Graphic Design
What story do I want to tell?
My logo was meant to represent me, so I began with an “S.” All of the elements represent change, growth and transformation.
Posters and Icon
Amongst my work, I enjoyed the Jupiter destination, my icons related to arboretum data collection, the Blue Ocean Society trash cleanup, and yellowstone trash clean up.
Jupiter’s travel poster was based mostly on the tan and oranges associated with the planet, combined with a space age Type.
Typography
The “E” and “R” are from two separate fonts. I didn’t feel like the original letters went together, so I found an alternative to use. I went for a geometric design and turned it into a pattern.
All of the things begin with thumbnail sketches.
When I enter illustrator, I begin by making my background a pale gray. I do this to get truer colors, like when I draw, but also for eye strain. My favorite thing is to design in B&W.
Miscellaneous
There are a book cover for the novel “Brave New World”, a birthday card, and a simple open and closed closed brochure.
Graphic design has been an interesting way to learn about the world. I can no longer unsee the design choices and messages being conveyed through different pieces.
