First Wednesday

I have been going through a reductive phase lately. Trying to make posters in the simplest way possible. This one is for First Wednesday at East Lounge in Portland. First Thursday is always a hullabaloo in the Pearl district here. Just more elevator fodder at WK. Plenty of white space so there is room for people to draw penis’s on it.

Layer Tennis

Layer tennis with Josh Nelson today. Make a image, pass it to your friend and you have to use something from the previous file to make a new one. This stuff gets pretty rank when you play for keeps. No offense intended to anyone or anything. Just making stuff. I served up the first volley.

This will bring perspective into the whole thinking, if you can call it that.

Hope Phones

New work for non-profit organization, Hope Phones. This organization was started by Stanford student Josh Nesbit and takes old phones that are donated, reprograms them with Frontline SMS software and gives these phones to doctors working in Malawi, Africa. Thus when a doctor needs medical information on a patient a simple text message can deliver the patients medical history, saving valuable time and money.

This series of 3 posters was intended to be used in the building at Wieden+Kennedy to get old phones donated by WK employees. Trying to tell the story was a mouthful when trying to explain what Hope Phones is and does. In the process of making these posters, the visual language simplified the whole program and are going to be used by the organization for their own promotions.
