Projects

School and Fun

These are some of the projects that I did for school and a few that I just did for fun. I think it's important to keep creating in order to keep my skills sharp.

Ice Cream

I created this piece to represent myself and my daughter. She likes to sit on my shoulders. I then printed the image onto a t-shirt for me and a onesie for my daughter.

Goctopus

The prompt was to combine two animals into one. I combined an image of a blue-ring octopus and a gecko. I used Photoshop to blend the images together. Then I used the spot heal brush to overlay the blue rings on the gecko.

Experimenting with the paint brush in Photoshop

God of War

I created and printed an arcade cabinet header. I used the recent God of War logo from Santa Monica Studios to create an 8-bit style logo. Then I printed the image onto a plastic. It is designed to be backlight like arcade cabinets were.

John Bic

The project was to recreate a movie poster trying to match the poster exactly with a slight twist. I reimagined the movie poster for John Wick but removed the gun and added a lighter. Its was a very fun Photoshop challenge. It took a fairly long time to getting the lighting and the position of the hand just right.

The Ravens

For this project, I designed this poster based on an old English nursery rhyme. I enjoyed creating the ravens with the brush tool and layering the feathers to create depth. Part of the project was to recreate this poster in different sizes and maintain the proper resolution.

Variable Data Publishing

This is a project that required the use of Variable Data Publishing in a personal mailer. I used the Adobe InDesign plugin Smartstream to add the variable elements but the list and spreadsheet were made by myself. This project wasn't too difficult the main challenge was making sure that I had all my entries in Excel correct.
