WG News & Arts

WG News & Arts

I have been art directing and designing WG News & Arts, a monthly publication in Brooklyn. While keeping the style conventions of the original designers, my first task from the editorial department was to transition the layout from a broadsheet to a tabloid and in doing so have a bit more fun with the features. This is an ongoing and hopefully evolving project.

Update No. 1

Peter — Sat, 19 Jun 2010 23:36:25 +0000

This site initially started as a way to edit WordPress themes, specifically Sandbox, but soon became a database of work I was doing outside of the GHava NY office. I was never working off mockups but tweaking here and there, which is not my preferred method of designing for the screen. The site was also a convenient place to test web technologies like CSS3, WP plugins and dynamic rendered typography. Now that WordPress 3 has been released, it maybe an appropriate time to revisit the site from scratch, choose not to use WordPress or not have a website at all. Or not worry about the presentation, use Sandbox straight out of the box and concentrate on the content, including additional writing.

Brown & Jackson

Logo and stationery suite for a small interior and space design office. Shown below are an alternative word mark and optional graphic marks. Both Brown & Jackson are designers so I kept the lock-up and usage rules loose.

Hamacide

Yusuke Hama’s new project under his Hamacide moniker that in addition to sounding dangerous also translates to “by the shore”. Since initially the music release is digital only I treated the illustrations by photographing them off the monitor and layering, to emphasize their lifespan as being entirely on screen. Elements of the cover also carry thru to the website and can be expanded upon for future videos, remixes packages, etc.

Cameron Martin website

Cameron’s work is part painting, part photography and part printing making. His palette is often a small range of grey resulting in low contrast images whose impact on the eye vary immensely depending on the ambient light. The WordPress enabled site is super simple with the exception of the “splash” page whose background cycles through a range of grey.
