This poster is about the changing face of information design. As stated on the poster: information is not flat anymore. It takes didactic terms about layout and transforms the flat vectors into a dense 3-dimensional kinetic intersection.

This collage is about the future of media content: innovative, addictive, short form and mobile. I developed it as the brand image and packaging for Warner Bros. Studio 2.0. Though rejected, it found an appropriate place in the opening sequence of AIGA'S NEXT Conference.

This poster is inspired by the Francis Ford Coppola Film The Conversation. The typography evokes a sense of isolation, paranoia and tension by enclosing the film's protagonist, surveillance expert Harry Caul, in tight spaces. To emphasize the raw and dirty world he operates in, the poster is screen printed on craft paper. This poster was featured in CMYK magazine and exhibited at the design museum at U.C. Davis.

Self Portrait by Freda Khalo

Sometimes artists use objects symbolically…

here Freda replaces her spinal column with a brittle and worn out Greek column to signify the horriffic tram accident she suffered as a young woman. She broke nearly every bone in her body and lived in constant pain.

Numerous operations didn’t relieve her suffering.
