Big Horn BBQ

Website, Type Design, and Illustrations

Fueled by Texas-sized hospitality, Big Horn dish out the finest BBQ, deliver grade-A customer service, and keep things clean as a whistle in a friendly, family-style setting for the folks in our communities. Big Horn is not just a restaurant, it’s a tight-knit second home for the staff where excellence and warmth intersect.

When tasked to refresh Big Horn’s website, we identified the need to refresh its brand messaging. Without changing its locally known bullhorn logo, we infused a new ethos to the brand by introducing wit to the website copywriting, rendered in newly custom-designed typeface, BH Classy. We also designed illustrations that compliment the new tone of voice, each time combining 2 objects into a playful new icon that looks great on their own and as a wallpaper.

Boston Lyric Opera Season Artworks

Boston Lyric Opera

Boston Lyric Opera’s mission is to inspire, entertain, and connect the community through compelling opera performances, programs, and gatherings.

We were tasked with designing a cohesive visual branding system for the Opera and its 2022-23 and 2023-24 seasons, along with distinct concept art for each of four opera productions for each season. For the Opera as a whole, our brand refresh included the creation of a new BLO logo and typeface. For each production, we developed a unique typography language and matching color palette, as well as design elements reflecting their distinctive themes and concepts.

At the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in New York, Poster House teamed up with PRINT magazine, Times Square Arts, and For Freedoms to launch a citywide public art campaign featuring PSAs and messages of love, gratitude, and solidarity with New York City’s frontline workers.

Assembly: Civic Design Guidelines

Center for Active Design

Awards

  • GDUSA 2018 American Graphic Design Awards

Produced in close collaboration with the Center for Active Design, “Assembly: Civic Design Guidelines” is a groundbreaking playbook for creating well-designed and well-maintained public spaces. The guidelines encapsulate four years of research—involving over 200 studies, 50 cities, and dozens of experts—highlighting the role of public spaces as a force for building trust and healing divisions in local communities.

We designed the published guidelines to incorporate vibrant colors and simple hand-drawn illustrations to help explain the significance of these research findings in simple terms, along with practical methods that policymakers can adopt to bring about great public spaces for all.
