I wanted to change the look and feel of the current Draft magazine and make it more classic. I modeled it after wine magazines. I re-designed the "logo" of the magazine. The cover of the magazine I used an image from the Heineken Museum in Amsterdam. The table of contents and masthead is next with popular beer advertisements that I also used as well as a personal painting. The page spread, I used my own photography.
Picked one subject matter (smoking pipes), a word to describe the images (smoke), and picked three typefaces which best matches its corresponding pipe. Proceeded to study and re-write three different typefaces by hand (no tracing).
I am from Atlanta, Georgia and am currently studying graphic design at Georgia State University. Random everyday objects inspire my art. I always try to experiment with different mediums and techniques so I can merge fine art with graphic art. I also enjoy the trial and error process. I am inspired by and admire clean design, so naturally I like to simplify my work. When I am not busy being a student and a bartender, freelance work and my personal art consumes me.
