the KARNES POSTER COMPANY
Meg J. Roberts is an artist and jewelry designer in Richmond, Virginia. She often utilizes line as a structural element in her work, from the wire armatures of her fabric installations to the die-cut linework of her animal-inspired jewelry pieces. This poster is an interpretation of the evolution from sketch to physical piece. It was designed as a gift so that she would have something to announce the addition of new fine art and craft work to her website.

For better or worse, sometimes I get to be my own client. This poster was designed to announce a workshop conducted at Virginia Tech. It's an esoteric interpretation of my process–one that probably only makes sense to me. Though the end-products are composed digitally, each of my concepts finds its initial form through physical interaction with paper, an x-acto, and excessive amounts of scotch tape.

This poster was designed to announce an open house for Spatial Affairs Bureau, an architecture firm with offices in both the United States and United Kingdom. A large portion of their design process involves digital rendering. I was interested in capturing this unique conceptual and formal process by––alright, I just wanted to illustrate a building being designed in outer space. Get it? Spatial Affairs. Sometimes the dumbest concepts are my favorite.

Polosko Custom Woodworks is a high-end custom cabinetry and furniture company. This poster announces an open house and small exhibit of their more unusual custom pieces. The concept is based on the cutting diagrams used to plan each project, in which each 4x8 sheet of plywood is sectioned off for different pieces of the finished cabinets. The poster is a loose interpretation of this process, as sheets are being cut and the rough pieces stacked.

Charles Yeager is a craftsman with a background in industrial design. His studio approaches metal fabrication as an extension of the design process and often collaborates with architects and interior designers. This poster was designed to announce his first Open Studio, in which visitors can tour the shop and see examples the company's work in progress. The poster interprets Yeager's design and fabrication process. The plus sign in the company's name is in the process of being designed and constructed, from CAD drawings through to metal construction.

Tree Scout is a broker of rare trees for architects, developers, and homeowners. This poster (which showcases a corresponding new visual identity system) hangs in the waiting area of their office. Like the identity, it was designed to be playful but sophisticated–and approachable to everyone from a homeowner to landscape architect. The 'story' is pretty straightforward–the squirrel moving its way from map to landscape searching out the perfect tree.
