Is there anything more wonderful than a great map? Is there anything worse than an inadequate map? While working in the field of wayfinding I have tried to craft a few of the wonderful variety. Here are a few samples.
This map helps walking visitors find points of interest and dining opportunities in downtown Medina, Ohio. A stand-alone directory of merchants allows for easy updates.
A small graphic donated to my favorite recreational trail. Thanks, TART.
These graphics were designed to accompany an interactive exhibit geared toward young children that describes the formation and impact of tornadoes. Custom typography and illustration combine with “textured” graphics to create excitement.
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.
Punxsutawney Phil, of Groundhog Day fame, is quite a popular rodent. This thematic graphic (above) show a couple of his biggest fans.
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 this colorful set of cards to better reflect her energy.
“Wow! Fantastic, beautiful, excellent! Thank you soooooo much!” – Barbara Malczewski
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.
The St. Nicholas Center of Holland, Michigan hopes to educate the public about the roots of our modern Santa Claus traditions.
Shown above is an illustration I designed for the introductory panel of the forth coming St. Nicholas traveling exhibit. The large type on the right side of the graphic is custom designed.
The Western Center for Archaeology & Paleontology is home to 1,000,000 specimens unearthed while the Diamond Valley Lake was being created. 5,000 square-feet of exhibits interpret the story those specimens tell.
Large exterior signage transport visitors through time as they approach the entrance of the WCP&A.
I contributed this logo to a new group dedicated to providing better care to elderly citizens by way of organizing available services.
