The selected quote is from Wendell Berry.
The concept was to create an abstract representation of the earth using wood type, and only using letters that make up the word “earth”. The quote was placed in the center of the design using metal type.
Hello, I'm Dave Harper. I'm a graphic designer residing in Newburgh, Indiana. I have been creating graphic design for web, print and motion projects since 2002. My experience ranges from having worked in an small advertising agency as a web and graphic designer, to working in a large web team environment as an interactive art director. I hold an MFA in graphic design from Indiana University. Currently, I am an instructor of visual communication, and work as an independent web and graphic designer.
Besides my professional life, I am a husband to Heather; a father to Lucy, Truman, and Penelope.
Graphic design is: Communicating a message, simplifing complicated information or ideas, and solving problems. Design is not tied to a specific medium, only to that form that elevates the content and is appropriate for the message.
This web site is a channel for my ideas and portfolio. Do you have a project that needs my help? Send me the details here.
