Blade Media Productions
Project: Logo Concept
Tools: Adobe Illustrator & Adobe Photoshop
Details: This is a logo concept for a friend's media production company. The idea is that a blade sliced right through the logo. I am currently working on additional designs based on the same concept.
Delicious Knowledge
Project: Logo, Website Design & Character Illustration
Tools: Adobe Illustrator & Adobe Photoshop
Details: I created a logo, website design, and character illustration for Delicious Knowledge. We needed the logo to be playful, yet still be taken seriously as a business identity while conveying the overall brand message of helping readers maintain a healthy lifestyle.
The DC Green Connection
Project: Logo
Tools: Adobe Illustrator & Adobe Photoshop
Details: The overall goal was to design a modern identity that helps create a friendly atmosphere. The DC Green Connection is a social network in the Washington DC area, and this logo will be used in print and on the web to spread their message of green living.
Out of the Box
Project: Logo
Tools: Adobe Illustrator & Adobe Photoshop
Details: Out of the Box is a business that specializes in scrapbooking and creative memories. Most people keep their old photos in a shoebox, and those old photos are visually represented by the Polaroid graphic.
RampQuest
Project: Unused Logo Concept
Tools: Adobe Illustrator & Adobe Photoshop
Details: This is an unused concept for a website that allows users to search a directory of wheelchair-accessible locations by city, category, name, etc. and rate their accessibility.
Virginia Breast Cancer Foundation
Project: Billboard, Bus Ads, Ambient Media
Tools: Adobe Photoshop
Details: This project was created during a 24-hour design marathon at VCU called CreateAthon On Campus.
My team worked with the Virginia Breast Cancer Foundation to help them with their marketing. We decided the best strategy was to inform and empower Virginia women by reminding them that they are still in control.
Smith & Wesson
Project: Print Advertisement
Tools: Adobe Illustrator & Adobe Photoshop
Details: I created this advertisement while I was studying at Virginia Commonwealth University. I wanted to show that Smith & Wesson is so confident with the accuracy of their guns, you could shoot the wings off a fly.
There were three advertisements in this campaign, each featuring a smaller and smaller target.
Crayola
Project: Print Advertisement
Tools: Adobe Illustrator & Adobe Photoshop
Details: This is another project I created while studying at VCU. My client was Crayola and I wanted to show that every great artists had to start somewhere.
Other advertisements in this campaign: Michelangelo's Creation of Adam and Pablo Picasso's The Old Guitarist, both recreated with crayons.
