Essex Scenic Coastal Byway Kiosks

Recently installed kiosks for the Essex Scenic Coastal Byway which utilize the byway logo I designed in 2012. These informational kiosks appear in 9 communities all along the 90-mile-long byway. The hardware and panels were designed by Omloop Design based in Framingham, with strong support and direction from stakeholders within the represented communities. The kiosks were fabricated and installed by Design Communications Ltd (DCL).They were installed along the Essex Coastal Scenic Byway at the end of November-early December 2018. The Byway is a state-designated heritage program linking 14 coastal cities and towns from Lynn to Salisbury. These kiosks are a part of a wayfinding signage project that has been ongoing for over a decade with the goal of supporting a tourism-based economic initiative by showcasing the region’s historic, cultural, and natural places. 

The 90-mile route guides visitors and residents through one of the country’s most picturesque and historically significant regions – Boston’s legendary North Shore.

Promotional Materials for "The Spirits Speak"

A 5.5” x 8.5” one-sided handbill and a 2.5” x 7” souvenir ticket I created for “The Spirits Speak” , a recreation of an late 19th-century, Victorian-style seance, that employs many of the tricks and techniques originally used by practitioners of spiritualism. The show was developed and produced by the Essex National Historical Commission, and is designed to not only entertain, but teach some of the history of the local Spiritualist movement that was very popular from the post-Civil War era until the early 20th-century The handbill and ticket are both designed in a late 19th-century style, to stand out and generate attention. The handbill to be handed out on the street, and the ticket to patrons of the show. Both were offset printed in 2-color instead of 4/C process to maintain the vibrancy of the colors.
