Posters
The object of any mark is to capture the essence of the brand. Below are a series of iconic images i’ve designed that capture the core of each client. Click through to view more information about a specific project and see the options that were submitted.
Dog Posters
Creating Warhol-inspired dog art involved selecting iconic photos, then using line and color to bring out each pets character. The final artwork (usually given as gifts) range from 32″x48″ framed prints to 12″x18″ canvas reproductions.
The Art of Construction Poster
Based on a sculpture by Alicia Lomas, this work announces the upcoming Art of Construction exhibition. Focusing on the 3D aspect of the piece, I utilized textures, perspective, and a dynamic type arrangement to complement the angle of the metallic flower.
Out of the Box Poster
Ann Marie Lyon’s sculpture entitled “Inner Strength” provided the perfect palette for a poster advertising a sculpture exhibit at the William B. Travis Building. Capturing energy and movement with the text was important, as well as contrasting the blue/gray steel to a colorful mechanical background.
Kids First in Child Nutrition Poster
Promoting nutrition in schools was the goal of this series of posters. The vibrant, quirky style of the illustrations provided a whimsical way for kids to be reminded to eat healthy. An alternative option was also produced that reflected the same topic but from a teacher’s perspective.
Sculptor’s Point of View Poster
The Swimmer, as sculpted by Leisel Spense, is the focus of this poster. Along with the central image, I included three vector based renderings from different vantage points, giving the viewer a 360 degree sense of the work.
Speak Out Poster
The goal of the Speak Out poster was to get employees talking about ways to improve the organization. I started by creating several concept sketches. The final design was chosen because it directly communicates the idea of an organization listening to its employees.
“I’m Happy When” Posters
For its Reflections series, the “I’m Happy When” piece by Jennifer Kim was chosen as a central theme. Each work included in the gallery of student generated art complimented the central theme. Certificates and tickets were also generated that matched the poster.
Trade Poster
The Trade and Industrial Education poster spotlights one of Texas Education Agency’s professional development conferences. I drew attention to the event by using a magnifying glass to pinpoint three key takeaway themes, “Believe. Achieve. Succeed.”
Boot Camp Workshop Posters
The Boot Camp Workshop campaign played up the “getting back to work” boot camp theme. Everything from dog tags, camouflage, military-style fonts and themed giveaways were all used to get attendees excited for the upcoming Trade and Industrial Education conference.
Launching Office XP Campaign
Texas Education Agency needed a way to communicate the transition to the newer Office XP suite as there had been confusion about the release schedule. Posters were commissioned that talked about training, resources, and when the actual transition would take place.
Doctor’s Day Poster
This poster graphic is built upon several photographic layers and utilizes the historical medical wood cuts found in the Doctors’ Day Catalog for its border. Each of the images represents a period in medical history and comes together to emphasize the 1998 Doctors’ Day slogan: Honoring the Practice of Medicine.
Risk Management Fund Poster
The challenge for this Risk Management poster was that they needed it designed within just a few short hours. Undeterred, I was able to create some sketches that were brought into Photoshop, then embellished for them to meet their extremely tight press deadline.
