rejects2

Rejected, but loved.


This little reject was one of my personal favorites. This was the design of a website for a film being shot here in Pittsburgh about the Allegheny Observatory. This is a really interesting subject matter and I can't wait to see the film. Check out the link to see what the site actually turned out like... but here is my reject to view. ;)

The concept for this was to take the historic nature of the Observatory and make it like you were traveling through the journal of John Brashear to explore the nooks and cranies of history. Alas, this was too much of a historic approach seeing as the Observatory is still used today and has very modern research underway.

Rejects


Rejected, but loved.

I have decided that I would post some of my favorites that never actually made the cut. The first in this series is a little typography piece that I did last year for the Pittsburgh Film Office Academy awards gala. I will post the option that they actually did choose for this year too! But first... here's my reject.

I wanted this to be as fancy as can be. Because this party is black tie with a little bit of fun splashed in. So I made it extra glitzy... sort of like, if Paris Hilton or Maddona had an acid trip... it would look like this! Enjoy!

LOVE


I made this poster for my good friends who are getting married in August. I thought the quote was perfect for them and the illustration didn't turn out too bad either. Check it out.

EL TEN ELEVEN




I just finished a flyer for one of my favorite bands EL TEN ELVEN. They are so good, and after seeing them play in July, I was stoked to hear about them coming back in November! So I asked Brad (flash) from Opus One, who does the booking for The Brillobox if I could make a flyer for this oh so fun band! And, he agreed!

So here it is, an excuse to have fun with hand lettering and some favorite colors of mine. You should check out the show.. on Saturday November 29th. It will be a good one!

2008-2009 Addy® Awards Materials




Over at Giant Ideas, The Pittsburgh Advertising Federation has asked us to create the promotional materials for the 2008-2009 Addy® Awards. This years event is being held at the Carnegie Music Hall again, and it promises to be a great event. After a great deal of brainstorming and some pretty cool collaboration with-in the giant team, (thanks Marc, Mo and Bryan!) and great writing from Mike Guinta over at Garrison Hughes we came up with a movie poster theme for the event, and all of the materials will be presented in the form of a movie poster! I think there was even some talk of coming up with a little trailer... but that might still be up in the air. Anyways, here is what the "Call for entries" looks like. It just went out last week.
