This was a promotional poster I was asked to make for Ink Magazine's Cyber Print release event. It features a man holding a dog being integrated into a quantum computer. I used a human form to draw eyes to the poster. The Cyber print release features themes of synthetic meaning, ironicism, identity in the digital age, and ambiguous authenticity. All of which are reflected here by the play between the man, his dog, and the computer subsuming him. For this project I began with a photo collage of a man holding a dog, a quantum computer, wire textures, and cloth textures. I then connected these images through vector illustration. I brought the intial images back in and applied a threshold filter for texture.

On this project I contributed the title Graphic including the scans of the broken CD as well as the typesetting and layout for the project. There are a series of standards for each Ink Magazine print release. I worked with a prefabricated InDesign grid and ordered information based on our style guide. The abstract graphics were made by Tyga Martin and the article was written by Mason Rowley. Mason had deviated from standard format with this article by adding footnotes which I integrated cleanly into the reading experience, arranging the graphics so that they stayed out of the way of paragraphs and their respective footnote sections. Tyga asked me to keep a blue to red gradient throughout the piece and to make the work feel more intense as the reader moved through the pages.
