Murnau, Borzage and Fox

Murnau was the most influential German film director when he came to Fox studios in the early 1920s. Frank Borzage was perhaps influenced most. As the two alternated cast and crew, they created some of the finest films ever made. This 12-disc boxset for 20th Century Fox includeses two books of historical photographs and essays. The first on the two directors' history; the second on Murnau's lost but perhaps greatest film, 4 Devils. Designed at Ph.D

Erik Nitsche Archive

Dingy bookstores and UCLA's endless library are our second homes, and we've gotten really good at googling and ebaying. In the five plus years since Katie and I have been researching and archiving the work of designer Erik Nitsche, we've gotten some amazing responses and found some amazing things. Not wanting the flickr page to be our sole online representaion, we're developing an engrossing experience for design historians to engage The Imagician's work.

Earthquakes, Mudslides, Fires, and Riots: California & Graphic Design

Now with Financial Instability! No one warned this Midwestern kid when he moved more West. Lu Sandhaus is doing her best to give me the blow-by-blow through researching and designing this project on the History of California Graphic design. From Saul Bass to those crazy hippies, the book (in progress) and website attempt to document and organize what seems so disorganized. Check Lu's photos from her show opening.

The Conversation

A holdover from high school days spent happily editing audio, Francis Ford Coppola's suspense film remains a favorite. This fictional trailer explores the films theme of intersection/disconnection of visual/aural. Describing my thought process for this is usually met with looks of "you’re a bit of a nerd, aren’t you?" I think I even heard it aloud once.

1960s Revolutions

Katie and I wrote this review after a sleepless trip to Kansas City where a semi-truck almost killed us. True masochism exists only when design, history, and education combine.

Flamin’ Hotz Records

 

Bootleg records never looked so damn up market.

I've designed and art directed the majority of the record label's product.

They're possiblly bought just for the fancy packaging—IDK, I'm optimistic.
