In order to display the name of the album in both Armenian and English, I created an ambigram that read Spirit one way, and read the same, but in Armenian when turned upside down. This theme is applied throughout the rest of the album artwork: the booklet can be read from either side, with one end featuring the lyrics in English, and the other in Armenian. http://www.behance.net/Gallery/Spirit-CD-Artwork-_-Bilingual-Ambigram/267087 CD Artwork for Gor Mkhitarian’s latest album titled “Spirit”.

Since most Armenian last names have an -ian ending, I merged those of the artists on the poster to show that their heritage is something they have in common. The colors used are that of the Armenian national flag. http://www.behance.net/Gallery/Gor-Mkhitarian-_-Sonya-Varoujian-Concert-Poster/267085 This project is the first to make use of my in-progress typeface, and fits well since the typeface was designed to have an Armenian look/feel.

Digital Lomography retains these core values, but uses cell phone cameras as opposed to traditional ones. This adds the advantage of quick-turnaround, and makes use of the fact that many of us regularly carry around a camera-equipped cell-phone. http://www.behance.net/Gallery/Digitalomo/46772 The essence of Lomography lies in taking your camera with you everywhere and sporadically documenting life without a great deal of deliberation or planning.

The “Anchor” in the title comes from the mascot, who according to the story, is an ex-marine trucker who drives around and finds/meets new chip cookers and helps them distribute their chips to the world. Inspiration for the logo design was gathered from tattoo artwork, nautical symbols, trucker culture, and the snack industry. All of these aspects also tie into the logo conceptually. Anchor sports this logo on his arm as a tattoo, he is an ex-marine (thus the anchor), and the main type is set in Letterhead’s Boston Truckstyle- which is based on the visuals commonly associated on 18 wheelers. http://www.behance.net/Gallery/Anchors-Chip-of-the-Month/44457 Anchor’s Food Find is a distributor of boutique chips from around the world.

In this case the tagline used is historically accurate; bread was often promised to the hungry. The part they forget to tell you about is the fact that the bread is full of delicious mold by the time it reaches you.. A simplified 4-color process was used to achieve the image of the bread. http://www.behance.net/Gallery/Bread-for-the-Hungry/42522 Bread for the hungry!
