Lago Concessions: Staff Festival Shirt
Lago Concessions was in need of an eye-catching staff shirt for their employees. They were providing all the concessions for a series of 4 large music festivals across the midwest US. The shirts needed to fit the festival aesthetic and quickly communicate "food" and "music". The custom drawn lettering and illustration of the speaker-headed character inside of a mouth felt like the most appropriate and wacky direction to draw attention. The theme was then carried out on the back of the short as well, to provide "tour dates" and feel even more like a festival shirt.

Detour Signage Concept: American Greetings
American Greeting was in need of a brand refresh for one of their greeting card lines. Detour is more novelty/humor-themed, so the approach for this concept relied heavily on an illustrative collage of isolated cartoon-y depictions which were inspired by themes and subjects on the actual card fronts. The illustrations acted both as a pattern and as individual "pop-off" signage for dimensionality and added visual interest.
