Postique, a Southfield-based full-service postproduction house that is a division of Grace & Wild, Inc., has added graphic artist Sevrin Henderson to its design group.
Since late 97, Henderson has been freelancing as a graphic artist, working at Postique, among other places. In that capacity, he has contributed to such Postique projects as spots for Mercury Cougar, Lincoln Mercury, Mazda and Ski-Doo. Previously, Henderson was employed as a graphic artist at Mackie Designs in Woodville, Wash.
Postique VP/managing director Hugh Broder related the company has made a concentrated effort to reshape the perception of the Detroit graphics and design marketplace to attract more design/graphics work from agencies and their national accounts. I believe weve come a long way toward reaching that goal, said Broder. We have an extraordinary pool of talent and consequently were attracting work that one might find making its way to New York or California. Sevrin brings another dimension to our already diversely talented group.
Henderson began his career in print graphics and production. He came upon motion graphics when friend and colleague Bobby Hougham enlisted his assistance on a motion project. I was completely lured in by motion graphics, said Henderson. I loved working on the equipment and experimenting with the mediums capabilities.
When he was given the opportunity to take the position with Postique, Henderson said, it made sense to him to form a more official relationship with the company. Postique is different than traditional post houses, said Henderson. Theyre design-driven and have a unique, creatively-gifted design group. I find the combination compelling and refreshing.
