Challenge:

With another bridal shop right across the street, the goal was

choice for brides.

Solution:

we gave a distinctive style
to this logo while keeping
the project within budget.

Challenge:

To update the cover of this
classic by one of the pioneers
of energetic alignment and
bodywork therapy.

Solution:

Combining an illustration of the seven segments of body armor
with bold typography conveys the profound nature of the subject matter. We juxtaposed solid blocks with a delicate line drawing of the human figure to dramatize the contrast between body armor and free-flowing energy.

Challenge:

To develop a cover to convey
the book’s theme: that a series
of photographs can translate
into the visual equivalent of
a multi-part symphony.

Solution:

An unexpected palette of chartreuse and gray adds richness to the sepia images. This cover idea was presented; however, the author preferred his own title, “Orchestrating Icons.”
