Integrated Branding Program 1 Diti Katona/John Pylypczak, art directors Andrew Cloutier/Jordan Poirier/ John Pylypczak, designers Underware, typography Concrete Design Communications Inc. (Toronto, Canada), design firm Masterfile, client “Masterfile had an image problem. The largest remaining independent stock image agency was perceived by its clients as being too conservative. Concrete produced a new visual identity, advertising program, Web site and a broad range of marketing materials. Key to this campaign strategy was the development of directmail pieces that challenged the conventions of typical stock image agencies. The centerpiece of this effort was the launch of ‘Unbound,’ a collection of images real and implied.”

Environmental Graphics 1 Lonny Israel/Brad Thomas/ Patricia Yeh, designers Kye Archuleta/Michael Duncan/ Craig Hartman, architects Skidmore, Owings & Merrill LLP (San Francisco, CA), design firm Chongqing Finance Street Holding Co., Ltd., client “When Chongqing set out to breathe new life into its commercial center, the foggy riverfront city in China probably didn’t have this dynamic, eight-story building/graphic in mind. Taking a cue from the surrounding cacophony of billboards, the mixed-use building integrates a triad system to create a continuously changing façade. Programmed to randomly morph, the graphic—an urban flower box—greets visitors with a message of confidence and promise.”

2 Tom Riddle, art director Mitch Morse/Tom Riddle, designers Dan Bryant/Dennie Wendt, writers David Odusanya, creative director Trevor Graves, photographer Kevin Rose, production artist Brooke Zueck, producer Make (Portland, ME), ad agency Nike, Inc., client “The goal was to surround the Niketown retail experience to promote two key initiatives prior to the Tour de France. The first was to raise awareness and funds for The Lance Armstrong Foundation. Yellow Live Strong wristbands were sold at all Niketown stores and online at wearyellow.com. The second initiative was to promote Lance’s quest for an unprecedented sixth consecutive Tour de France win, which he later accomplished.”

Location: Concord, California (in the San Francisco Bay Area).

3

Duration: Seven years, two of those seven in the Bay Area.

Staff: One, with an amazing support

group of agents, my wife and children.

Education: BFA Utah State University, 1998; currently enrolled in Syracuse University’s ISDP Masters of illustration program.

Cultural Influences: Artists and people

make culture, and the following people have influenced me tremendously: Joseph Solman, Stenberg Brothers, Brad Holland, Margaret Kilgallen, Steve Richins, Simon Blundell, Erik DeWaal, Glen Edwards, Rene Gruau, Kate Miller, Murray Tinkelman, John Thompson, my wife, and mom and dad.

Environment: I have converted a bedroom

at home into a studio, where on one side I have my digital workspace and on the other my drawing table where I paint.

I don’t enjoy working in solitude, so I have set up a table in the room for my daughter and son to paint on. They keep me company.

Philosophy: Three quotes: “Complete

control can be the death of a work” —Andy Goldsworthy; “Live in daytight compartments”—my dad (Don Kilpatrick, Jr.); “Sometimes it’s art, sometimes it’s work”—Gene Hackman.
