Fugue (fyMuMug) is a progressive lifestle/culture magazine featuring an eclectic mix of music, fashion with lowbrow fashion; traditional with progressive; essentially it is a magazine that incorporates all of these elements and brings them to the fore in a way that accentuates not their differences but their similarities Fugue aims to communicate a consciousness about how different facets of culture come together and spark new ideas and ways of expression.

I was commissioned by Nursery Works to design a contemporary abstract floral pattern for their line of accessories and bed sheet collection, which consisted of 100% cotton poplin bedding. In collaboration, Lawson-Fenning and I developed a fun pattern in unexpected palettes. I have composed uncommon visual vocabularies that were derived from common objects, nature, and everyday things. These charming and colorful prints will delight the eyes of all ages – the swaddling of choice for the 21st-century’s offspring for up-to-the-minute parents.

The passion and drive, that fuels vision as a way of life, is what pushes theDESIGNERSbureau to build new avenues for exploration, to create momentum that can propel creation and the product of that effort into new directions.

Pornchai Mittongtare Originating from Thailand, Pornchai Mittongtare brought with him an artistic sense that reflects the majesty of his country. From his simple beginnings, Pornchai Mittongtare was able to develop a complex yet skillfully constructed style when he studied photography at Art Center College of Design. His photographs reflect an extensively coordinated and carefully structured vision. Each image results from meticulous planning combined with precision in technique.
Pornchai Mittongtare creates simple and elegant images that seemed as though they come from a perfect world. The essence of each object is given importance yet each object harmonizes with another to create a flawless symphony of color and shape. The composition of his photographs provides a frame in which forgotten objects come to life and ordinary images become extraordinary.
When Seasons recordings approached me to work on launching their new clothing line “Seasons cloth”, we weren’t only faced with the challenge of creating clothing lines that express the nature of Seasons Recording’s music, but also in creating a voice that would set Seasons Cloth apart from other youth clothing brands.
Keywords such as Nature, Organic, City and Sound were picked to describe the seasons. These keywords later became fundamental to the clothing line. Although we were intially invited to work on the clothing section of Seasons, we saw an opportunity to use clothing as a bigger vehicle to brand Seasons as a company, instead of just a recording label.
I presented the “Beautiful For the Ugly”, which expressed the true beauty of nature in living in mixed city environments. This core message later convinced the owner and founder of Seasons, Jamie Thinnes, to give us the green light to approach branding for the whole company.
This poster was created for the United Nations campaign, as part of an effort to increase awareness of the danger of existing landmines around the world. The objective was not to simply show the horrifying effects of the explosion or torn body parts, but to express this concern in a poetic way. We wanted to educate the public in a language that even children could understand. This poster was chosen by the United Nations committee as a winner over 1000 posters that were entered in the competition.
An estimated 2.7 million people died in Cambodia from 1975-1979. I was lucky to survive. Everyday I thank God for giving me a second chance at life. This poster is my way of expressing and honoring the thousands of Khmer people who died or were executed in the rice fields. I decided to make this poster as minimal as possible which symbolized this by placing bullets as part of the rice seeds that blossom and letting the poster speak for itself.
