Poster work

American poster art of inventive qualiity retreated to the university campus, which is one of the few surviving pedestrian environments in America. Because universities sponsor a large number of events, the campus is an ideal poster-communications environement. A number of prominent poster designers emerged from university design faculties.

Tell me more about Travel Sharing

r

International projects are often expensive but I offer an alternative. To keep costs down, different organizations who all work in the same area can join a travel-sharing group. During one production trip, I create quality media for each member of the group while they split the travel costs, making production more affordable for everyone.
