NEWSLETTER HEADER The OCIO wanted a new look to their newsletter and fresh ideas. I created this original artwork in Illustrator for the newsletter team.
BUSINESS SERVICES PORTFOLIO This was a large project for the Department of Labor. The initial layout was created and then the information and design was tailored to a final product. Instead or the typical brochure it was organized so you could see topics at first glance. The information was then made available over the web.
COMMUNICATION PLAN This was another project for the Department of Labor. I did a custom illustration for the cover using Illustrator and then merged it into an InDesign file.
STRATEGIC PLAN This was a sister publication to the Communication Plan. Once again, created original artwork using Illustrator and then merged into InDesign.
GREEN GRASS DAIRY One of our projects in college was to create a look for a dairy company. I chose to create a dairy company called Green Grass Dairy. I wanted the product to have a clean look and minimalist qualities. Looking back I would have made all the cows doing some form of activity to convey the idea that grass fed cattle, organic cattle are heathier.
GREEN GRASS DAIRY Part of the dairy project was to design a yogurt product.
VECTOR DRAWING One of the first projects in my Computer Assisted class was to find an object and try to draw it using Illustrator - specifically learning the vector tool. In this image the 2 on the top are photographs. The 2 on the bottom are vector.

20% OFF COUPON A small hair salon in Kansas was promoting 20 years of business. They asked if I could come up with something unique that they could either mail out or give to their customers during a Friday Gallery walk. Whipped up a coupon and bought some hair rollers. They loved it!
POSTER SERIES One of my last projects as a student was to create a series of posters specific to a era or genre of art. I decided on Art Noveau and used the theme of unusaul British slang words. I created the sketch then ran it through various filters and ended up with Humbug! A mint candy!
PURSE CATALOGUE One of my favorite things to do is make creations out of various materials. For this project I sewed several purses using collected materials and then photographed the purses with my friend as the model. I then added vectors and created a catalogue. This project was awarded a scholarship from Leo Burnett.
WINE PROJECT The concept here is to associate relaxation with wine. For this wine bottle I wanted a design that showed the lady relaxing when the bottle was placed on it's side. This was also a college assignment.
