Over ten years of experience in both Boston and New York. The design work has benefited from my knowledge of other creative industries, (theatre, fine arts, film, music) lending me a unique perspective on directing campaigns in a variety of media. |

(The Saturday Players)
"Rik knew just what I was looking for. He brought a lot of ideas to the table, and helped me express my ideas so much more clearly and effectively."
-Lisa Gardner, Director; "Unidentified"

(KairOs! Company)
One sheet and postcard for independent one act comedy. Client was very pleased with the final result and the speed with which I rendered the final image, while exceeding the marketer's concept for the show.
|
 |
(The Flying Queens)
"Rik's design are genius. When you want the best, see Rik."
- Anne Moore
They loved the comic book idea but did not want to resemble the "way too buff" hard edged-machismo look; and also keep the whimsy so as to NOT confuse people that it was a night of comedy.

"Rik worked with us until we got exactly what we wanted...the quality was excellent."

Front and back of promotional postcard for comedy group, compare them with the comic book versions! (except the one dressed as a man in this picture) great photo by the one and only Mark Mann.

(Universal Obscurities)
One sheet for theatrical adaptation of "Dracula" by Bram Stoker. Actors in the show modeled for accuracy.
I scanned the illustrations and used Photoshop for other elements and coloring, with final layout in Quark.
The most accurate adaptation for the stage of Stoker's work.

Another poster for the all female sketch comedy group.
They changed members, So I added a new "superhero" based on her.

(Great Tan!, Inc.)
Client wanted a James Bond look and a black and white theme to emphasize the before and after aspect of tanning. I utilized a shot from a previous modeling session, and it's all in Photoshop. He was very happy with this, and it was also utilized for light box display
