Lee Peterson, Pianist In Recital
For her piano recital, Lee Peterson wanted a poster that matched her personality: one part piano virtuoso, one part whimsy comedy put together in the form of classic painting. Using Josef Danhauser’s “Franz Liszt Fantasizing at the Piano” and C.M. Coolidge’s “A Friend in Need”, I flexed some Photoshop muscle to insert the heads of [...]

Working with Quadstock event chair, John Bush, we collaborated with other students, school administrators, and Seattle media to light the proverbial match of word-of-mouth buzz. John’s really into the [...]
SEAC

Throughout my time, I initiated an extensive rebranding effort to make SEAC a more recognizable and popular presence on campus. [...]
Fall Ball 2008
SEAC‘s annual Fall Ball is a large-scale, off-campus dance for Seattle University students. Designing posters for this event in previous years, the visual focus was on the “Fall” part of the event. However with these posters, I wanted the emphasize the “Ball”/fun, dancing aspect of the event, or at the very least, find the two [...]
