Senior Project

Thought maybe I would give you a taste of my senior project! I will be designing 5 posters, one of each being a 50's icon. The 5 women I have chosen are:

♥ Marilyn Monroe ♥

♥ Audrey Hepburn ♥

♥ Elizabeth Taylor ♥

♥ Sophia Loren ♥

♥ Brigitte Bardot ♥

The poster will include their name, and a quote of theirs. I am so excited about this project! So far, I have really enjoyed working on it. They are going to be huge....24x36! But my idea is to frame them and have them hung up in my house somewhere, eventually. Yay!

I will be vectorizing their faces, so I will not use photos. Here is what I have started on Marilyn.



Keep in mind, these are nowhere near done!!! I have a long way to go. Here is a preview of the poster, minus the quote and lots of other things.



I will keep you updated! :)

Parley's Logo

For my advanced Graphic Design class this semester, our first project was to design a logo for a local business. It was for a plumbing/hardware company named Parley's. We had their marketing director come in and talk to us a couple times so we had an idea of what they wanted. He said they were going to pick the top 3, pay all 3, and then decide on the winner.

GUESS WHAT!

I was in the top 3!!!!! :)

I was so excited. We are actually still waiting to hear back to see who won, so hopefully it will be mine! I am so happy to be in the top 3 though, at least. Yay!

It's funny though, because they actually picked the concept of mine that in my opinion, was one of my weaker designs. Oh well, whatever works for them. They said they wanted a script font, so that's what I used. Here is what they chose!

Just trying some diff color schemes...






Tried a couple variations of their choice. If I am the winner, I'm not sure which one they would use.


Business Card

Much need update!

Sorry I have been MIA...my life has been CRAZY! Here are some things I have been working on.

This project was for my Advanced Layout class last fall. We designed a magazine. My magazine was "green" themed.. It was hard. It kicked my butt, I'm not gonna lie. Here are a few pieces from it!

Here is the masthead (mag title design) I chose to go with:


Here is the cover:


Here is an example of one of the articles-this happens to be the letter from the editor:

And here is the feature article spread. The article was about using old beer for gasoline:
