The opening credits to the 4th annual Typophile Film Festival continue to rake in the awards. Currently it is a finalist for ADAA and an Honorable Mention in the I.D. Student Design Review.

one show…

A couple nights ago Jeremy Ames, Micah Anderson, and I went to the Design One Show at the Chelsea Art Museum to receive a “Silver Pencil” for ours and other’s work on the Typophile Film Festival Opening Credits.

I want to thank Punchcut/Typophile, Brent Barson, Eric Gillett, and Linda Sullivan for providing both the opportunity to work on the piece as well as creative direction throughout.
And also thank you’s to everyone else who spent long, long, long and often frustrating hours working on it: Sam Gray, Chris Crosby, Ashley Mackay, Archie Sessions, Joshua Kessie, and Adam Johnson.
And now, I think I am officially sick of talking about this piece. But thanks for listening to everything up to this point.

update… nyc

I’m heading to New York in the morning to attend the One Show this Tuesday. A piece that I worked on last year is up for a pencil—more on that after the event. Last week, the same piece—the opening credits to the Fourth Typophile Film Festival—won a silver cube at the Art Director’s Club. Bardhi, Ashley, and Matthew were there to receive that award. I honestly don’t fully understand exactly what these recognitions mean, but I hear it’s something to be proud of.

Anyways…
In preparation I put together a little portfolio book to show around. I’ll post some more images of it in the near future, but for now just this sheet, pre-cut, of some of the personal work I’ve done with the New Orleans Hornets brand:


There’s a million other things I could post, but I’ll keep it brief and leave some stuff to talk about during the week. For now, I’ll just leave you with this cool shot from my last stay in the Big Apple.
