I've been pretty delinquent about keeping my FB biz page updated with work, but here's a project I thoroughly enjoyed -- coming up with some 70s underground-comix inspired characters, and some wavy hand-drawn text to match, laying all out as a poster, then screenprinting a bunch of them for Ottawa Bike and Trail. To top it off, I'll be joining the bike ride from Ottawa to Pomona Lake that weekend with Suzanne Southard and the family!

Check out our screen-printed Moonrise Bike Ride Poster featuring original artwork by Draft Horst Studios! Each poster is signed and numbered. These are limited to 50 prints. Order yours now. The poster measures 11x17.

When designing a book of stellar photography, the best strategy, design-wise, is to just get out of the way. Still, I had some fun giving the catalog for the annual Focus on the Story photography festival some panache. The festival is ongoing this month in DC, and info about exhibits, openings, and talks can be found at focuonthestory.org

The catalog for the 2022 Focus on the Story International Photo Festival & Visual Storytelling Summit. The annual festival is a month-long celebration of visual storytelling in Washington, D.C.

I haven't published to my studio/worklife page in awhile, but this deserves a share. Here's a project I worked on with Joe Newman and Focus on the Story, a DC-based documentary photography org. It's an 84 page magazine retrospective of their 3rd annual festival (which was all virtual this year because of the COVID). Regardless, great photography is a joy to work with (and there's plenty of it here), and a fun exercise in publication design. My goal was to present beautiful images with a minimum of design elements: just good typography and layout. I think it works. Enjoy!

So my first foray into creating exhibit display. This is a kiosk I developed with KC Techworks, which is part of the 100 year anniversary exhibit at the Station. A lot of fun, and a nice change of pace from web development. See it here: kiosk.timhilldesign.com

Tried my hand at some graf writing, an informal logo for an LA-based non-profit that organizes book clubs for at-risk youth.

Powerful and mesmerizing.

Poster I just made for the Cornucopia Institute. They are helping small organic brands and consumers in the fight to pass California Proposition 37, which would require food packaging be labeled if it contains genetically-modified ingredients. You'd be surprised at the number of so-called organic brands who parent companies are fighting this.
