Although my core training is in music, my graphic design work has led to experience in the publishing and advertising industries as a designer, art director, project and distribution manager. I designed all of the logos and visual work for my projects and I am still available for graphic design work so please, have a look at the material and send an e-mail to vixmedia (at) gmail (dot) com.

Poster + Invitation — VanBC
This was the smaller “handout” version of the poster below.
I took the photo of the mural and stitched it together as the “branding” for the location at Ray-Cam.
This poster and invitation were approved by two committees.
The amount of information required a dense design — the challenge was to keep it legible and visually interesting.
Poster – Bliss Event
This was a poster for an event in Langley. Print and web versions created.
The image is a photograph I took, then processed to create the graphic.
DVD Cover and Label
DVD cover and disc label for Otter Be Good Productions. Photos were video screen captures that required conversion and correction to print.
Concert Program
- Pauline Oliveros + Deep Listening Band
Working with Pauline Oliveros was a milestone in my career.
The band was very pleased with the program for their 20th anniversary concert in Seattle.
This is the layout for print.
There was a lot of text to place and the challenge was to keep the layout simple, yet attractive and compelling.
VIX Projects
Work on my own projects gives me more artistic freedom to show my skills. Here are some covers for publication I designed.
Left: The first example is a design for a music work
I took the photo by a river in Banff.
The cover is for my composition written for a percussion quartet.
Below: I designed a journal cover for my application to graduate school in the fall of 2010. I was applying for a fast-track PhD program at Brown and RPI in the US.
