I've been falling behind a bit on the recaps, but it's better late than never. I'm very excited to share my branding for Puffin Pediatrics. The practice was started by Dr. Matt Fradkin with a fun and unique approach to kids' medical care. Focusing on giving more time to patients, same and next-day-visits and providing a fun space for kids, Puffin Pediatrics is an absolute gem. See photos of the space right here.  I love designing for Good Luck Bread Pizza almost as much as I love eating Good Luck Bread Pizza. This entirely custom packaging was very fun to design. If you haven't tried it yet, just know that it truly lives up to its name!  Another big project that was released at the end of the year was my book on mid-century photographer Art Hupy. As an architectural photographer, Art Hupy not only documented the rise of mid-century modernism in the Pacific Northwest but unintentionally and beautifully captured the growth of the region as a whole. This new book is the first to display a curated collection from Art Hupy's vast career. Until now, the majority of his work has only been seen in newspapers and other editorial publications—most of which are long out of print. As a tireless freelancer, Hupy never considered his editorial photography as art—he considered it his work. But luckily for us, he took great pride in doing great work. This book required hours upon hours of digital retouching to make sure Hupy's photos were up to par how he himself would have expected. I took care of the entire book design, layout and research. Eugenia Woo of Historic Seattle generously wrote a foreword as well. The first printing of this book was an 8" x 10" softcover with silver foil lettering on the cover, and 162 black and white pages. As a special bonus for those purchasing the first edition, I recorded a short instrumental song that was pressed on a postcard record that plays on a turntable. The first printing is down to its last few copies. Look for the second printing coming soon.  I designed a few different prints during November and December, including a show poster for the very heavy, very good Botch and their show in New York. A turntable slipmat is a great way to spruce up your record set up. I designed this shaky coffee hand just for that purpose. Get one here.  Affiche Studio & Gallery does wonderful work restoring posters in Portland. I created some updated branding for 'em to spruce things up. See photos of the restoration process here as well.  To finish things off, my favorite photos from the end of the year! |
