RandomAnime Narrator’s Screen (May 2004, Photoshop, Hash Animation:Master)

I did the color layout for Jay Giovannettone’s anime-inspired line art in this commission for Infernal Funhouse Publishing’s roleplaying game. Coloring at 600ppi resolution taxed my then-current computer to the limit – the layered source files spanned four CDs.

Nekocon 7 and 8 Websites (2004-2005; HTML, PHP)

I was proud to support the Japanese animation convention Nekocon as graphic designer during its 7th and 8th years. The websites were continually updated as annual convention dates approached. Artwork for the website was provided by Nekocon guest artists and volunteers. (Pictured to right are works by Danny Valentini, above, and Shadra D, below)

Nine Stitches Video Cover (Oct ‘97; Pen & ink, Photoshop)

One of our first projects in digital photography involved mocking up a videotape clamshell case using the perspective tool. Nine Stitches was a comic I had been working on for the school paper at the time.

Densha De (May ‘00; Illustrator)

We were asked to create a poster advertising our senior exhibitions. The motivation behind this poster was that, before going to Japan, I’d never been on a train before. The train was a metaphor, at least to me, of a new adventure - much like the adventure I was about to embark upon after graduation.

Aquariums

NC Aquariums Ads (Mar ‘98; Prismacolor Markers)

One of our first projects in Typography class was to lay out a (fictional) ad campaign for a (non-fictional) North Carolina tourism site. I’d picked the NC Aquariums, and these were three marker comps drawn for the ad campaign.

Warplanes (Nov ‘96, Pen & ink, CorelDRAW)

In my first Communication Arts class, we had to design a wayfinding system to help patrons find their way around a museum installation. Phase 1, pictured here, was to design a set of four related sections of a installation. Phase 2 was to put these images into context, with a 1/4 scale mockup of the actual signage.
