Fragmento!

 The author needed a cover design that reflected the fragmented nature of the stories in his mind/book. This is what I felt did just that.

 

PEM Case Statement & collateral

Bohoy Design created a 200th anniversary logo and signature for the Peabody Essex Museum which they used as their icon until the development of their new branding and museum expansion.

For this expansion PEM hired Bohoy Design to create a case statement to help raise the $125 million needed.
The final result was a portfolio of colorful, interrelated pieces that represented the vision of the director and what the “new” museum would be.

To market the new museum and also it’s unique Chinese House [YYT], which was brought over from China and reassembled on their newly transformed museum campus, two informational brochures were produced by Bohoy Design.

For the novel "Ghost Ship" by Lori Townsend, Johanna did a pastel painting of a ship enveloped by ghostly mists and clouds, in an ink-dark night, on an eery roiling sea. The thriller depicts reporter Zilla Gillette who investigates the human trafficking of young girls and boys who have been abducted and carried by a vessel at sea to a hidden location.

Johanna used her painting, done in 2008 to symbolize the commencement of Obama's presidency, for the cover of the novel "American Home Wrecker" by Lori Townsend. 

The book is a depiction of the white supremacist underworld in America, as well as a look at domestic violence investigated by reporter Zilla Gillette.

For the cover design she ripped the art apart to simulate what the "home wreckers" in the book have attempted to do– divide America, abolish what our first African American president had accomplished, and to create tumult in America.

In celebration of the anniversary of jazz great Dizzy Gillespie's 100th birthday, author David G. Brown wrote "Shadowing Dizzy Gillespie" which chronicled his intimate and memorable experiences with this magical musician.  He needed a cover. Result: Johanna's illustration of balloon cheeked Dizzy depicts the spot lights of performing with the author in his shadow.

A Timeline

Financial Group Welch & Forbes turned 175 years old and needed a historical piece to celebrate their growth from 1838 to now.
Bohoy Design created a continuous timeline throughout a 12 page booklet that captured the history and highlights of the company. It is used in print and digitally. See the whole timeline here:

Book cover

2  men's lives changed forever one fateful evening when an argument on an

interstate highway ended in a crossbow killing by a respected deacon.
The compelling story is told in the book "Deacon's Crossbow" 

by David G. Brown.
BOHOY DESIGN was commissioned to design the cover and utilized a haunting cross of light to depict the subject.

Market to Market

Johanna's painting "Farmstand" was used on the cover of the just published book by Merry Stetson Hall- BRINGING FOOD HOME: THE MAINE EXAMPLE. "It weaves together the narrative derived from about 100 interviews with Maine's farmers, gardeners, fisherfolk, and local food advocates. The picture that emerges reveals how small family farming in Maine has developed into an integrated ecological, economic, educational, political, philosophical, and community building phenomenon. It shows how the local food community can help to bring healing to the earth, healthful food to our tables, sanity to our economics, sustainable prosperity to our communities, and a peaceable lifestyle to humanity."

Labor Day- Restoration

The International Yacht Restoration School in Newport, RI does just that. They bring beautiful boats back to their original glory. William H. Combs, a prominent collector of miniature museum quality ship models by renowned marine artists Donald McNarry and Lloyd McCaffrey, donated his collection to be exhibited at their renovated mill building.

BOHOY DESIGN was called on deck to design and produce the 64 page book/catalog written by R. Michael Wall of the American Marine Model Gallery, that showcases the extraordinary collection.
The result is shown above.

Bohoy in Book

Four packaging designs by Bohoy Design were featured in a new book “Color Management for Packaging” by John Drew & Sarah Meyer, California State University. All aspects of compelling communication through color in packaging are explored from issues of standout, impact and legibility, emotional response to color, and appetite rating.

April Showers bring May flowers...

and, sometimes bring a rainbow.

BOHOY DESIGN designed and produced this colorful 160 page book/catalog for the Peabody Essex Museum's exhibit "Painted with Thread," which won an award from the NE Museum Publications Assoc.
