Logo Redo

Back when I was working at Shady Lady Window Coverings, I was also working on small projects to support the Henderson Center Merchants Association. One of my small projects was taking the small .jpg logo they were using and see if I could do something about it so they could put it on a large banner.
Please note, I did not design their original logo.



 

Here is how my re-draw came out. I'm glad they're now able to use their logo for large-scale projects.
Below, a picture I took during the 2012 Rhododendron Parade of the Merchants Association's parade float to show the banners we had made using the new logo.

Shady Lady Window Coverings Ads & TV Spots

 

I'd like to share some of the Print and TV ads I created while I worked for Shady Lady Window Coverings as their Showroom Manager in 2012! I apologize for the poor video quality once viewed as full screen, but for some reason once uploaded, the videos are best viewed in the small size.

 

These are just two of the videos I created for Shady Lady Window Coverings. They were created using Adobe Premier and aired on the local tv networks in Eureka, California.

 

And here is a print ad appearing in the Times Standard newspaper, 10x10 size, in October, 2012 for Shady Lady Window Coverings.
Below are some of the 2x3 size print ads that appeared in the North Coast Journal weekly paper.



Reader's Theater

While working at Ucon Elementary, one teacher asked me to make a simple program for her 3rd grade Reader's Theater. I had no access to Photoshop or Illustrator, so I made the best of it and used Word. Here's how it ended up looking!

MV Logo

While working for the elementary school, my sister and I worked on a logo for a new school that was being built. She came up with some ideas and I got to working in Illustrator, and though the school ended up using a different logo, I'm still glad we got to work on it.

Planets

When I discovered (2 years ago) how to "make planets" I was ecstatic. I had a presentation on how to make planets with Photoshop and everything. Here's one I found to share:

Have I mentioned I love Photoshop? :)

Why IDAHO?

A fun little promotional image done in my Photoshop class, asking, "Why Idaho?"

Old cookbook redesign

For my portfolio before I graduated, I had to do a few projects. One was to take a cookbook I had at home and redesign it. Here's a sample of the index and a recipe page.

Sensual Salts Logo

This logo was designed for Julie Kline's bathsalt company.

Black Rock and Sage Layout

Also in 2008, I co-designed the new layout for Idaho State University's Black Rock & Sage Journal of Creative Works, a student-run publication. Adobe InDesign CS3 was used in it's creation.

"Coin Caper"

In the spring semester of 2008, I created a scratch ticket for the Idaho Lottery's National Contest entitled "Coin Caper," the scratch ticket inspired by the film noir genre. I was one of the top 3 winners!
The image provided shows the basic transformation my original sketch went through to become a scratch ticket.

Here's a link to the Idaho Lottery's current page that some more information for my ticket:

From what I've heard, it was doing really well.

Peach Font

Here is a font I designed in my Advanced Graphics course which I dubbed "Peach."











The below image is an example of how the font could be used. I liked the idea of it being part of the packaging for tea.

And an example of how I used it for fun, shortly after watching "Speed Racer" of course!

Elemental

"Elemental" is an educational game developed by Bandicoot12 Studios, that I had the honor of designing the graphics for.

From the Logo to each individual element from the Periodic Table of Elements, I built everything from scratch.
 

Graphics for the game's interface were also developed, including buttons for navigation and screens for individual areas in the game, for instance, the How to Play area.

Playing the finished product was really the most rewarding part of it all!

Man Overboard

The "Man Overboard" beer label design was created for my Advanced Graphic Design course at Idaho State University.

I'm aware the "Scandanavian Ale" isn't spelled the same as Scandinavian, but that's exactly how I wanted it spelled.
I just preferred how it looked when it was spelled differently.

This project really was a lot of fun, and I look forward to opportunities to design packaging for different products.

Here's an image of the process my label went through:
