Work Sample: FOCUS

Phillips Plastics Corporation was kind enough to ask me to design their November issue of FOCUS, their monthly employee news magazine. I love working on these projects because they're very fast-paced, in-depth and require a lot of thought. The company knew that the issue was going to be called "Next," so as to talk about things that were coming up in the future of the business.

Below are a few sample layouts of the piece I worked on. There were 16 pages to design in all, but I've chosen a few of my favorites. Click the image for a larger view.

Awesome Holiday Graphics

Sorry I haven't written lately! My client work has been keeping me either slaving away at my desk or taking a momentary break to grab a quick latte. On my trips to the local Caribou Coffee, I continuously find myself admiring their holiday graphic design. Their cups are sprinkled with snowflakes created from the caribou antlers in their logo; such a subtle but brilliant idea. I love the color scheme as well.




I also really like the cleanliness of the designs. They're very classic and simple, while incorporating slightly retro design elements that are very trendy right now. What do you think?
