Editorial Work
I have had the opportunity to work on a variety of editorial projects throughout my career. This is a small collection of covers and openers for various publications.
Baltimore Magazine Crab Cover
I was asked to create lettering for the cover of Baltimore Magazine's Crab Issue. We went with a weathered sign painted look for the final direction and I am pleased with how it turned out.

Pegasus Magazine
I designed the cover for Pegasus, the magazine for the University of Central Florida for their 50th anniversary. I chose to work with a dark blue with hints of their school color, gold. In the end, we ended up doing a gold cover.

A fun headline inspired by vintage packaging for Southern Magazine about an article on the best Farmers' Markets.

Oprah Magazine
Chalk lettering for Oprah Magazine about recipes that have only 3 main ingredients. The chalkboards and myself flew out for the shoot, but I finished the lettering beforehand so there was enough time to also prepare the food.
The Problem With Praise
Lettering for an article about the problem with congratulating your kids too often and how to pay compliments that really count. I decided to go in the direction of a certificate.
Client: Family Circle
Art Direction: Lisa Kelsey
The Comfort Food Smackdown
I had the pleasure of creating this full page illustration for Cooking Light magazine for an article on pressure cookers. The article covered what pressure cookers work best with different recipes so we went with the style of old boxing posters. I love how it turned out and it was fun creating little anthropomorphic pressure cookers.
