gigantic stuff // see it from a distance
This category of work is huge. Subway station takeovers, check. Bus wraps, yup. Once I even worked on a piece that we placed in Times Square. It was 10+ stories tall! AND bent around the corner of the building. That was a memorable project.
regular stuff // hold it in your hands
If it has been printed and it fits in your hand then I've likely worked the production on one. There's even been a trophy or two. Only one boardgame, though.
large stuff // hang it on a on wall
Posters posters posters. Windows and in-store signage too, naturally. Turning approved one-sheets into asset libraries and spinning out any size variation a campaign could ever need. This is also where my interest in variable and responsive design systems began.
tiny things: display it on a screen
Most of the work I've done with agencies has been for print, but there have been more than a few little banners and landing pages that needed assembling or mocking up.
