GRAPHICS
Here you will find various graphic work used for various projects such as posters, symbol work, logos and other miscellaneous projects. There are many avenues taken and different approaches into achieving the final design destination.
Logos
Surfadelics
This logo was developed for one my friends bands. I sketched out the basic design including the lettering which I really enjoy. I find creating your own lettering in certain situations solves the problem a lot of the time in design if it lends to it. I very selective on where I placed the various colors. I wanted it to flow and still be legible but really pop!
Eclipse
Eclipse Logo I designed for the SIUC that would be used for all marketing and branding leading up to the event in 2017 and 2024. My longest actively used logo.
GOLD in Logo Category: "SIU Carbondale Eclipse Logo"
Feb 2016 honor issuer The 31st Annual Educational Advertising Awards, sponsored by Higher Education Marketing Report
The Educational Advertising Awards is the largest educational advertising awards competition in the country. Over 2,000 entries were received from over one-thousand colleges, universities and secondary schools from all fifty states and several foreign countries.
Eclipse 2024 Marketing Advertisement
This is an added marketing graphic being used to promote the Eclipse on April 8th, 2024. Initially designed for an ad, it has taken legs and is being used in various marketing applications such as billboard ads, pole banners, stickers and t-shirts.
Symbols
These symbols were developed from my basic leather hex designs. I took the simple line work into Photoshop to finish out a more solid look. Inspired from Pennsylvania Dutch barn hexs with Scandinavian, ancient Germanic and Grecian elements. The Sol Invictus design was all created in Photoshop and represents the initial idea of the original design but in a realistic approach.
Bull-Sol
Wild Hunt
Sol Invictus
Jera Harvest
The Striker
Poster Series
These three posters were designed as a cohesive series for the McLeod Summer Playhouse’s 2024 season. The sun logo, placed consistently in the bottom left corner, visually ties the set together, while the "2024 McLeod Summer Playhouse Presents" header at the top unifies them under the same banner. Each production title retains its distinct style, reflecting the unique essence of the show it represents. The background imagery further amplifies these themes, with The Prom and Dragons Love Tacos utilizing AI-generated text-to-image designs to create visually compelling backdrops.
Misc. Posters
A few selected posters I designed for SIU Carbondale through the years. Some utilized hand drawn elements with a mix of mixed graphics.
Recruitment
A couple of spreads from SIU recruitment material and a postcard that highlights more graphical treatment and elements.
Miscellaneous
A mix of design incorporating illustration and graphics for the curious. Most of these are personal exploration with different techniques and ideas.
