My entry for the Graphic Design Festival Scotland 2017 international poster competition. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=maWvbMZdHY8 In the following Youtube video, Noah narrates his battle with alcoholism. As stated in the description of his video, he would tell his journey if he stayed sober for at least one year.

Typeset at 8pt on an A1 sized poster, this piece takes the transcript of his story from the first second to the last.

They discovered that the podium and microphone were powerful tools to help the citizens of Long Beach voice their opinion to aid in moving the city forward.

The redesign for the Los Angeles Times focuses on retaining the rich value of the written articles in the newspaper. Commonly featured on newspapers are the text of the articles already being exposed. This has been reduced by limited the one half of the fold to display only the date, weather and pricing information, while the remaining half has the featured articles. In addition to this idea, one spread is dedicated to each article.
