I’m not sure if I’ve ever shared this fact with my followers, but just incase, I will share it now. I am going to work for Pentagram. It is my dream, and there is no doubt in my mind that one day I will be able to say that I am employed by the largest independently owned design firm in the world. Hopefully after another forty years, my work will be shown in the brilliant 80 year anniversary video. This video is amazing.

Here are some drafts for a Macklemore & Ryan Lewis poster I’m working on for part of an event branding project in my word and image class. I’m liking the way these are coming out, and the Metropolis typeface is perfectly old school and elegant. By the way, I’m always on that simplicity tip.

Any preferences? I’d like some feedback.

Sometimes I see people’s work, and I am literally incapacitated.

Sitting alone in my room. Fifteen minutes of complete silence, except for me clicking of the “next” button.

After getting some requests and feed back from some of my followers, I’ve decided to post some of the graphic design work on which I am currently working. I’m going to start a design blog sometime soon, so look out for that too. Here you go:

This is a series of pieces that I am currently designing for one of my classes, and they are just about done. The series is called Last Night Was Mad Real, and it is essentially a declaration of love and tribute to my friends. It is a combination of text (based on real personal events) and photographs (of my friends) that expresses the essence of a crazy night of bonding and intoxicated foolishness. This series really makes me happy, and even though you don’t know any of my friends or any of the stories, I hope you can take some pleasure from it too. Also: black and white > everything else.
