Anton Corbijn and Martin Ruhe did a fantastic job with the film and have quickly become common names in my continual study of film and cinematography.

I have decided to challenge myself in designing something new every day. So far so good. Below are the designs from the first few days. I love doing this because it allows me opportunity to try new things. I limit myself to 20 minutes...

Film Study #2 | Underøath // Paper Lung
I know, I know. It’s a music video, not a film. Still, it tells a story. All in all, it’s a visual narrative. A gorgeous visual narrative. Underoath’s Paper Lung music video is a beautiful blend of gorgeous cinematography and graphic visuals. Not to mention the song is top notch as well. Underoath is easily one of my favorite bands and has been for a while and this video does not...

Film Study #1 | 2 or 3 Things I know About Her...
I’ve started studying films that inspire me and selecting frames from those films that I find to be inspirational. Jean-Luc Godard’s 2 or 3 Things I Know About Her is definitely one of those films. I have never watched it until recently and was pleasantly surprised by the vibrant color, unique storytelling and beautiful cinematography that is consistent throughout the film. The main...

Zambia Book Drive Tees →
A friend of mine asked me to design a shirt for an initiative that her and her students have decided to help with. It’s quite simple: send donated books to the Mumana Basics School in Zambia. Easy right? The only problem is that it costs a lot of money to ship anything to Africa, much less a box full of heavy books (about $90). This is where the shirts come in. The proceeds from the shirts...
