  New York-based artist Monika Weiss' exhibition catalogue "Monika Weiss: Vessels" was published in 2004 by Chelsea Art Museum in New York. "Monika Weiss: Vessels" included installation "Limen Meadow" in collaboration with Stephen Vitiello, video and sound sculpture "White Chaclie (Ennoia)," series of drawings, and video documentation of earlier works. The exhibition was curated by Nina Colosi. We created a simple and clean design intended to showcase her work and create interest in her show.

  BG+H is a leader in the rapidly evolving world of business-to-business magazines, covering a diverse range of issues and industries. American Builders Quarterly, for instance, profiles the construction industry's leading residential, commercial and real estate companies, while Hispanic Executive Quarterly focuses on the successes and techniques of Hispanic entrepreneurs. Killswitch designed a versatile brand system and layout that established a cohesive structure across all publications. Clean, sophisticated typography, as well as a rigid grid system that allows for dynamic image placement, help to set the magazines apart from their competitors and to establish a distinctive brand for the company.

  Killswitch was hired by NIKEiD to build and produce a series of banners in conjunction with Team Colors and the campaign for "Before You Wear the Colors, You Have To Be A Team." These flash banners included interactivity that allowed athletes across the board to customize the best Nike kicks to match their team colors. Users were then directed to the Nike shoe builder website where they could finalize their selection and purchase their custom shoes. This 2008 campaign will canvass 13 major websites over the course of several weeks. View Animation 1+ / View Animation 2+

  Continuing our relationship with UCSD, we've created our fourth season brochure for the university's 2010-2011 ArtPower! Multi-Arts Season. ArtPower! is the University of California at San Diego's most energetic compilation of music, dance and spoken word. The program provides exciting opportunities for the UCSD and San Diego communities to engage in discovery and dialogue with creative innovators in the arts.
