@eythorbender Portraits by @Dubadesign for #TEDMED. Great work!
I’ve been traveling to Alexander Isley‘s studio in Connecticut, to work on the TED MED conference program. We designed 50+ unique portraits for each speaker. The design process was very experimental. I photographed black and white portraits on the tv/computer screen to get the moiré pattern effect. Typically this is something photographers try to avoid. But, it allowed each one to be a unique, and the effect added depth and texture to the flat black art. I then added color overlays behind the black and spotted them with white line art for more texture. Portraits recognized in the CADC Excellence Award as the portrait Illustrator for TED MED 2011.
