, the cover design utilizes interior art originally created for a double page spread. By re-using this as a monochrome image the intense detail of the futuristic city is revealed. Simultaneously, the two stars of the book (the protagonist and his weapon) are highlighted with basic icons created to float in the negative space and contradict the insanity of the detailed art.
2015
Logo, cover and layout design, typography, photography, and interstitial page designs for the third and final compilation of the comic book "Gødland" (published by Image Comics, by Joe Casey and Tom Scioli). Designing the third volume in a series of premium compilations meant creating a design that not only worked to present the story clearly, but also a design that would work with the existing book designs. Using the first two volumes to create a basic style guide, I was able to organize information and combine a surprising array of new visual elements to create an elegant, cohesive package for collectors of the series.
2015
Logo and book cover (with inset art by Paul Maybury, published by Image Comics, by Joe Casey and Paul Maybury). The cover emulates an ornate, antique, leather-bound tome, while the logo is intended to evoke the brash, humorous nature of the story inside.

Logo, cover collage and layout design for the compilation of the 12-issue comic book "The Bounce" (published by Image Comics, by Joe Casey, David Messina, and Sonia Harris).
