Rock the Garden 2018

Branding, Identity, User Interface

2018

Rock the Garden is an annual music festival organized by the Walker Art Center and 89.3 The Current. The proliferation of festivals and festival culture sparked an idea to use the microscopic garden below the feet of festival goers as a representation of the bands and the event itself. Butterflies find sightlines on a bicycle helmet alongside a melting creamsicle mosh pit of ants while a slug swipes across a lost smartphone (who hasn’t lost one of those?) as a dabbing mantis mounts the stage. A number of expressions were created including t-shirts, tickets, badges, signs, social media promotions, giveaways and moving visuals for the screens throughout the event.

Why Not?, Rare Parasite

Posters

2016–2018

An ever growing collection of flyers for monthly dance music events in and around Minneapolis. At times these are the most creative bits I’m able to generate outside of my 9–5 grind.

Branding

2016

One of the first tasks at space150 was concepting and design for the 41st version of the agency’s identity. Looking at the cataclysmic events that unfolded in 2016 from the rise of Trumpism to Pokemon Go, our team begain to see the role of advertising and thereby space150’s role within as a paradoxical dilemma. Today, we’re split between two worlds, merging wide-eyed creativity with digital rigor. We refuse to be pinned into a corner. We respect the past but look to the future. We love the tangible but live through digital. Today is fueled by tension and competing priorities. We are space150.
