Death of Classical

Warner Classics:
American Rage
Packaging / Editorial Design
2019
Album design for Warner Classics. Influenced by political propaganda, the interplay of the type, colors, and shapes of the design explores the artist's leaden deliberation and criticism expressed in his work.

Museum of Modern Love
Environmental / Editorial / Digital Design

Celebrating the launch of the television web series “Modern Love” — an original based on the weekly column published by The New York Times — Amazon created the Museum of Modern Love (MoML). The interactive pop-up featured immersive installations inspired by eight true love stories from the series.
Taking cues from the graphic system of MTA and the visual language of newspapers, the event identity is characterized by typographical chromostereopsis. The voice of the font faces helped create light and warm visuals throughout the experience.

Netflix:
The Irishman
Editorial / Environmental Design
2019
To promote and commemorate the release of Martin Scorsese's The Irishman, Netflix underwent a month-long activation across two cities. An 8-page broadsheet newspaper was produced, taking audiences back to August 1, 1975, the day after Teamster boss Jimmy Hoffa was reported missing to federal authorities.
The design of the paper drew inspiration from the splashy, photo-heavy New York Daily News, while elements from the Brooklyn Daily Eagle, New York Times and Detroit Free Press influenced the denser interior layout. One anachronistic indulgence is Florian Karsten's Screamer, used only for the front page hammerhead. Distressed Futura and ParaType's SchoolBook round out the headline typography.
