Business Card 6/11

This is the design I created for my current business card. I created the ligature on the front of the card from my initials.

Business Cards & Logo Design

This was an exploration in logo design. The top set was for my brother's woodworking business, which no longer operates under this name, (oh well). Below is for my hopefully-one-day-not-so-fictional graphic and website design business.

Portrait 12/10

This is a portrait of my daughter which was created in Illustrator. It is not what would be considered the classic Illustrator style, where the various tones are broken down into more obvious shapes. I worked, instead, with the gradient mesh tool, to create a more fluid, realistic image. This method was extremely time consuming, and somewhat tedious at times, but I was satisfied with the results. Unfortunately I spent so much time on the subject that I had very little time or energy left for the background, and I had a deadline. So the background is very stiff in comparison.

Poster 10/10


This assignment was to create a poster/document about an artist of our choice. The objectives of this project were to wrap the images with text, and to copy the artists style using the illustrator tools. As you can see from the photos, Wodiczko's earlier work was creating the Homeless Vehicle, so I recreated that in the lower right hand corner of the page. His more recent work involves large projections on public monuments, ergo the slide projector in the lower right hand corner projecting his name onto the upper left hand corner.
