2008 Design Contest Winner - Aubrey Johnson
Aubrey Johnson is from Cape May, NJ. and was raised there before moving in 2001 with family to the Isle of Palms. He joined the Air Force about a year after moving here and traveled all over, then transferring to the Reserves to pursue college studies.
He graduated from Trident Technical College in August with an AA in Commercial Graphics with an emphasis in Digital Media and will be attending the Art Institute of Atlanta in October of this year.
He has done graphic work, mostly web design, for a variety of clients here in Charleston. Some of the clients include Salon Couture, b'zar, Lesesne, Atkinson Pools and Spas, and Blue Moon Events to name a few.
He started in art courses because he loved making web sites and realized there was more to it than just code. Making the sites aesthetically appealing became his newfound goal.
Some influences in his art education and career thus far have been Herb Lubadin (a typographer), Piet Mondrian, Lee Brimlowe, Andy Warhol, and Mark Rothko.
He actually first heard about the Bridge Run from someone mentioning Bill Murray was running it. The race in April 2008 will be his very first Bridge Run!
The inspiration for his entry came from a few things. The colors came from the brilliant sky colors one can see driving to and from Mount Pleasant. The type was inspired by various things he likes about Charleston. The text on the bottom has a new but colonial feel, which is again something he admires about Charleston and the script font is reminiscent of River Dogs baseball games. The sports theme thus achieved fits in well with this premier running event.
