BEHIND THE MONITOR
Howdy! My name is Sean Baker. I’m a 24-year-old designer from the vast corn-surrounded metropolis of Columbus, Ohio. I make people + their products look good. I also love Penn State football, listening to music, traveling and working out.
From professional organizations to fitness models and beyond, I’ve helped a broad list of clients achieve a winning look. I’m a creative director, one of the Capsize duo, and an advocate for direction within the design community.
CONCEPT FOR // Edmonton Eskimos, a professional football organization in the CFL
DIRECTION // To create a more fierce + aggressive identity system; link the logo and palette to what people expect football in Edmonton to be like, which is cold (colors) and unforgiving
WHAT’S HAPPENING
Been a long time since I’ve made an update, and for that I apologize. With a new website looming, blog attached, I promise that it will get better! I have a lot of new work I’m looking forward to featuring.
A lot has happened since the last update. I’m now working for a new company in Austin, Texas, whom I’m keeping disclosed until the launch of the new website. I direct + manage their creative branch. It’s been great working with like-minded, ambitious, in-the-know people, and the client list isn’t too shabby either. Also, I’m now on the board for AIGA Raleigh, working alongside my friend Brett Buddin on web direction for the chapter. He and I have had a great few months in the community, and as always, I appreciate all the nice messages! Stay tuned for a new website soon!
