Graphic Design
Over the past 25 years, my graphic design experience has grown to encompass a wide range of applications, including logo designs, book covers, maps, directional signage, brochures, billboards, corporate communications, product labels, and t-shirts. This diversity of work has strengthened my skill set to create thoughtful, effective designs that perform across all formats.
Above are a few examples of logo designs I have created over the years. They represent a variety of entities, including training classes, entertainment companies, children’s programs, and small businesses. Your logo is the most visually important part of your band. Let’s get it right and build on that.
This is a sample of a book cover project. Here, I provided a series of design options for a client who initially only provided rough idea boards for his end goals. Through a series of refinement drafts, this client was pleased with the end product, as well as how, together, we made this process easy and productive.
During my time at Idlewild, I was tasked with creating mall-style directional signage for digital screens and boards around the building. I also created property layouts for promotions and website usage. These maps were all created in Illustrator from a source blueprint-style drawing. The end goal was to present this information in an attractive, easy-to-read format, complete with a set of maps and room layouts, offering multiple future applications for the organization.
This project included a series of short books and study guides written by multiple authors. In dealing with these vastly different project leads, I was able to quickly understand and produce their overall aesthetics for each individual series. My adaptable design aesthetics were then interwoven throughout a 66-book set of studies, helping to bring a cohesive format for all authors involved in this project. In addition to the cover imagery and themes, I also worked in InDesign to create an attractive and cohesive feel throughout the content of every book.
