Babes with Blades Theatre, 2008. Concept, Art Direction, Photo-composite
As part of their playwriting competition, “Joining Sword and Pen,” playwrights use a painting as the inspiration for a new work. I created this photocomposite (left) of the painting “Duelo de Mujeres” by Jusepe Ribera (right). This campaign included posters, postcards, large format advertising, and various web banners.
Polarity Ensemble Theatre Books, 2009. Concept, Layout, Design, Photocomposite
I created a number of different concepts for the book cover and later for the poster design based on my reading of the script, conversations with the client about their production, and went through multiple iterations. The final choice was the comic-style composite for the book design and the horror-themed paper airplane for the print advertising campaign.

Cypher Services, 2005. Concept, Art Direction, Copywriting, Typography
