ROBERT PETERSON PORTFOLIO I am a graphic and traditional artist, having refined my skills through several eclectic ventures. Although I have the education to adhere to tradional practices and to deliver conventionally and professionally appealing design, my strengths lie outside the proverbial “box”. I have a sense for off-kilter, retro, and sometimes bizarre and macabre design. Please enjoy some of the examples contained within.

TYPOGRAPHY

Typographic portraits have become popular. But rather than a simple layer mask, I wanted to “paint” the words into the portrait, with high contrast, potent negative space, and subtle tones in between.

TYPOGRAPHY

A woodtype poster for a performance of Macbeth.

PHOTO MANIPULATION

Album cover for upstart hip hop collaborators. I have worked with this label several times, and have moved from hand-rendered designs to digital for them. This design is fully photo-composite.

PHOTO MANIPULATION AND LOGOThe cover for a calendar featuring roller derby players in the Seattle area. While I was not the photographer for this project, I was in charge of logo creation, as well as color correction and blemish elimination for the entire calendar.

STORYBOARDING

Storyboard for a proposed Pringles commercial. Completely hand-rendered in Prismacolor pencil and liner pens.

ENVIRONMENTAL GRAPHICS

Here, the banners are depicted in the museum’s rotunda.

Banners designed for a fictional Stanley Kubrick exhibit for the London Film Museum. Each banner represents a film by Kubrick.
