BOOKS
I acted as art director and production designer on all of these books which included automotive, children's and educational books.
SOUND BOOKS
One of my favorites, this book had a sound module on the right for character voices and sound effects. On each page the text would incorporate several icons to let you know when to press the buttons.
POP-UP BOOKS
Each page of this pop-up book had two songs that were represented on the sound module. As art director for this book, I was challenged with the task of combining two images per page to fit naturally with each other. The other challenge was to create the layers for the pop-up image. This also took some technical skill on my behalf to set spreads up for production.
This was a series of six children's books based on vehicles. The die-cut was established using the cover art, then the interior spreads were created.
DIE-CUT BOOKS
AUTOMOTIVE
BOOKS
This spread was part of a 320 page book on the history of Chevrolet. I acted as art director and production designer to create this
coffee table book.
EDUCATIONAL
BOOKS
"Mathematics in Context" was a series of mathematic books geared towards the middle grade school curriculum. I worked as graphic designer on these, which also allowed me to incorporate some of my illustrations into these text books.
