FPO work

As you've probably seen, I do a lot of FPO (for position only) work for Target.  It's rare when I see the final work, but recently I came across this image of Heather Bahr's design.

With Heather's direction, I sketch out the images that will later be photographed.  Heather places them into her layout to get approval.  Then, the photographer uses them as a guide… but as you can see, he needs to work his magic and below is a perfect example of the process that starts with an idea and then finds its way into your circular.

Jack Link's Digital

Digital agency, Space 150 asked me to illustrate some content for their client, Jack Link's.  Check out the Wild Card illustrations and unfolding Twitter Tales on their Call of the Wild section. Fun comic stuff.

All Star Game Posters

I finally was able to walk downtown to take some pics of the huge banners Fellow created for Target.  Fellow asked me to re construct (with some adjustments) the famous Minnesota Twins mascots, Minnie and Paul.  It's pretty cool to see your work 30 feet tall.

LogoLounge 8

The latest book from LogoLounge has just arrived.  I'm happy and sad. Happy that 11 of my own marks made it in… but sad that the 11 selected are not my favorites.  Even so, this looks like another great collection that I will enjoy scouring over the next few days and weeks.

MN Monthly Cover

Minnesota Monthly asked me to design their March cover.  This was their first issue with their redesigned masthead and interior.  I had lots of fun working with Rob Johnson to get it just right.

Killed Packaging

I had the pleasure of working on a new whole grain bar packaging campaign.

First I helped explore rough ideas for 3 different naming conventions.

Really liking the bears concept, we took it further, developing a look for the Papa Bar package.

Rounds of revisions kept me busy until this was the final design….

… which got killed at the last minute. :)

The Father's House

Here's some fun logo explorations for a church in Florida named, The Father's House.  I enjoyed the visuals based on the Biblical story of the prodigal son best of all.
