Montana State University Holiday Card — We met with the president of the university and talked with her about what the holidays meant to her, color palette, etc. I immediately knew that I wanted to make a card that represented the university but also captured the school spirit in the process while tying in the feeling of being on campus during the holiday season. I chose landmarks around campus that the president had a personal conne...

Confident Expressive Type — I was tasked with taking an assigned word and create a composition that evoked the emotion of the word. My word was confident. Early on I knew that the word and the typeface needed to be bold to express confidence. I then played with extending the first and last characters outside the boundaries of the composition. My final piece of confidence came in the form of the exclamation point in the ...

Torun Logo — I was tasked with coming up with a logo for the Medieval Town of Torun. I chose a font that was "heavy metal" in its appearance. I could see this logo being used by a mid-80's metal band. For the logo, I decided to use basic triangle shapes to make a crown. The tip of each piece of the crown is reminiscent of the steeple of a medieval church.

LCD Soundstystem - American Dream Back Cover — This is the back cover of my design for LCD Soundsystem's American Dream album. My restrictions were to redesign an album cover and use an everyday object in an extraordinary way. I chose the LCD Soundsystem American Dream album. I chose to merge 2 ordinary items (the American flag and the barcode) into one extraordinary item. It's a commentary on the selling out of the American dream. I wanted...

Bozeman (Southpark style) Signs — This sign exists on most of the major roadways into Bozeman. Mine is a little cartoonish but it's supposed to be. If you ever decide to visit or live in Bozeman be on the look out for these signs, it was fun drawing them.

Designer Desk — I started out just trying to draw a keyboard while I was bored in my code school class, a keyboard turned into a mouse, a mouse turned into a Wacom tablet, then at that point I was inspired to finish out the rest of the desktop to replace the main image of my portfolio, which used to be a stock photo of a designers desktop.

May The Force Be With You — I based my X-wing over the Death Star poster off Jeff Halsey's posters for Firefly, Battlestar Galactica, and Dr. Who. I wanted to draw up a Star Wars poster that fit in with that series. I tweeted this image to Jeff explaining my fondness for his work, and he retweeted my drawing to his followers and responded the following quote. @ShawnFarnum love it, dude! — Jeff Halsey (@jeffhalsey) Octo...
