World Wide Pioneer Day Posters

I had the great privilege of designing some posters for a free festival thrown by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I created a 11x17 version for the poster and then edited down the text for the 8.5 x 11 version so they could use it as flyer.

Logos

Lately I've been working on the corporate branding and logo for a new waterproofing technology. The rendered versions turned out better than my original sketches so hopefully the client will like one of these options!

Design Essentials

Our department gave us a design challenge where we were supposed to draw inspiration from Ashwin Pate's "Bare Essentials for the Graphic Designer" and create a poster of our own design essentials. I was listening to the amazing Jessi Arrington on Creative Mornings when I made my own design essentials dashboard poster. Her idea for creating "creative settings" thoroughly inspired me. The talk served as a good reminder that a positive outlook determines the outcome more than the situation at hand. And now, my controls and settings for getting things done and enjoying every moment of life:

Happiest Holidays

I love Christmas time! Reuniting with family and spending more time with friends is so refreshing. Plus, I finally feel like I have time to work on my own little design projects again. I made a winter wallpaper last night for my mac and yours:

Project Wedding

One great (albeit sometimes painfully time-consuming) thing about being a designer—I get to design my own wedding invitation and mood board. Bliss.

Summer Illustrations

My normal work mainly consists of graphs/charts and text layout, but I got the chance to design the email banners for our company's 4th of July party. I miss doing these little illustrations!

Music + Redbull

It was a long, amazing, glittery night at Katy Perry. Yet, after two weeknights out (two nights ago was the equally amazing Vitamin Water Uncapped gallery/venue) I'm hurtin' to say the least. Thankfully, I can rely on listening to music all day to keep me going. Music and Redbull. Recovery mix below:
