Sometimes a designer needs a concept and a few extra sketches.

So that’s my art. As much as Rothko wanted the viewer to be consumed by his art, so too was he consumed by this single form of expression. The handwriting is my best attempt to forge Rothko’s; the source is just one scribbled note I found. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/67298/1934395/Red.jpeg" width="670" height="914" width_o="670" height_o="914" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/67298/1934395/Red_o.jpeg" data-mid="9588104" border="0" align="left"/> http://buchino.net/Cymbeline http://buchino.net/following/buchino.net/Cymbeline Wed, 31 Aug 2011 04:27:24 +0000 Michael Buchino 1934324 Role: Art Direction, Illustration Client: Portland Center Stage Year: 2011 Shakespeare’s Amazing Cymbeline has a wager, forbidden love, a fake death by magic potion, lost sons of royalty, an evil stepmother, tension over who will wear the crown and more. In other words, it’s every Shakespeare play ever rolled into one. The adaptor/director wanted to convey King Cymbeline’s grotesque world (think Game of Thrones, not Cinderella) and the prevailing gossip and political discourse of the day: who will inherit the throne? <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/67298/1934324/Cymbeline-5.5x7.5.jpg" width="670" height="914" width_o="670" height_o="914" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/67298/1934324/Cymbeline-5.5x7.5_o.jpg" data-mid="9602521" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/67298/1934324/Cymbeline-5.5x7.5-no-title.jpg" width="670" height="914" width_o="670" height_o="914" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/67298/1934324/Cymbeline-5.5x7.5-no-title_o.jpg" data-mid="9602542" border="0" align="left"/> http://buchino.net/University-of-Insubria http://buchino.net/following/buchino.net/University-of-Insubria Sun, 08 May 2011 06:57:42 +0000 Michael Buchino 964653 Role: Design Client: University of Insubria Year: 2007 Simply: I laid out the curricula and syllabi books for University of Insubria schools of Sciences, Medicine, Economics and Law. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/67298/964653/Insubria-1.png" width="670" height="335" width_o="670" height_o="335" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/67298/964653/Insubria-1_o.png" data-mid="6878010" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/67298/964653/Insubria-2.png" width="670" height="335" width_o="670" height_o="335" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/67298/964653/Insubria-2_o.png" data-mid="6878011" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/67298/964653/Insubria-5.png" width="670" height="335" width_o="670" height_o="335" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/67298/964653/Insubria-5_o.png" data-mid="6878014" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/67298/964653/Insubria-3.png" width="670" height="335" width_o="670" height_o="335" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/67298/964653/Insubria-3_o.png" data-mid="6878012" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/67298/964653/Insubria-4.png" width="670" height="335" width_o="670" height_o="335" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/67298/964653/Insubria-4_o.png" data-mid="6878013" border="0" align="left"/>
