@FontFace Test

I’ve been reading a lot about @FontFace and watching all my coder friends try to deploy this feature on many of their personal sites as well as present this to many new and prospective clients.

It’s a simple injection of CSS – with a little bit of @FontFace fonts. There are tons of free ones out there and ways to turn your special branded font into an @FontFace.

Here is a little demo I created to ensure it worked with the free font I downloaded, thanks to fontsquirrel.com

missing something?

This was a project that, although the deadline was in a few days, I really had a good time developing. The editors of AR magazine needed an ad to express to architects that, if they don’t subscribe soon, their 2011 magazine subscription will end.

I had come up with a concept, as you can see from my sketches, to express to the reader a sense of “loss” or “missing something.” Without much content, I developed this concept of having architectural structures, perhaps some more defined than others, to be laid out on a page and “knocked-out” or in fact missing from the magazine page. Die-cutting would have been ideal, but just cutting it out (just in the picture file) would have to be enough for now considering the budget. Along with this was an idea to have the reader guess what structure is missing and possibly win a years subscription to the magazine. This was to get the readers attention and make the call-to-action worth wild.

After I developed my ideas on paper and fast mock-ups I worked with art director, Matt Healy to create the layout for presentation.

I am still awaiting for direction on this piece.

architect for hire

While managing the design and production of the AIA Chicago Architect magazine, this issue we hit a dilemma. The editor wanted a cover to reflect the story-line of “architects working for less or even free.” While looking through endless pages of stock photo, I sat with the associate editor, Amanda Vasilikos, to brainstorm for a concept. The next day, her concept of an architect looking for work in areas such as a flea market, etc. turned into this new cover. I had decided to shoot a cover with a “look-alike” architect showcasing the concept of “architects working for less or for free.” Amanda and I took turns shooting, model/actor, Matt Healy in one of the vacant streets of NYC with the very sign that reflects the idea of this coming issue…” Name Your Price.” Geri Bearden, art director, also helped with additional feedback and signage.
