I love the tactile and visual appeal of a well-designed piece of print: be it a magazine, a book, or even industrial design like the origami of cardboard boxes with wraparound print.
I've worked with print since my days at Hewlett-Packard in Denmark.. Started out with Ventura Publisher, then moved on to PageMaker, then Quark XPress and now InDesign. While I do not have a degree in anything artsy, I've taken the time to study and train in colors, design and typography along the way. From 400 page books to flyers and posters trial and error has taught me how to handle most everything from metallic ink spot colors to pre-press for multi-language editions.

Bertolon School of Business Capital Campaign |
|
In late 2007 Waxman Communications contacted me to help a client with a design project. The Bertolon School of Business at Salem State College was embarking on an ambitious drive to expand and enhance its image, and they needed a print piece to go with the new campaign. It was a fun project, and the end result was quite good. Unfortunately, Bertolon decided at the last minute to go with something more pedestrian, so this piece never went into print. Too bad for everybody... |

Dickey Center Student Brochure |
|
The Dickey Center for International Understanding at Dartmouth College runs a host of programs for undergraduate and graduate students, including fellowships, clubs, and internships. In 2009, they decided they needed a brochure to consolidate their overview of offerings, and I was hired to put together a full-color 16 page handout with some additional tabbed "cheat sheets" inset for easy reference on each topic. It was a fun project complete with die cuts, and the end result was pleasing and successful. 16 4+4 pages, + die cut/folds and a set of die cut 1+0 sheets. |

The Willow School is a singularly unique educational institution; a one-room K-3 school run by two visionary and wonderful teachers. Both my kids attended the school, and it was my pleasure to return the favor by creating a nice print piece for the school as they recruited for kids for the 2010-2011 school year. Gatefold full bleed letter. |

Reproductive Health Consortium Resource CD |
 The Reproductive Health Response in Conflict Consortium (www.rhrc.org) is predominantly an online client of mine, but occasionally other stuff crops up. This resource CD was a compilation of several hundred PDFs and other tools which was distributed worldwide to their implementing partners. Getting a master disk set up for duplication as well as the necessary artwork properly formatted was just one small part of the challenge. |

MHAROA b/w "Stand Tall" Print Ad |
|
 Mental Health, Addiction and Retardation Organizations of America is an umbrella organization of smaller mental health non-profits that works to secure funding for its members. To encourage donations to the organization and it's members thru the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) for workplace giving, MHAROA wanted to create a series of print ads.

 Working for the Danish publishers Aschehoug Fakta and others, I designed a series of books on subjects ranging from child rearing, wine, outer space, lizards as pets, and vacationing in Denmark.
For some publishers I simply managed the production of the Danish translation of foreign originals, for others I was given the opportunity to design the whole piece from scratch. I did a brief stint doing similar work for Reader's Digest shortly after arriving the United States in 1998. Their ridiculous pay and overly demanding deadlines made the whole thing less-than-enjoyable.

 The fan club for the (in)famous "Roskilde Festival" in Denmark put out "c.r. news" four times a year. I radically redesigned the magazine and edited two issues before leaving Denmark. It was a 16 page A5 job in 2+1/1+1 colors. |

 Hand-produced with a "print run" of about 30 copies, this little booklet was created around a story I wrote in 1997 as a farewell present to colleagues and friends when I left Denmark in 1997. An extremely silly story ("The Sausage Patrol") was illustrated by the amazing Peter Heydenreich; the cover for the booklet was printed on heavy recycled stock with a fitted sheet of vellum added. For those of you who can understand Danish and feel the need to read the whole sordid thing, the story can be found here (in Danish, obviously).
I'm a great admirer of the fine art of book binding — one day I'll learn how to do it with something other than staples and scotch tape... |
