It’s an iconic solution that echoes the company's name—which conjures enough \"break\" imagery on its own.")

The goal was to find a balance between the rough, indy approach to filmmaking, and the professional, corporate-friendly side of the business.")

Wanting to come up with a more unique solution (and avoid the reference to Hewlett Packard), I discovered that the ubiquitous swimming pool ladder could work well as the H, especially since the shape is reminiscent of uncial fonts. This worked to suggest \"Heroic\" in a \"chivalry\" sort of way, but with a more modern comics styling.")

This new platform allows composers to build music in segments that can be shuffled or juxtaposed with endless variety. Songs created here have a life of their own, and provide a different experience with each listen. This 'infinite' potential, mixed with the idea that 'the songs have a life of their own' resulted in this chromosome concept.
The chromosome implies multiple generations descending from an original 'parent' song. The circular curves not only hint at 'infinity', but they mimic the primary interface that allows the listener to adjust the variables programmed into each song. They also resulted in an S shape, which I seized on to develop the custom logotype.
The logotype features mirrored curves in certain pairs of letterforms, further implying this notion of multiple, similar offspring.")

According to other sources, they're harder workers and more creative. This mead brewery chose the name because mead has been a sortof forgotten relative of beer and wine in recent history. With the CH's input, I developed this confident teenager, strutting home with his next project.")

Mahatma means “great-souled”, and is a title reserved for the highly revered. Gandhi, I learned, was but one of many mahatmas throughout history, but all seem to share a peaceful, almost holy, sage-like quality. The mudra, or hand pose, we most often associate with meditation is used here tongue-in-cheek style; the forefinger is actually a reflection of the thumb on a device screen.")
Sobre
Form follows function. Wisdom before beauty. Define the problem before designing the solution. I strive to create designs that are simple, elegant, thoughtful and specific, backed by strong supporting rationale. I’m a brand and marketing designer, and a freelance art director with 25 years’ experience in graphic design and illustration. Problem-finding, problem-solving, and honesty in visual communication are why I go to work every day.
