'Prince Releasing' Production Card

College Tuition ID Card Design/ Animation: Production Card
Prince Releasing

Here's a short little production card ID for independent film company Prince Releasing.

The style was to encapsulate a middle eastern flavor starting with a faux arabic style logo to design. An interesting dichotomy in production company logos is that not only are they used in this extremely large format context, which entails them being projected across a 50 foot screen in a movie theater, but they are also seen very small. Most production company logos are going to end up as tiny single color images on movie posters as well. So in a nutshell, the simpler the better.

In-N-Out Burger Bora-Bora

Design/ Animation

In-N-Out Burger

As part of the ongoing list of incentives and benefits that In-N-Out Burger associates have for working with the company, the annual golden ring to reach for is becoming a member of the 100% Club.

When an associate becomes a member of the 100% Club, they go on an exotic vacation, and BTV puts together a vacation video of the trip for all the participants. In this case, I was able to contribute a title sequence to capture the majesty of Bora-bora.

Interface Design/ Animation

In-N-Out Burger

In the making of the graphics package for the Bora-bora travel video, for In-N-Out Burger, an extension of the design was used to create the menus for the DVD that it would be distributed on.

As any DVD these days, it contains chapter selections, bonus materials, and in this case, credits for the creators behind it all.

Guilt Trip T-shirt Design

T Shirt Design: Feature Film
Paramount Pictures/ Skydance Productions

A quick little job I did quite a few months ago finally popped up online: a t-shirt design I did for Barbara Streisand for her movie 'Guilt Trip'.

Teaming up with costume designer extraordinaire Danny Glicker, again, he needed a very simple shirt with very specific needs. What are needs? In this case it's a matter of feeling, tone, and authenticity.

A lot of my work comes for being sort of an expert in pastiche and being able to emulate design styles of the past. But not every job is recreating 1950s atomic age kitsch. In this case it was about emulating the banal and mass produced.
