The 2004 Yankee Magazine Travel Guide to New England had as its central theme the variety of ethnic foods available in the region. The editors titled it “Around the World in New England”, and I created these travel labels to accompany the mention of each exotic restaurant. This made the spreads a bit more interesting, and we did not have to include the photos of good but unnatractive restaurants.

This story marked the first time I was given the opportunity to actually coordinate an entire project myself. I contacted all the wallpaper manufacturers, selected the samples, styled the room for the shoot, and created the small illustration that gives the name and manufacturer of each pattern on the photo.

Another premium. In this case I made the shopping bag illustrations on both the cover and the inside, as well as the design of the little book.

Another newsstand premium for Yankee Magazine. I drew my inspiration from postwar canning recipe books, and the entire booklet was illustrated with XIXth-century woodcuts.

This poster is part of a series of seasonal guides Yankee Magazine distributed during 2004 and 2005. All fronts were illustrated by Erick Ingraham, while the backs were put together with stock photo and illustrations I made. The first photo displays the poster the way it looked when folded and attached to the magazine on the newsstand.

The cover and a sample spread of Yankee Magazine Travel Guide to New England for 2004. In addition to art directing the book, I handled much of the illustration and inside maps, like the one shown below.

Another beautiful travel spread for Yankee Magazine. I love the way I handle type on this one. Note the credit lines inside the “O” in Cape Cod.

A travel feature for Yankee Magazine published in March of 2003. I like the strong opener, and the fact that on turning the page the reader is confronted by an image that is equally strong. It made the book, which was digest-sized, seem even larger.
