Personal Logo Designs

For this project, we created logos and banners to advertise our own media work with marketing-ready graphics! These were some of the designs I created that reflect my brand and my style as an artist.

Spectrums of Light- Color Wheel Design

For this open-ended project, we showcased our knowledge of color theory to make our own color wheel where color drove the meaning behind our own original art piece. My color wheel features the artist’s primary and secondary colors and represents colors within an abstract angel's wings in an original graphic.

Chicks In Bowls- Women's Roller Skating Club Graphics

For this project, we were hired by the Vermont chapter of Chicks In Bowls to design graphics for their organization that promotes quad roller skating and skateboarding for the female, trans, and non-binary community. We worked to make designs they could use on social media, t-shirts, stickers, and more to promote their brand and showcase the awesome activities they inspire!

The Big Show- Event Poster Design

For this project, we designed an event poster for a Higher Ground Show with a band or performer that we would love to go see! To do this, we had to create original assets and could only choose to use the artist’s logo or masked/manipulated photo if we wanted. Although this show isn't actually happening, it was good practice to explore graphic design for promotional posters. I made my poster for Hozier.

Cartoon Portrait

This was our first time using the pen tool in Adobe Illustrator to make custom shapes. Using portrait photos as guides, we made cartoon versions of ourselves! We also printed these out as stickers.

Variant Visuals Logo Designs

For this project, we worked with a team of filmmakers from the Burlington area who were seeking a new logo for their business. Using the notes they gave us in the creative brief, we designed logos that could look sleek and professional and ready to be animated. These were some of the designs I shared, and check out their work at https://www.facebook.com/VariantVisuals/

Three Sides Is All You Need- Triangle Design Challenge

For this project, we were challenged to create any type of creative art design that utilized triangles as a foundational element and to share our product in only one day! As a class challenge, we got feedback on these from our advisory board to showcase our skills working within a prompt. For my design, I created an abstract scene with a setting and characters communicated completely through triangles.

Griefcase Band Logo and Branding Work

For this project, we worked with a new Vermont band called “Griefcase.” They hired our class to make logo designs for their debut album and for t-shirts that they are printing out, so these were some of the designs I submitted. Since their musical influences were 1990’s and 2000’s rock bands, I did some research into the genre and made logos to match the feel of their alternative rock sound!

Line It Up- Typography Alignment Design

For this project, we learned about typography practices like kerning, tracking, leading, paragraph alignments, justification, and font families to make typography art. For my design, I made text art of lyrics from Svavar Knútur's song Emotional Anorexic.

Build An Identity- Business Branding Design

For this project, we each got a fake business based on a real local business that we were tasked to make designs for. My business was The Alley Cat, a bowling alley and arcade center that wanted to appeal to adults with a more sleek urban brand. To approach this project as a graphic designer, I analyzed my business by reading quotes and goals of theirs in a creative brief and then designed a 5-color scheme palette, collection of logo mockups, and a demonstration half-page advertisement to showcase how the business could make use of the visual brand I envisioned for them!

Car Digital Drawing- VEctor Art

For this project, we showed greater mastery of the Pen Tool to make a digital drawing graphic of a vehicle. Check out the before and after!
