DAVID LANG | portfolio
I am a mission-driven graphic designer and marketer in Everett, Washington. I currently reside at WBEC Pacific developing event collateral, social media, and their new website. Previously, I worked at HopeWorks Social Enterprises, designing creative collateral and overseeing various marketing channels for multiple small businesses. I additionally worked at Fluid Motion (Ranger Tugs & Cutwater Boats), Angel Of The Winds Casino Resort, EWU Eagle Store, and the EWU design lab.
Personal Projects
Otter Space Typeface
A monospace typeface I started in 2021 inspired by a project at Fluid Motion. This project was put on hold near completion after I started working at HopeWorks, and finished in 2023. It was inspired by various sci-fi influences such as Star Trek and Mass Effect. I imagine it most prominently being used sparingly, such as the typeface for the name of spaceships on their exteriors.
Dude Cinema Podcast Ratings Fansite
A fansite I made for the Dude Cinema Podcast, where two Australian comedians rate stereotypical film recommendations from men. The website was created from scratch HTML and CSS with some minor Javascript elements. I began listening in Summer of 2020, and the podcast concluded in the Fall of 2023 and was succeeded by the podcast Screen Queens. Screenshots are taken from the desktop, tablet, and mobile versions.
Seattle Pedaling Relief Project Website
This project was built using scratch HTML and CSS over the summer between my employment at Angel Of The Winds and Fluid Motion in 2020. The screenshots represent the color scheme when the site was launched in June 2020. I continued to provide support for the first 3 months after launch until September 2020. Screenshots are from the desktop and mobile version.
Data Visualization - The Rocky Planets
This was a project I crafted in one of my Motion Design classes in college, and earned me a few sensible chuckles during review. Originally, the vision included all eight planets and more general facts such as diameter, temperature, and number of moons. The final version was trimmed down to just the inner planets and one or two fun facts about each to help fit the time frame.
Fight Club and the Origin of the Term "Snowflake"
A project from one of my general Graphic Design classes in college. The goal was to make a complex, double-sided zine that had multiple purposes, and convey a subject matter one cared about. I chose to focus on the story of Fight Club, primarily the film, and the hypocrisy behind how it has been appropriated by right-wing figures who don't are to see the subtext and text itself reflect the opposite of how it is utilized. Below are the final cover and unfolded pages.
Below is the reverse side, which folded out into a stylized poster, along with the interior layout and print files for a band that held the zine together.
Below are photos of printed versions showcasing the cover and reverse side, along with a page of the interior. A last-minute printing error resulted in white spots on the blue ink, but they worked in favor of the piece since they matched the snow theme.

IDEATION is WBEC Pacific's annual technology conference, with 2024's theme all about AI. I was responsible for designing an informational website that was usable on the day of for mobile conference attendees. Below are a gathering of social media posts promoting workshops and events, followed by the IDEATION 2024 website, flyers (8.5" x 11"), and posters (22" x 28").
