PHILLY FALL PREVIEW

The Philly Inquirer moved their HQ to a new location, the former Strawbridge & Clothier department store building. In a nod to their new home they wanted an illustration for the Fall Arts Preview that felt like a department store from back in the day.
I'm super pleased with how this came out. It was a nice way to start a Sunday.

They were even kind enough to include a bio.

And all the elements were broken out into little headers for the different features.

Thanks to Sterling Chen and everyone else for a fine design job.

And they also had me create some online elements so you could "shop the store" online.

You can check that out here.

HAPPY JUNE

It's official. Summer is here. I'm currently recovering from the first major 3 day cookout weekend. This piece is in the current Philadelphia Magazine.  Really nice design interaction with the type from AD Jesse Southerland.
Free surprise poster to the first person who can name all  Philly sites and references in this piece. I'll give you a hint, there are fourteen.

ZOOM

Just before the holiday I did a quick spot for Philadelphia Magazine. It was an article on using existing Amtrack tracks for a train that would take people to the zoo. I was kind of hoping they would use the gorilla contemplating the train car ala a friendly King Kong, but I'm happy with the way it came out.
Thanks to AD's Jesse Southerland and Andy Zahn for a fun assignment.
