Baby Cakes is an Open Type font with three different weights. A fully functioning font with a full set of symbols and over 200 personalized glyphs, Baby Cakes is a font with a sweet personality. This is my very first typeface, and what an ambitious one at that.

I wanted to create a hollow font that plays around as a slab serif sometimes and sans serif when it wants to go the beach. It mixes cursive elements with print lettering occasionally, when it can be bothered. It takes much of it’s design appeal from the Deco movement.

This font is elegant while remaining approachable. It’s nostalgic with a modern style.  Lets take the car to the beach and tell everyone how much fun we’re having. Lets go on a roadtrip and take trendy photos.

Baby Cakes! Having fun and looking good doing it. You can purchase this font here!

The show was also curated by myself and my fellow classmates for its runtime. The closing party was not only a celebration of the work but of our status as newly graduated Masters. My studies involved the creation of a fictitious band and everything that is incorporated with music via image. A more indepth look will be available soon.

Snook asked for their name written out in the urban style of Glasgow’s architecture ranging from the traditional sandstone flats to the more recognizable buildings. Some of the landmarks include the Glasgow Crane, The Science Centre, Kelvingrove Museum, and plenty of random buildings you would see throughout the city. Of course if you are not familiar with the location please simply enjoy the variety of architecture that Glasgow has to offer via these images.

The giant “S” was also a part of the project to incorporate the entirety of the country. All of Scotland’s main cities are present in the letter form as well as some of the more recognizable landmarks (Nessie!). It worked to promote the company itself and a sense of Scottish pride.

I wanted to create an identity for the area and took it upon myself to brand the city. We’re surrounded by mountains and evergreens and lakes and ponds, there’s green and blue everywhere. There is a local legend about the lake that the Loch Ness Sea Monster’s cousin, Champy, lives in the deep waters. It’s a pretty dark lake, long and narrow with black water you can’t see through. Who’s to say he isn’t there? Having swam in the lake my whole life I can say that he definitely maybe is around.

There is a train ride that travels through the northern most town of New York before Canada, to the southern metropolis of NYC. The Adirondack Park boasts the largest acreage of all the national parks in the U.S. combined with small towns littered throughout. My hometown is situated at the very top of the mountain range; sometimes referred to as the Lake City. Lake Champlain and the green mountains of the ADK’s are where I grew up.

These four large scale pieces depict the mountain ranges, hundreds of lakes, and small towns of upstate New York while following the path of the Amtrak train. Created to fill the walls of a pediatrician’s office, each scene was asked to include the owner’s Border Collie Pepper on her adventure visiting the sites. From Mount Marcy, the largest mountain in the park, to Olympic ski mountain Whiteface and the surrounding town of Lake Placid, Pepper’s hitching a ride on the way. The series ends at the D&H train station in Plattsburgh, ready to start the journey all over again.

The dimensions of the pieces vary slightly, but all of which scale over six feet in length. It was important to capture the feeling of the area using the colors and tiny details you’d find here. Personally I find the best time of year to be in the region is summer surrounded by sun, thus the secondary palette. Fauna dispersed throughout, you can’t be in the ADK’s without an abundance of life. Even the city of Plattsburgh in the left corner of the final piece is an exact replica of downtown over looking the lake. It’s really a nice place to be!

A mini series inside the City. The Districts that make up our daily lives. This is China Town. After having enough of take out, it’s time for the real experience. Maybe you can get a knock off art print of that ancient art piece you like so much. Or simply take in this small section of a cultural island inside the rest of the city.

Part of the City Life series.
