Design

During the daytime I teach scientific writing to Biology students. But at night, I put on my cape and … draw. Here is a portfolio of some of the stuff that I have made extra time for.

Posters, t-shirts, bookmarks – anything that draws attention is a form of communication. The great thing is that there’s no limit to what you can do when you communicate visually. Here is a variety of examples from science outreach and beyond.

Link_logos What is it about logos that’s so fascinating? I love drawing simple shapes that convey simple messages. Or wordmarks using just type. Or both. Here are some examples.

Link_typography Typography to me is what sets us apart from the other great apes. Beautiful letters can be created and used for text, for display or for art. A book is only complete once it is set in an appropriate font. For over ten years, I have been interested in typography. Some of the results can be found here.
