The StationPhotography | Design | Layout

The Station looks at the typography of fire stations. Photographed and

designed by myself.

The concrete floors of fire stations inspired the grey foundation of

the pages. Type was built on curved paths, similar to the unique type

structures around fire trucks. Repetition of paragraph titles represents

the flash of sirens. They’re visible for a second, disappear, and reappear

as the truck speeds by.

the pigeonBranding | Illustrations | Packaging | Publication Design

An offbeat food truck, obsessed with oddiies. The pigeon follows the traveling

circus from city to city.

the pigeon experiments with type treatments and layouts. The goal was

to create a cohesive brand that had a tool kit that could be pulled apart

and used in unique ways.

Type was used as a substitute to imagery to represent imagery. The

pigeon logo is broken in the same fashion as the illustration. Words

circle the pizza box like a chef would roll out the pizza dough. The word

“coffee” is stacked like a pile of coffee beans. An eye chart represents

how vision is blurred the more a person drinks.
