I wanted my business cards to be clean, elegant, simple and modern. To this end I used Feijoa by the Klim Type Foundry. The cards were printed on high-quality 13 pt. matte stock that is 50% recycled.

Beatles to Bowie Photo Exhibition
San Francisco Art Exchange
Invitation Design

The cover spread for Beatles to Bowie, a photo exhibition which debuted at the San Francisco Art Exchange in July 2010. Focusing on the most iconic images in popular music from 1962-1974, the show featured these two, never-before-seen shots by legendary celebrity photographer Terry O’Neill. As soon as I saw Bowie in that yellow suit I knew it would be the centerpiece of our campaign. Images © Terry O’Neill
