On the Tube

We were asked to design a series of icons for a client's internal television system. Each icon 

was to be a corner screen identifier that would be used for various holidays, events, etc. 

From the beginning, a round cornered rectangle with the client's initials was used to help 

with visual consistency from one icon to the next. Whenever workable, some portion of 

the image was designed to break out of the basic frame.

Finally, the client wanted a special larger icon developed for the 4th of July.

The Tattoo Blues

A poster for an upcoming gig at Slowdown featuring Blue Bird. Emerging out of 

the indie music hot-bed of Omaha, Nebraska, Blue Bird's songs feature lush 

harmonies and a depth of diverse musicality. 

Our design relies on depth created by multiple layers and textures. 

It is subtle with a hint of mystery. Although the letter forms on this poster remain 

unmodified, precise kerning is a must to pull off the minimalist look we wanted.

I Got Nada(s)

The Nadas formed in Ames, Iowa in 1995. This indie rock outfit has been called 

"the best college band you've never heard of". This is our ode to the "love gone bad" 

theme that runs through many of their songs such as "Dodged a Bullet". 

Better move quick!

Puppets Being Bad

This gig poster recently won a Bronze Award at the AIGA/Nebraska "The Show 20". 

Its bold design relies on eye-catching imagery and color with a heavy dose of symbolism. 

The Solution!

What do you get when you take your client's new tag line, add the words that the tag line 

stands for and temper that with a desire for a concise, colorful and easy to use result? 

You get this functional, eye-catching icon for a new values roll-out program.

Make Them Want It!

Whether in print or online, grabbing attention with an eye-catching masthead

is a great first step towards increased readership.

The Same But Different

A fresh take on a recognizable icon.
