0-60mag.com

0-60mag.com, a site about fast cars created by people who want the same thing you do—something different. 0-60mag.com is turning a deaf ear to that humdrum drummer. This isn’t some esoteric indulgence that has nothing to do with cars and belongs in some hipster rag. The site still dorks out on tire compounds and compressor-wheel sizes. The content is very real and focuses strictly on the things you want to know about: fast cars, the parts that make ‘em faster and the lifestyle that goes with it, all presented with a sense of style. O-60 Magazine launches May 2007.

The Kids In The Hall - The Complete First Season

This Emmy nominated series with a brilliant knack for turning the mundane into the surreal, and a dangerous willingness to explore the darker sides of comedy, debuts on DVD! All 20 episodes from the premiere season of THE KIDS IN THE HALL are collected here–by popular demand–on DVD for the first time ever.

Jason co-designed and art directed this A&E produced DVD set, working closely with the creative director and designers at Sanpan Design.

Carnivale: The complete first season

CARNIVALE follows a traveling carnival as it wends its way across the Dust Bowl, focusing on Ben Hawkins, a mysterious 18-year-old fugitive with hidden talents who is taken in by the carnival, and Brother Justin, the charismatic, shadowy evangelist who will ultimately cross his path. The series takes place at a time of worldwide unrest, with evil on the rise around the globe and the Great Depression wreaking economic and social havoc here at home. A HBO orginial Series.

Jason worked closely with Sanpan Design Creative Director Maureen Panzera on the concept, art, and graphic design for this HBO project.
