Brand Identity: Polaroid Logo (2009)
11 x 17 Printed Poster
A Polaroid was my first "real" camera and I loved it. I used it overwhelmingly to document my myriad Lego creations. Unfortunately, these photos have not yet "turned up."
Despite many corporate missteps over the years, Polaroid has enjoyed a cult following and seems to be rounding the corner. Charles + Ray Eames even made a great film about the seminal SX-70 (below). I wanted to create a corporate identity that I felt accurately reflected my admiration for the brand.
This identity concept is actually a riff on the geometric construction of a root spiral (Spiral of Theodorus). I segmented the design to create a greater sense of motion and used the composition to explore color mixing. I am especially fond of the way the orange and purple hues blend at their boundaries.

Packaging: Gifts (2006)

Invitation: Arcade Raid (2002)
Collaboration with Kelly and adapted from an original Atari 2600 game cartridge retail packaging.
This was an epic party that I threw with Chip Watkins (DJ WHO) in Baltimore before I moved away. We took over The Spy Club, a clandestine bar into which one entered through a secret bookcase, filled it with Ataris and took people back to the arcade filled early 1980s.
