Tyler Durden

I hope anyone who reads this pos­ter can recog­nize where the quote is from. It has long time been a favo­rite of mine. The dark­ness of the quote itself is con­tras­ted against this beau­ti­ful french renais­sance face, and that from the gritty, pissed-on conc­rete wall behind it — again con­tras­ted by sin­gle, sta­ted snowflake.

Mini Con­test!

I already twee­ted it, but as a sort of mini con­test and a way for me to inte­ract with my rea­dership, I’m giving away a print of this pos­ter to a ran­domly selec­ted com­ment below. Con­test ends Tues­day the 24th.

    Nice one Alan, Maybe the con­test should have been to leave your favo­rite Tyler quote. I’ll have to remem­ber that for next time.

    Any chance you can release a hi-def pdf or png of this so I can print out a wee one to put on my wall?

    I would apprei­cate it.

    Keep tuned Aro­mis, I’ve been con­si­de­ring ope­ning a shop on the site. When that hap­pens, this print will be one of the first items available.

From an early age Travis could be found with a sketch pad trying to capture the beauty and structure in the world around him. This desire to engage and create stayed with him. In his Adolescence he was able to find solid footing for his childhood passion by creating posters, flyers, web sites, t-shirts and album covers for his and other local bands. It was during this time that Travis decided on the direction of his life’s work.

As a Creative Director, Travis has been recognized by the American Federation of Advertisers, the International Association of Business Communicators and the Association of American Marketing. His designs have been featured in national magazines, branding textbooks and influential design websites. In his role at BRAINtrust Marketing he is responsible for all design and creative direction for the client portfolios. From websites and advertisements to annual reports and brochures, Travis brings his creativity and fine eye for design to produce world-class commercial art.

He is married to the love of his life, and in his spare time he tells jokes that are only moderately funny.
