Here’s my first attempt at building a website from the ground up. I approached the multi-talented Adrian Prohaska offering to re-craft his music portfolio site. He agreed. I’ve only been dabbling in interactive work for about 6 months but I wanted to take this chance to design and code a simple and elegant site that would show off Adrian’s work and my own rudimentary coding skills.

The site boasts of: no flash, a little javascript, html5 custom typography, a Tumblr account, and of course, the music of Adrian Prohaska. Take a look: AdrianProhaska.com

I helped craft the new Sony PIIQ Headphones Website design. I didn’t do the majority of the design, but I did -ahem- conceptualize the original stripped down ‘real’ hand models look. That along with explore many many creative avenues as the site was honed down to it’s final state. Here’s a fun type exploration I did, though pretty obvious it wouldn’t make the final cut—I still love this sorta thing (obviously).

I just finished these illustrations and type treatments for the 2010 SIGG Catalog. Well. I like them quite a bit. It was an interesting chance to work with a 100+ year old brand and push the existing brand standards beyond the norm. Client work for Duncan/Channon.

A campaign of posters commissioned by Plan: Norway. The text reads:

In many places girls are seen as less worth than boys. They have less education, less food, are often forced marriage at a young age, gender dismembered and raped. Where children have it bad girls have it worst.

This is in strong contrast to who contributes the most later in life. By helping a girl she will only use 10% of what she earns for herself. The rest she will share with family and community. Boys, however, use 60-70% themselves. This is fact, and one of the reasons why we in the Plan through many years, has had extra focus on girls. Plan takes no political or religious positions and jobs for children’s rights, but in many countries it seems that they have forgotten that girls are children. Children that is profitable to focus on. Go into plan-norge.no and find out more about why girls are worth more than boys!

This was a super fun project I did with Nemo and Jeff Bartel.

A little zine of I Sing The Body Electric made comparing Walt Whitman’s original 1855 version with the 1891-92 version a la type treatments. I also created a custom typeface based on Akzidenz Grotesque. download it here or email me and we’ll trade a real copy via mail.

My friend Jason, owns the greatest comic shop on earth, Floating World Comics. I’m not kidding. It is the perfect combination of zines, art books, Marvel/DC style comics, and small press comics.

For the 3rd year in a row he’ll be curating and hosting the popular Floating World Animation Festival. Every year, FWAF showcases the best in new experimental animation. I predict grand things for #3.

Here’s the color and the B/W:

My Friend Scott is a programmer. He said to me, “Drew I need a business card.” And then he let me make whatever I wanted. So I thought of him contemplating a million lines of code. And at the same time I thought of these old IBM punch cards (from a computer the size of a house) my grandpa had in his basement. So this is what happened. and then I made a website for him too.

These are some wine labels developed for this fantastic wine out of Australia. Client work for the Leopold Ketel & Partners.
