50 Short Movies About Ben Turney
50 Short Movies About Ben Turney
For my friend's 50th birthday, we invited friends and family to create short movies about him. I gathered the movie clips, edited them into a feature-length film, designed the poster, and helped MC the event. For the poster, we used our friend's favorite photo of himself, combined with a test card image. Our friend is a sound recordist for videos and films, and the test card reflects his creative world. The artsy type treatment and limited black-and-white palette echo his love of cinema. He loved the event, the movies, and the poster. Several attendees took home free poster copies.

Duke University Scholars Program: poster for an interdisciplinary event
I met with the customer and received the list of speakers, topics, and related details. The customer helpfully explained the concept of (In)dependence and how disparate fields can relate. This triggered my imagination, and I sketched out intersecting shapes and colors. The customer approved a draft sketch, and I produced the final file (which still allowed for text changes before printing). The customer and her colleagues were quite pleased and framed a copy in their office. The poster was used online and in printed format.

I researched old maps, architectural drawings, walked the campus, and took lots of notes. The final map (PDF) was viewable online and could be printed. The customer was very pleased with the final product.

I created ads for Fluevog shoes contests, and the two pieces below were finalists. I used the contest as a way to experiment and to inspire my other art.
