9 Surf Studios: National Engineer's Week

November 7, 2010

National Engineer's Week

Hugh Moore of Hugh Moore & Associates commissioned me to do this poster image to represent the 60th Anniversary of National Engineer's Week. It was quite a rearch and design undertaking since the image needed to cover the gamut of engineering fields, convey the anniversary as well as appeal to an audience with a wide age range

Evolution

More than ever, I find the nature of my work evolving as my clients' needs change. I am always calling on my art director past to solve increasingly nuanced visual problems that don't fit into categories or styles. I've always resisted the term 'illustration' for my work, though in the strictest sense, it is. A more appropriate term is 'image design' since I call on may varied and nontraditional means to create a visual solution. You'll see what I mean in the variety of concepts and executions as you view my posts. Feel free to comment - I'd love to hear from you!
