The purpose of this project was to create a infographic that would educate the user about a topic. At that time Bernard Madoff had just been sentenced and ponzi schemes were in the news so I decided to create a piece to illustrate this. The challenge of this piece was to create something that was visually interesting and would also illustrate the basic principle of how a ponzi scheme works.
This was a motion graphic piece done for The Urban Forest Project. While the actual Urban Forest Project doesn’t involve the use of motion graphic pieces and is more centered around outdoor exhibitions, we were challenged to create a motion graphics piece around their concept of “employ the idea or form of the tree to make a powerful visual statement.”
The purpose of this project was to design a web site that highlighted a specific product. I chose an iPhone application I found interesting and incorporated some of its design elements into the web site design. This web site includes a photo gallery with a lightbox implementation.
The purpose of this project was to design a fictional watch based on real watches. The challenge of this project was to create a photorealistic vector watch using a combination of only vectors, blends and meshes in Illustrator.
The purpose of this project was to create a promotional piece for a web site called Fountainhead. Fountainhead was to be an online social community dedicated to various graphic arts. The concept behind this piece was to show how the creative process transforms from an idea to a finished piece of work.
The purpose of this project was to design a four page magazine spread for a Best of the Bay article. I wanted to create something warm and fun. Original watercolor illustrations were used to illustrate the article.
The purpose of this project was to re-brand a local restaurant by creating a new logo and stationary. The restaurant was unique in that it not only offered food but also had a small wine shop attached to it. I wanted to create a logo design that would effectively combine the two facets of their business in a memorable manner.
The purpose of this project was to design a logo and business card for a established barber shop. I wanted to create a logo that evoked a sense of nostalgia through the image of an old style barber’s uniform. I chose the typeface Jazz Let due to its horizontal lines which mirrored the teeth of the comb in the barber’s hand.
An illustration of a bug taken from a photo reference. This was my first Illustrator project.
The purpose of this project was to take an existing magazine cover and redesign it. I chose Discover magazine because I felt that the current design didn’t truly reflect the magazine’s tag line of “Science, Technology and the Future.” Part of the challenge was designing a new logotype that would reflect the tag line as well as creating a new illustration to match the magazine’s main story. Fonts used in this design include, Helvetica Neue, Gotham and Insignia.
