Personal logo, business card and letterhead

This logo, letterhead and business card were designed for my Graphic Design class, this month. The logo was constructed in Illustrator. I stacked the words Silver Raven over the word Design in 2 different but complimentary fonts. I incorporated a raven where the i should be in design for emphasis. The outline started as a rectangle then I rounded 2 of the corners and added a feather inspired brush stroke to it. The letterhead and business card were also created in illustrator using a piece of grey paper that I scanned. The logo is a vector graphic and can be reproduced any size.

Sushi clip art - before and after

This was a part of the newsletter assignment that I just completed for Advanced Graphic Design Projects. Our mission was to take a standard web clip art and alter it. Working on the sushi theme I found this fun clip art of a happy sushi roll. I opened it in Photoshop and using the eraser tool, removed the face and rice on the front of the roll. I imported it into Illustrator and used the pen tool to illustrate the roll. I added a few gradients to the colors to give it a more realistic feel. I drew a few pieces of rice, grouped them then copied them all over the top of the roll. The final product is an Illustrator vector file so it can be used on any size project from web to print and billboards.

Newsletter - The Fresh Catch

 

This is a newsletter I created this semester in Advanced Graphic Design Projects. The concept was to create a newsletter using the business logo we just created. Staying with the sushi concept I created a newsletter titled The Fresh Catch. I used the business logo I just created and several photos that I've taken at various times of actually Sushi J Express menu items. The layout was created in InDesign to be printed on 11x17 paper and be folded and mailed through the post office.

Business Logo - Sushi Express

This is a business logo I created this semester for Advanced Graphic Design Projects. The title is Sushi Express and it's design was inspired by Sushi J Express. Their logo is very simple and doesn't reflect the wonderful food they create. I wanted something that was "cut up" the way a sushi roll is so I illustrated the fish then cut it into pieces using the word sushi. This is an Illustrator file that can be re-sized for any need from a large sign to print and web applications.

Website Design

These are 3 websites that I've created. The first is a website for a  Sushi Restaurant in Prescott Valley, originally designed in June 2011. The second is information and photography of my friend's loft, designed in Fall 2011. The third is my website and was designed as my final for Webdesign 2, designed in Spring 2012. All websites were designed in Dreamweaver CS 5.5 using HTML 5.

Respect Your Mother

This is a type design poster that I created in November 2011 for Graphic Design I titled Respect Your Mother. Nature and the environment are very important to me so I wanted to create a poster that promoted a Earth Day celebration. I created the vector graphics in Adobe Illustrator and laid out the overall design, including clipping masks, in Adobe InDesign. The poster was printed at 12" by 18".

Nature's 3 R's

This is a Graphic Information Poster titled Nature's 3 R's that I created for Graphic Design Illustration class in September 2011. Nature and the environment are very important to me so I wanted to create a poster that communicated simple things that most everyone could do to help the environment. I created the vector graphics and layout design in Adobe Illustrator and it was printed at 11" by 14".

Tarot Inspired Playing Cards

This is a set of Tarot inspired playing cards that I designed for Graphic Design I in December 2012. I knew that you can do a Tarot card reading with a traditional deck of playing cards so for my design I wanted to create a traditional deck that would also double as a Tarot deck. I used Adobe Illustrator to create the vector artwork and placed the vectors in InDesign to lay out the overall card design. Each card was printed at approximately 3.75" by 5.25".
