DANIEL HERTZBERG: CONCEPT CONNOISSEUR

DANIEL HERTZBERG FOR CAR + DRIVER

SKETCH WORK

This was a full-pager for last month's issue of Car and Driver. The article was about a new line of Jeeps that have been released. The art director wanted it to feel like a propaganda poster, with reference to the outdoorsy-ness of Jeeps- hence the mountains in the background. Reference was provided by the art director.

DANIEL HERTZBERG FOR THE NEW YORK TIMES

SKETCH WORK

It was an honor to do an illustration for the New York Times a few weeks ago. It was the biggest piece I've ever done for them (about 9.5" square). The article was about the music site Spotify, which has tens of millions of songs available for free, all within "the cloud." The article also had a classical music twist, so I thought music notes raining down from the clouds would be very appropriate. Hopefully there's the sense of limitless amounts of music in this. The Spotify brand is green, so we kept it that way.

SCOTTY REIFNSNYDER ON THE COVER OF COMMON GROUND MAGAZINE

 We are very excited to see Scotty Reifsnyder’s work featured in the recent issue of Common Ground Magazine! Scotty’s colorful work looks amazing on the cover and throughout the article Common interests, Common communities. We are pleased to share some of the process resulting in these striking images, as we have a couple of the artist's initial sketches. Scotty says that both sketches were ideas for the front cover, but the client liked them so well that one of them was used with the article inside the magazine. Check out the final images and the sketches below!

SHAW NIELSEN MAPS OUT DINING HOT SPOTS FOR THE UNIVERSITY OF DENVER

This map of Denver was created for the University of Denver Alumni Magazine to highlight the growing number of gastronomic delights owned by DU alumni.

The final file was left layered so that the designer could pull out various elements of the map to feature as spot illustrations throughout the article.

ANTHONY FREDA FOR THE NEW YORK TIMES ARTICLE, "OUR CHEATING PSYCHES"

"Nancy Moore called me on Wednesday and asked if I could do a piece for the cover of N.Y. Times Week In Review by Friday. (a pretty generous deadline by Times standards). The story was originally titled "The Chump Factor", and it's about the desire to not become a chump as a rationale for cheating. Art director John Cohoe thought my concept of a poker player being seen as a clown by his cheating opponent hit the mark. I created a couple of versions with different palettes that seemed to work with the clown motif, and John picked the blue-green art for the final piece."
