Super Bowl 2014 Host Committee logo design
Source Communications commissioned me to design the logo for the Super Bowl 2014 Host Committee campaign. Super Bowl 2014 will be held in New York–New Jersey in the MetLife (Meadowlands) Stadium. The host committee is a select group of 22 people and organizations who help organize the many different aspects of hosting an event of this scale. When the logo and campaign was completed, there was a press release in late September in New York City where all the major news organizations reported on the campaign. Included in the reporting was an analysis of the logo. It was a lot of fun to read the reporting, especially when it included critiques of the logo! Google "Super Bowl 2014 logo"
PAGEPLANE, Chuck Green
I came across Chuck Green's blog called PAGEPLANE recently. He had posted an item about me and as I was checking it out, I read other posts and was surprised I hadn't heard of his blog already. I found it to be a great resource for all folks in and around the design and visual communications industry. Really interesting posts of people doing inspiring work. If you are not familiar with it, he's been reporting for nearly six years. Thank you Chuck, excellent work! Be sure to check it out: http://www.pageplane.com

Hands off! Or on?
A full page editorial feature image about the growth of technology and the global economy.
The economy then and now
While doing a search, I came across this image which I did for US News & World Report in 2000 at the height of the tech economy. The article reported on the changes and challenges due to rapidly changing technologies. Ironic that it was done just before the tech market crash considering that we are in dangerous economic times again.

Radio City Christmas Spectacular
Who remembers Crazy Eddie's "Christmas in August" commercials? I grew up with them when I was young. Well I guess he wasn't so crazy after all because starting this August, Christmas is being advertised all over Times Square - The Radio City Christmas Spectacular that is. Putting a show on this grand is a big undertaking. The branding for the show begins a year in advance. I had the privilege of working with Jay Cooper and the folks over at SpotCo, the agency working with MSG (owners of Radio City), to create this year's logo. The preliminary design process and review was intense and produced some good work. Hopefully in future posts I will share some of the alternates

Pearson Connected Mathematics covers
Recently I came across this image which is a component of one of the illustrations I did for a series of math textbook covers for Pearson not to long ago. I had forgotten about it and found it as I was doing a search. I thought it would be fun to post since it reminds me of the days at amusement parks during the summer. I live pretty close to one and have spent my share of time in the bumper cars. Anyone venture an educated guess as to what the equation means?

The Stiletto 500
Big Brothers Big Sisters of New Hampshire needed an attention getting poster image for a fundraising event where all the participants will run a foot race wearing ultra high heel stilettos. Turning a stiletto into a pumped up (pun intended) race car was great fun! Another fun collaboration with Creative Director Marty Lapham of Fin Brand Positioning.
Pensions & Investments
I love marrying the classical genres with a modern textural look. This cover for an annual issue called the P&I 1000 does just that. Click on the image to get a closer look!
Rural Telecom
Ferro + Ferro commissioned a cover for Rural Telecom magazine about Smart Grids that connect technologies and communications for homes and businesses in rural areas. Above is the final image, below are rough sketches prepared in development of the idea.
State Farm
A classic insignia design with a modern message. One of a series of exploratory designs for a proposed State Farm auto insurance campaign.
Library Journal
A bit of a different typographic approach, this special issue cover for Library Journal displays the title to reflect features about new landmark libraries that are noted for design, sustainable and green technologies incorporated into their architecture
Northrup Grumman
How many ways can you knock out a missile? Northrup Grumman commissioned me to illustrate their complex missile defense system from ground ops to missile kill. It's an amazing orchestration of technologies. I chose a new way to portray the entire battlefield from missile command to satellites and how they communicate with each other. Rather than a traditional landscape, I merged the idea with an infographic approach showing land, sea, air and space as layers in ascending order and distance from the command center. Blue lines represent communications with the command center, green represents communication with members of the battlefield, red represents the sources which could perform the resulting enemy missile kill. The image is used as a primary display in major tradeshows, technology animations, and print collateral.
