Project Description

Spread Layout

Perfect Bind

Back of book

For the studio I compiled a selection of projects that were done from students in Jay's classes throughout the years at Southern Utah University. I designed the layout and bound the book with a perfect bind. The cover was made by using linen fabric. We then silkscreened the studios logo on the back of the book.

"There Is No Excellent Beauty" Photo Shoot

The finished catalog.

Working on a photo-shoot for the catalog of my upcoming show, "There is No Excellent Beauty," at the Bunny Gunner Gallery in June and July. Here are some photos of the shoot, as well as a process video.

Tae Kwon Do Poster, for Master Johnny OH

For the past week or so the studio has worked with Johnny Oh to create a poster of his upcoming classes in Tae Kwon Do.  We developed a custom typeface for the main title and then silk screened a select few posters.  Here is Designer Spencer hill working in the studio through the silk screening process.

Young Joseph Smith.

Here I have painted a young Prophet Joseph Smith in a more academic manner.

Pursuasive Product Sketch Demo...

Today in my branding course we went over how to create a pursuasive sketch.  This is what I did as the demo. 

Love working here!

Check out our little co-workers! Brenna made a very nice snow man yesterday and Conner is always very entertaining in the studio.

SUU Gymnastics Facility Banners

For the past month, the studio has been working on some large banners for the SUU Gymnastics Facility. There are 2 banners, each about 8 feet tall and 70 feet, and 120 feet long. The athletes on the banners are record holders and national qualifiers. The imagery was meant to illustrate the technical side of the sport. Each photograph has a drawing offset to represent what the gymnast is thinking about or striving for as she moves. The banners are being installed this week, so photographs of the final product in it's space are to come soon!

As a secondary project, we created a door vinyl to block out the sun coming into the facility on one of the doors. This is a mock up of the door frame over the image, but photographs are to come soon. 

Drawing with Brenna

So my daughter Brenna and I spent the morning drawing together. I believe this is her first still life. Not too shabby for a six year old.

Painting Day

This week the designers learned something new! It is no secret that Jay is an exceptional painter. If you are unfamiliar with his work, head to Merryweather Studios and check out some of his work. Lots of color, lots of faces and other intriguing imagery. Spencer and I were "hired on" to help promote the studio, design great things for old and new clients, and assist with any projects. Painting though, is not on the list of talents for either of us. On Friday we began a painting phase and learned Jay's particular process which was a ton of fun.
Spencer and Ari are already hooked.

This is a previously prepared work that Jay is getting back to now.

First portrait for me!

Spencer's first portrait as well.

Our lovely painting set up.
