Cinemagraph

This cinemagraph was created in Photoshop using video footage shot on DSLR. The coffee was stirred quickly and the results were recorded. The file was edited down in Photoshop and exported as a gif that loops forever. This book featured in the image was also designed by me in Indesign.

Cover design options

Each book cover is created in Adobe Indesign and the options are narrowed down to select the final cover design.

Publication Design

Created with Adobe Illustrator (Flame) and Indesign. Multiple cover options are created and a final version is chosen from them.

Beer Tasting Menu

I created a small tasting menu for my Brother-in-laws start up brewing company to be used at July 4th event. It’s exciting to see how far he has come in the last year and I know he will continue to brew some incredible new beers.

Blue Elizabeth Designs Logo

A collection of logo mock ups created for a jewelry shop.

For The People Brewery

A collection of logo designs for an upstart brewery.

Business Cards

Logo design

My Brother-in-law asked me to make a logo for him. Here are the examples I came up for him. 

Chicago Bears

Chicago Blackhawks

iphone 6 background created in photoshop. I used layer styles, a texture image and a graidient mask to make this. 

Imperial Scout Trooper

created using adobe illustrator. I always thought the scout trooper had the best looking helmet of all the storm troopers.

Wedding

Here are some of the designs I used for my wedding invitations and cards that were sent to our guests. I created these in Indesign with the background being created in Illustrator and finished in Photoshop.

College Work

One of the best experiences I had in College was working for the Donald S. Spencer student recreation center.This was my first experience working in an office setting and the experience I gained was invaluable. 

Photoshop

Photoshop was the very first program I started with and still to this day I'm learning new techniques and fun ways to edit images. This is a random collection of posters and other items i have worked on for myself.

Digital Painting

Photoshop, brushes and layer styles used to create this.

Western Illinois University

I'm going to add designs to this page for my alma mater. Most of the apparel designs in the bookstore at WIU are pretty boring and they stick with the same designs. The coloring appears off on these images, i'm not sure if that is an issue with the export function of Illustrator or what but the true colors of WIU are PMS 2607 for purple and PMS 116 for the gold. 

Logo design ideas

Logos created in Illustrator for my Brother - In - Law.

2014 Annual Report Cover

These are a few examples of an Annual Report cover that I created for a special edition 50th anniversary. Some of these would include special printing techniques like a gloss finish on the 50 in the background. In total I made over 15 designs and my group narrowed it down to a handful that we presented to the president of the company.
