3D Type - Oilsands Optimism
Extruded 3D type for an Alberta Venture Magazine article speculating when oilsands investments will see a recovery. 3 out of 10 delegates polled predicted sector spending to return in 2015.
In the end, the background had to be flattened and subdued a bit to allow copy and other graphics to run overtop. See the final in print.
This was a quick turnaround project, and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.

CT Scans of Everyday Objects
The New York Times has a slideshow of the work of artist-turned-med-student Satre Stuelke, who takes CT scans of everyday things - from a toaster to an iPhone, to Barbie, to a Big Mac. His aim is to get people to "think about how things are constructed."
Images like this are captivating, they satisfy some innate curiosity we have about the things around us. This is what I try to accomplish in my technical illustration - visually communicating information with a captivating image.
