Mon-Non Font

Mon-Non is a monospaced sans-serif (which is where the name comes from) font that I designed—just because I had not created a font before. It was definitely interesting and I fully plan on creating something more refined and usable. However in the meantime, you are free to download, use, and abuse this font in any way you see fit. I have provided the download link below. It was designed with the intention of having images placed inside of the letters—that is why it is so blocky. Enjoy.

Tie, Please.

Just another blog posting wishing that someone will make an item so that I can buy it, wear it, and consider myself happy. That is all.

ASME

Jordan Hadley and I had the opportunity to execute his design celebrating the 2012 ASME nominations that Condé Nast has pulled in. We just taped out the anamorphic distortion—the painters are coming in to finish up the work. The design spans down a 60′ long hallway in the Times Square Condé Nast building.

Condé Nast Integrated Logo

Condé Nast’s Integrated Marketing department needed a logo. The challenge was to create a logo that paired well with the (already established) Studio logo—both Studio and Integrated are part of the same department and needed to be unified.

My solution used the similar facets and dimensionality—not much else to say about this one. The other one was an “S” for studio and this one is an “I” for integrated…it’s just that deep! Below are just a few of the explored directions—+10 points to whichever house can guess which one is my favorite!

Video Installation (Little Girls Dying)

In college I took 3d Design. One of our projects was to create a project that included light and had to be created for less than $10. I created a video installation. I hadn’t really done anything with video before, so I thought it would be an interesting challenge. This was the result.

I first set out on finding a television for the project. Goodwill had small TVs for $13, but that would be cheating, luckily the first Saturday of every month everything is half off! I got a book from McKays, outside their store they have a freebie bin. Sound was delivered from a set of speakers I freecycled at an electronics recycling facility. The video was taken while visiting friends in Birmingham—we were sitting outside a restaurant, and were were positioned next to these annoying shits. I wanted to capture their grating happiness, but my camera died after 5 seconds of recording. Working with what I had, I slowed down the video, looped it, added grain and warping sounds. 10 minutes later my “masterpiece” was born. The actual installation was in my school’s photo studio because it was the only area that I could completely black out, it was suspended from the ceiling in the corner and the volume was set very high.

Enjoy.

Figure Drawing

I have never been that fond of drawing. I present to you a gesture drawing (~2-3 minutes). Enjoy.

ParkerSans

This was a Typography 1 project. I created a physical typeface out of polaroids. Each picture has an implied letter—some are a lot stronger than others—but when laid out it becomes very legible. I have included a download with all of the letters, feel free to use it at will. I plan on updating this project further
in the future.
Stay tuned.

Link Macbook Decal

So, I decided to join play with the outside of my Macbook a bit. As many many know, I am retro video game nerd—so this seemed like one of the most obvious choices.
I am providing the file so that we can be nerds together! This is sized for the 13.3″ Macbook Pros—I recommend using this if you have a clear case on the outside of your computer (as you all should). Just print it out and slide it under your cover.

Rooftop Access

We finally decided to test our rooftop access—warning labels and alarms be damned! We found a large white wall on our neighbors roof—next step projector and summer films on the roof! Since our apartment is on the top floor it makes power easily accessible and things like this all the more possible.

Tom Selleck’s ‘stache stash!

If you know me, then you know the only thing I love more than homonyms is Tom Selleck’s mustache , so you can only imagine how much I love this! Although, I really wanted this to be an iPhone application, I can’t program in Objective-C and it would definitely not get approved by the App Store. However that didn’t stop me from making it at all!
There are a few ways to get this onto your phone, the easiest being to visit this page from Safari on your iPhone—press and hold down on the image and it will prompt you to save the images to your Camera Roll. Next, bring the saved images up on your phone, turn it sideways and hold it to your face! Like so…

Now you can experience a rollercoaster of emotions through
the ‘stache of Tom Selleck.

Happy

Sad

Amused
