My good friend and long-time collaborator Jacob Scott asked me to design a full identity and web portfolio for his long-established photography practice. I am a huge fan of Jac's work and was excited to build a site to showcase it.
I really felt that Jac's photos speak for themselves and I wanted to let them do all the talking. Giant thumbnails compose the vast majority of the single-page site, and while there are many images, they load quickly and in succession, much quicker than other flash-based portfolio systems.

Last year, I took a road-trip down to San Juan Capitstrano to assist on a photo-shoot of some students working with the Scripps institute and Utah Valley University. During the long ride, my friend Weston Colton took some great shots of the road stretched between here and there.
From that experience, Weston and I compiled Legato: Scenes from a Road, a collection of three 16-page books of photography, each a meditation of sorts on one aspect of the trip , and an eight page essay I wrote about slow travel. The books were printed offset, and held together with a letterpressed cigar-band.
I've had the opportunity to work on some great new identities this year, ranging from wordmarks for small government operations to full collateral for a few non-profit organizations.
Branding work is something I love to work on. While the constraints are many, I like working within those limitations to establish a unique and memorable presence for a new entity.
