Reed Kroloff the new Director of Cranbrook Academy of Art approached me in November of 2007 and asked me if I would design eleven new posters for the Academy. The posters were to serve as a new catalog for the Art Academy. Beginning on January 1st 2008, I designed and produced one poster a week for twelve weeks. The posters are currently on press.

Each department at Cranbrook is represented by a poster. Rather than exemplify, essentialize or encapsulate each department in it's poster, I attempted to create a holistic picture of the Academy that can only be understood by approaching the posters as a series. No one poster in isolation accurately articulates either the Academy, or the department for which it stands. Rather my goal was to illuminate the trans-disciplinary nature of the academy and within each poster create what I believe to be a very contemporary image space
