Punxsutawney Weather Discovery Center – Interpretive Graphics

Rarely has work been so fun as when I had the opportunity to develop the graphics program for the Weather Discovery Center in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania! The PWDC is located in a re-purposed post office and uses the legendary Punxsutawney Phil (the famous weather “predicting” groundhog) as a vehicle for weather education. Visitors to the PWDC are treated to a collection of postal artifacts, the Meteorologist Hall of Fame, Phil’s Burrow and a host of interactive exhibits.

Three of nine large translucent window graphics in the lobby of the Punxsutawney Weather Discovery Center are shown here. Each graphic illustrates a different weather condition and a person interacting with that weather.

Barbara Malczewski - Identity

Barbara Malczewski is a passionate, talented and accomplished artist with a wide range of capabilities. Her old business card was not making that clear to perspective clients. I designed, for her, this colorful set of cards that better reflects her energy.

Custom Typefaces

Sometimes 50,000 fonts are not enough! Above are three examples of typefaces which I designed for either a specific job or just for the love of type.

Download Bad, the blackletter font shown above. Bad is an OpenType font. It includes caps, small-caps, numerals, basic punctuation and a couple spooky dingbats.

I would love to know if you use it for any projects; email me.
