Assignment

Assignment: To design an oversized, coffee-table book to accompany a retrospective of Brian Lanker’s award-winning photography career.

Approach

Approach: We organized the book somewhat chronologically and rescanned all the photographs digitally using the latest technology available. The book includes multiple essays and short passages by the photographer’s network of close friends, Lanker passed away in 2011.

Results

Results: The book accompanied a large retrospective exhibition at the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art at The University of Oregon that opened on January 23rd, 2016. It was a great tribute to an important, influential photojournalist and a great man.

Assignment

An original poster designed for the 23rd installment of Pecha Kucha Austin. The speaking event, originally imported from Tokyo, features a challenging "20 X 20" format where each of 10 guest presenters from a variety of creative disciplines are relegated to 20 slides timed at 20 seconds per slide. The poster promotes the event and is given away to all attendees.

Approach

The poster designed by Pentagram Austin and silk-screen printed by Austin’s Industry Print Shop always includes the names of the guest presenters and plays with the off-beat venues where the events are staged. Pecha Kucha 23 was held next-door to a grocery store

Results

The Pecha Kucha events are always well attended and the posters have become collectors items.

Assignment

To design a 4-page feature treatment and cover that visually communicates a story about the blockbuster film series The Hunger Games. The fourth sequel called Mockingjay Part 2 was directed by LMU alumnus Francis Lawrence

Approach

We decided on an illustration solution instead of photography because portraits of the director had been featured in the publication several times before and the author of the piece wrote about the totalitarian themes of the film and the original book. We commissioned illustrator Tavis Coburn who happened to be a super fan of The Hunger Games.

Results

The original cover and feature has garnered several national awards recently.

Assignment

A poster inviting guests to the book launch of a design retrospective covering 30 years of Pentagram partner DJ Stout’s 35 year career–all in the state of Texas. The book Variations on a Rectangle, published by the University of Texas Press, focuses primarily on Stout’s inventive editorial and book design work from his 13 years as the art director of Texas Monthly magazine and 17 years as the principal of Pentagram's Austin office.

Approach

The poster features a portrait shot by New York photographer John Madere of Stout in his hometown of Alpine located in far West Texas. The custom made wooden frame is a reference to the book’s title and subject matter.

Results

The book launch was well attended and the photograph has been included in a series of portraits Madere has made of prominent graphic designers

Assignment

Pentagram partner DJ Stout and designer Stu Taylor in Austin have designed and produced a book of photographs by Matt Lankes that documents the making of Boyhood, Linklater’s critically acclaimed film.

Shortly after filming commenced, Lankes began shooting behind-the-scenes photographs and soulful, black-and-white portraits of the cast and crew with his 4×5 camera. The Austin-based photographer returned every year, and over the span of the film’s production he created a visual time capsule of the actors, including a series of portraits of Coltrane, the boy in Boyhood, who grows from a soft-faced child into a young man during the course of the film.

Distributed by the University of Texas Press, Boyhood: Twelve Years on Film , presents more than 200 color and black-and-white images and features essays by Linklater, producer Cathleen Sutherland, Lankes, and actors Arquette, Hawke, Coltrane and Lorelei Linklater

Assignment

Creek Show, a take on "Freak Show" is an outdoor exhibition and art happening created as a fundraiser for Austin's Waller Creek revitalization initiative. The Pentagram team working with Austin illustrator, Marc Burckhardt designed the logo and the T-shirts for the event.

Approach

We designed a logo that would appeal to a younger audience in order to create awareness within that group of a refurbishment of an abandoned creek in downtown Austin.

Results

The t-shirts have been a big hit with the younger audience.

Assignment

Pentagram’s Austin office has redesigned the Loyola Marymount University’s alumni/university magazine, the magazine’s website and created an iPad app for the publication. The goal was to make one really strong multitiered entity, leveraging the printed piece and the electronic space as formats that each have their own unique strengths. The new Fall 2013 issue includes a feature on LMU alumnus Van Partible, who created the cartoon classic “Johnny Bravo” while he was a student. Partible sports a “Bravo-esque” bouffant on the front cover of the publication, and his two-dimensional alter-ego shows off the animator’s towering inspiration on the back cover (watch a short film about the cover shoot on LMU Magazine Online).

Approach

Took a humorous approach to an alumni profile by photographing the alumn who is an animator as his cartoon creation.
