4. introduction and preface
introduction
this collection of work was accumulated over the past several years to display
my abilities and knowledge of graphic design concepts and processes in both
the professional and personal settings. although the majority of this work has
been in the professional setting, there are a few images that were developed in
college or for personal incentive.
because of a background and passion for architecture, i chose to work
professionally with architectural firms as a graphic designer. during my time as
an architectural graphic designer i had the opportunity to learn new programs
and incorporate graphic design skills with architectural concepts and design.
i have developed graphic standards, page layouts, color palettes, 3d and 2d
renderings, 3d models and other imagery.
preface
the professional work in this book was developed for previous employers, and
with the respect of confidentiality there is no identifying information about the
pieces. much of this work was developed using information provided from
architects, interior designers, artists and 3d modelers.
employers:
machado and silvetti associates
the architectural team, inc.
tsoi/kobus and associates
the creative group client - aspen publishing
