This is a logo I created for a fictional company called Global Export.
I used Photoshop and Illustrator for this one. Designs like this are fairly commonplace for corporate identity. Practicing these types of logos is helpful in preparation for real world jobs in the Graphic Design industry.
This is a book cover I designed for an informational text on the HPV virus and how it affects both men AND women. The cover text is taken from a government website. The author's name is fictional and is actually Portuguese for "Wake Up".
I did this for a History of Graphic Design class at the Art Institute.
One art form I have lately fallen in love with is the Poster. Posters have an amazing history dating from the 1800's. The have become an art in their own right and have had a wide range of uses from advertising to propaganda to pure art. This particular piece is a gig poster based on a couple of real bands punk bands that I participated in many years ago as well as a fictional band. The Lounge and the production company are also fabricated for the poster. It is purely art and obviously not functional, but it was allot of fun to make!
The word Shambala has many meanings, from the name of a song to a mystical kingdom in the Himalayas. In the case of this piece, Shambala is defined in Sanskrit as a place of peace, tranquility, and or happiness. This work is a layout for an article in an alternative culture magazine. It was done as an assignment in class and has no corresponding article in actuality. I have an interest in Buddhism myself and that is why I chose this particular subject. The drawing in the background is one of my own, which can be seen on my website as an incomplete project. It worked pretty good in this piece though ;)
I'd love to go to Rome! Mostly for the wine and scenery, not so much for romance.
Here I have a set of ideas for business card, created for the company: Roman Holiday Tours.
These are mostly for the purpose of practicing technique in advertising and representation of a company. I did the work not for profit, but for fun.
