Design has always permeated our world. It happens on the computer, at the drawing board and often at the work bench, as we often manufacture the objects we design. The two disciplines blend seamlessly. Our graphic design often ventures into the 3rd dimension.
Centurion Award
Chris Collins Clock
Chris Collins asked me to redo his corporate ID. I started off designing and building a 4' Cuckoo clock with an articulated bird that appears on the hour from behind a diaphragm and cuckoos the right number of times. From this we did the 2D graphics.

Hearst "Luciano" Shadow Box
A Hearst Corporation European Associate celebrated his 50th birthday. To honour him, I was asked to take a pile of images and facts about his life and turn it into a cohesive “shadow box”. In this case the theme was his boat, placed in the centre, with the USA on the left and Italy on the right. Everything from his birthplace, office, business.
