Design Philosphy

Mayan/Zapotec numerals appear as page markers to identify the Zapotec influence stated by the Zapotec glyph in the upper center of the page, with Monte Albán fading into the background. The "Lars Theoderik" logo below was created using Scandinavian runes to express a Viking influence that is planned for future development of the Design division of Publick Man. Future projects will express a combination of Viking and Mesoamerican motifs.
