Book Report

The last piece in this series was a cumulative report, in book format chronicling all the work done for 'Design for Democracy'. The overall format of the book was meant to be a sleek and clean design done with both black and white and color spreads. Overall, the book is seven spreads front and back, laid out in a way that is meant to tie all the projects together. Below are a few spreads from the book.

Community Spaces

As the third installment in the series of designs for the topic 'Design for Democracy', I teamed up with Liz Bayan to create two books about Community in reference to the finale of 2008 election. One book is titled 'Community' and is full of text and images as they relate to the sounds and voices we recorded in certain public spaces. The second book titled 'Spaces' has the same format as the former but is about the spaces instead of the community. It was quite interesting photograph the spaces we surveyed when there weren't any people present. Non-the-less, the book is off to print through the online publishing company LuLu. Posts of the physical copy will be made once the book arrives. For the meantime, here are some of the pages from the Community book.

 

Branding the 2008 Election

While this is a belated post, here are some photos from our branding campaign. What we did was develop an array of print based materials in order to gather up the remaining people who had registered to vote in the recent 2008 election but had not sent in their ballots. When all was said and done, we had made over 250 posters, 1,100 vinyl stickers and 900 post cards. I am also including some sketches from our campaigns logo which I developed just prior to forming a group with Sean Kesterson, Karlin Johnson, Liz Bayan and Daniel Sexton. 

Yes, this is the right place

In case you received any of these cards in the mail, YES, this is the place to post your comments.

design for democracy postcards

These are the postcard designs done for a 'Design for Democracy' project. The central theme here is board games that I felt were recognizable for people (loosely) between the ages of 18 and 25. I will upload jpgs of the physical copies once I take a run at a second pressing for additional mail outs.
