Spec: The Real Monster

Client: no!spec

This pro-bono poster was designed and donated to the anti-speculative organization.

Spec work is a commonly employed unethical practice that target designers and is normally masked under the guise of a contest or test of skill using actual, active client projects for little or no compensation to the creative.

Another well known beast that like-wise preys on the innocent in similar fashion was employed as a simple, yet impacting psychological comparison.

Baby Shower Invitation

Client: A. Thom
names and information changed to preserve privacy.

The client requested a tropical vibe which also marked the gender of the soon-to-be newborn.

The theme of "Three is a Magic Number" was inspired in part by (now owned by) Disney's School House Rock's tender tune of the same name, which taught children their three times tables and to a minor degree, the symbolic significance of the number of three in history.

This will be the couple's third (and I have been told "last") child. It was also a sweet way to include the other two small children in the imminent arrival of their sister and on a more subtle level, included the entire family in one form or another on the invitation.
