George Fox grad program posters

A series of one-off posters I designed for various grad departments at George Fox University. The colors correspond to a series of brochures for each department. These posters hang in the George Fox Portland Center.

George Fox honors program logo

Another logo design for George Fox, for the new William Penn Honors Program (top). We wanted to do a crest referencing William Penn's family coat-of-arms (a couple of variants, middle). I decided to use a book as the holding shape, instead of a shield, since Penn was a peaceful non-arms-bearing Quaker and the honors program is a "great books" program (see book list). I retained the distinctive three circles on the Penn family crest, and designed a handful of icons as options to consider for the crest (bottom). We settled on using a crest-styled Bruin head, crown and field of crosses.

George Fox Bruins logo redesign

When I started working on some new projects featuring the George Fox University Bruins logo, I noticed its weaknesses: the right half is fairly realistic, while the left side is extremely stylized; the thin gold outline was too dark, making the face blunted and indistinct. So I got to redesign it, keeping the general form similar overall so that uniforms and other items with the old logo could continue to be used.

I made the logo more stylized overall, as well as more angular and aggressive. A lighter gold color and thicker outline doesn't obscure the bear's features.

One of the first applications I designed using the new Bruin logo is this team bus, a rolling billboard for George Fox athletics. (Click to enlarge.)

A couple of t-shirt designs

I designed the top shirt for Tween camp; the client requested an identity card design, and I happily obliged. And the bottom shirt is the one that got made for George Fox University's Welcome Weekend for incoming freshmen.

High Hopes

I designed this mailer/poster for the upcoming Welcome Weekend orientation for new students at George Fox University. I'm hoping they'll use the design on a t-shirt as well.

Spring George Fox Journal

The Spring issue of the George Fox Journal is sports-focused: new football coach for the return of football to Fox, women's basketball near-perfect season, etc. Check out the whole issue here (click on upper right link to flip through it). Cover portrait by Joel Bock.

Global Issues poster

A poster I designed for the Global Issue forum held last fall at George Fox University. What a crazy-long title this thing has. I kind of think I did another design years ago that had an image torn in half and taped back together like this, but I'm not sure. I felt like it fit this event, which talks about reconciliation efforts in strife-torn Africa. Click to enlarge.

God of Antimatter lecture poster

I modified the 1888 Flammarion engraving as the illustration for this poster for George Fox University. Details about the upcoming lecture here. Click for a closer view.

George Fox Journal Fall 2011

The latest Journal I designed; you can check out the whole issue here (click on upper right to page through). The cover image is by Dominique Berho, taken during a serve trip to Nicaragua.

Logos in limbo

This is an unused logo design for Bruin Gold, an organization that supports athletic excellence at George Fox University (home of the Bruins). I especially like how the cut gold type turned out.



And this is a logo for a software company that I don't believe they ever used. It was an attempt to do a very abstracted pine tree that didn't just look like a triangle or a Christmas tree; I felt like it was a pretty original solution.

A couple of food posters for George Fox

Here's a poster I designed for George Fox University's third annual Food Meet. Kind of an obvious treatment of the title, but oh, well. The toy truck has been the primary image on previous posters, so we retained it for this one as well. The Food Meet was fun and inspirational, by the way.



This is a poster for an upcoming faculty lecture at George Fox about the social implications of the local food movement. Should be good.

Fundraising campaigns

Some promotional materials I've been working on for a couple of capital campaigns at George Fox University. The first is for our new physical therapy program that'll begin next year.

The second is for the football program, which is slated to begin in 2013. George Fox has had a football team for the majority of its 115 year history, but we haven't had a football program for over 40 years (which is why the bookstore sells "GFU Football - Undefeated since 1969" t-shirts).

Getting global with the George Fox Journal

Cover illustration I did for the new George Fox Journal. It's surprising to me that some people don't see the figures in the globe right away.

You can take a look at the whole issue here. (Click on the little magazine in the upper right to page through it.)

Taming of the Shrew

A poster I designed for an upcoming theatrical production at George Fox University. One unfortunate effect of the kittywampus layout is that it appears crooked no matter how it's hung.

George Fox posters

Posters for a couple of upcoming events at George Fox University. I designed the food one, and Karina Salgado designed the Theology of the Wild one based on a sketch I did, and I like how it turned out.

William Stafford poster

A poster for a George Fox University event celebrating the life and work of William Stafford, who was a poet laureate and peacemaker. I tried a version illustrating the featured documentary "Every War Has Two Losers" (below), but it got too busy. Plus wasn't room for the large amount of text that went on the poster.

Fall George Fox Journal

The new George Fox Journal is out, with a nice cover photographed by Mike Richeson (and art directed by me). Check it all out here.

George Fox LACI book cover

Book cover I designed for a textbook for the Liberal Arts and Critical Issues senior class at George Fox University. The book includes chapters by various George Fox professors, as well as excerpts by writers such as Wendell Berry, Jim Wallis and John Stott.

Be Known at George Fox

We've adopted the theme "be known" at George Fox; here are some print pieces and an installation that use that. Go here for a more thorough explanation of the theme.

Summer Journal

We just finished the summer issue of the George Fox Journal, with a cover story about football returning to the university in 2013. It seems strange to me to have football at a Quaker school, but it's been played here for much of the school's history, ending in the late 1960s.
