The Wolf Book, designed in 1990
____
In first grade, our teacher assigned us a project. Each student was assigned an animal, and our task was to research that animal. We compiled our research into a short, ten page book. The animal I chose was the Mongolian wild horse, and the experience was a blast. I absolutely loved the process of researching, drawing pictures and maps, and ending up with a designed object.
A few months later, during the summer of 1990, I decided to make another book about one of my favorite animals, the wolf. I spent several weeks photocopying pages from National Geographic World magazine, redrawing maps and diagrams, filling pages with some very bizarre editorial drawings, and typing paragraphs on an ancient word processor. The finished pages were then comb-bound at my father's office.
While designing my recent book, Forgetting Oildorado, I recalled the process of making The Wolf Book. I travelled to my parents house where the book resided, and flipped through it for the first time in well over a decade. It's fascinating to revisit something that was once so cherished, and to see the striking parallels between something that was designed at the age of 7 and the work that I'm currently producing.
When I made this book, I had no idea that I'd end up a graphic designer. But it seems that from a very early age, I was -- unknowingly -- well on my way.

Unbeknownst to many, Los Angeles has served as one of the most important oil provinces on the planet. From the initial discoveries near the turn of the 20th century, through the roaring 1920s, and into the present, oil has often guided and defined the development of the city. What's interesting, however, is that this fact is so often eclipsed by Los Angeles' well-documented histories as a center of film, entertainment, boosterism and agriculture. Forgetting Oildorado excavates the city's rich oil history, examines the slow decline of the local industry, and uncovers many of the active oil fields that lie hidden in plain sight, in the very midst of this teeming city.
This 120-page book includes text based upon Frank Ruchala Jr.'s monumental examination of Los Angeles' oil history, oiLA, with historical imagery sourced from Early California Oil by Kenny Franks and Paul Lambert. All other photography was shot by me, using a combination of Digital SLR, 35mm SLR, Medium Format Holga, and 35mm Lomo cameras.

Discovered a couple of designs I did a while back for a book cover design competition.
Really enjoyed doing something different from the web or conventional illustration. Was great to work in the constraints of the format.

O concurso arquia/próxima, organizado pola Fundación Caja de Arquitectos, ten como finalidade dar apoio e difusión aos arquitectos do estado nos primeiros dez anos de exercicio profesional.
O encargo requería dar identidade gráfica ao concurso e ao foro arquia/próxima do ano 2012, titulado “Nuevos Formatos”. Os soportes que era preciso deseñar eran: un cartel, un políptico e un catálogo físico e dixital (web) coas obras recoñecidas.
Desde o inicio do proxecto consideramos a relación entre os soportes en base a unha idea e un concepto máis que mediante a aplicación constante dunha gráfica determinada. Coas cores corporativas e co formato do catálogo en papel xa determinados, comezamos a indagar sobre a finalidade do concurso: a visibilidade e promoción dos estudios de arquitectos novos. Con ese obxectivo en mente, e tendo sempre presente o título de 'Nuevos Formatos', pensamos nos fanzines, publicacións autoeditadas moi comúns no mundo da arquitectura desde os anos 60, como base da identidade do concurso, relacionando, a través dese formato, os seus distintos soportes.
Por outra banda, coa intención de comunicar o desgaste que leva consigo o concepto de 'Nuevo' no mundo da arquitectura e do deseño, deseñamos a identidade visual en contradición co título 'Nuevos Formatos', elaborando impresións 'analóxicas' mediante técnicas case en desuso: tipografías de madeira, diferentes plantillas, máquinas de escribir… (vimeo.com/49371560) posteriormente dixitalizadas, continuando coa lóxica da autoedición e do feito por un mesmo (DIY) do fanzine
Fanzines.
Maquetouse un fanzine para cada proxecto seleccionado no concurso (120 fanzines, 1920 páxs.). Os fanzines poden ser descargados dende a páxina do concurso como un arquivo PDF en formato A4 para despois ser impresos nunha impresora doméstica, dobrados e montados cun formato final de A5. Cada usuario pode descargar e construir os fanzines dos proxectos que lle resulten máis interesantes, creando unha colección persoal arquia/próxima 2012. Unhas instruccións de montaxe acompañan a cada pdf descargable.
Carteis e Polípticos.
Para o deseño do material de promoción e difusión do foro e do concurso deseñamos un cartel en formato A0, que dobrado, cortado e grampado construía un políptico/fanzine en formato A5. Imprimíronse tres versións diferentes de cartel segundo o método de impresión da tipografía: stencil (pochoir), plantillas de rotulación e tipografías de madeira.
Catálogo.
Seguindo a lóxica de relación entre os diferentes soportes, quixemos que o catálogo reflexase tamén a idea do fanzine. Dentro do formato xa determinado das publicacións da Fundación Caja de Arquitectos, introducimos un encarte en formato A5 para cada proxecto. En cada encarte, un código QR enlaza coa páxina do catálogo dixital (web) de arquia/próxima onde se pode consultar e ampliar a información do proxecto que aparece no propio libro, ademais de ter a posibilidade de descargar o seu fanzine específico.
Con esta estratexia, contando coas limitacións de espazo do libro e co volume de información dispoñible, o catálogo físico funciona máis como unha presentación de todos os proxectos seleccionados que despois é ampliada no catálogo dixital, onde a documentación de cada proxecto pode ser máis exhaustiva e onde é posible, ademais, incorporar outro tipo de información (videos, mapas, etc.).
Catálogo dixital.
O catálogo dixital (web) deseñouse como un respositorio de todas as obras seleccionadas (120) para que fose posible acceder á diferente información de cada proxecto (imaxes, planos, videos, mapas,…) con facilidade e de maneira áxil. Conscientemente se reduciron os elementos de interación co usuario para facer máis inmediata a navegación. A programación da web se elaborou con criterios de deseño adaptable aos diferentes dispositivos de visualización.
Trofeo.
Para recoñecer as obras premiadas, en vez de deseñar e elaborar un trofeo máis ou menos convencional, e seguindo coa lóxica de adaptabilidade de formatos entre os diferentes soportes de comunicación do premio, deseñamos unha publicación que reunía os 24 fanzines das obras candidatas. Aos autores de cada obra candidata aos premios se lle outorgou unha publicación personalizada, na que o seu fanzine foi impreso nun papel de cor amarela. O libro/trofeo funcionaba ao mesmo tempo como diploma.

Book design of AOI Images 33: Best of British Illustration 2009.
This year I worked together with Adrian Shaughnessy on the design of the Images Book and exhibition graphics. In the book we created a tighter grid with a more contemporary feel and rather than just selecting an illustration from the book to use on the cover we created a typographic design that didn't favour any one illustration style or individual and that could be experimented with in the future. We then followed these principles through to the exhibition and awards.

Typographism is a student project about the religion of typography. I wrote, designed, and hand-bound this labor of love. It features the commandments (or rules), the typographer's prayer (based on the Lord's Prayer), and the saints, named for various classic typefaces.

Coffee table book designed by Picturia Press. (www.picturiapress.com) This book chronicles the experience of Chris Morse, whose life was forever changed by the Ethiopian Selamta Family Project. Chris Morse is a Senior at Kimball Union Academy in Meriden, New Hampshire. He was awarded the 2010 International Humanitarian Award for his extraordinary efforts to enhance the lives of the children of Selamta. Through his efforts to provide Selamta with a van that will enable necessary medical care, procurement of food and clothing and opportunities for educational enrichment, as well as his mentoring and outreach activities, and for his commitment to tell the world the children’s story, the lives of Selamta’s children will be improved in immeasurable ways.
The Selamta Family Project is a volunteer grassroots project developed in 2005 to establish permanent, stable family homes for orphaned children and marginalized women in Ethiopia. By providing positive influences in a family and community setting it is possible to build strong citizens, maintain cultural connections, and sustain healthy conditions.
