Normally I would bundle a spot like this with other assignments, but I feel this one should get the spotlight. Spot-light…ha! Peter Morance, who just couldn’t be a nicer guy, not only surprised me by picking this sketch, but wanted the sketch to run as is. The story was about how penguins lay two eggs, one smaller and one larger:
And, to follow up on the homepage, there is a new animation up at tiptopgash, the first in a series of three.
This spot for the NYTimes Science Times is in the blog now along with an update on some recently mentioned projects. Tiptopgash has a couple of new posts and more animations coming hopefully this week. Thanks for looking!
While I wait to post some other recent assignments, here are last week’s NYTimes regulars…
On the Road was about difficulties for corporate travel managers to budget around airline hidden fees:
And just for last Tuesday I got moved off Observatory to do a spot about scientists who had discovered that protons are actually slightly smaller than originally believed – a revelation that could disprove some long-held theories:
UPDATE: It looks like the project to makeover Toothy for Emergency Dentist 24/7 may be on hold indefinitely. Boo. And last month I mentioned two proposals to NJ Monthly – a one-off humor piece and another that would be a monthly illustrated column – sadly, I wasn’t as lucky this time. Next week I’ll post one of the rejects, the other I may just pursue on my own.
One of two small spots for AARP Bulletin. You can read more about this assignment and a few others from the past couple of weeks in the blog now. Lots of new work in the hopper for the coming weeks along with an update on some long term projects. Thanks for looking!
Here are a few assignments from June, and a couple from last week…
First, a quarter-page for Hanley Wood Business Media about sales reps for contractors and the system for selling products to homeowners:
Two small spots for AARP Bulletin – one about new programs for reporting crimes online and another about libraries offering programs for people who are housebound:
A quarter-page for Security Management about safety concerns for those traveling abroad for work:
Two weeks of the business travel column in the NYTimes – reaction to passengers stranded on a runway for three hours with no air conditioning and why hotel guests are a favorite target for credit card hackers:
Science Times last week was about how brain physiology differs for different personalities (I actually preferred this sketch as an image, but I understand why they chose the other one):
And Science this week was on Zebra Finches and how stronger vocal muscles mean more complex song:
