Here is a business card/calling card I was asked to design... Name/Phone #/Tagline/Logo all changed for privacy purposes... I was asked for very clean and modern-- simple black type on a white background... Enjoy!

I re-did the party invitations for my current employer and they were just recently sent to the printer... Here is the modified version of the postcard-style invitations!

Peas and Carrots

Hopefully you will after you see this ad! It was the first final-art assignment for my advertising design class, I had to advertise to parents of young children asparagus... and this is what I came up with... A child-like illustration and all!

For my current employer...

My brother and I planned a party for my parent's 25th wedding anniversary. This is the invitation and the sign I created to put in the front yard, idea based off of an image (source unknown) that my Dad saw and thought was the cutest thing ever... and he was right. =]

Group Work-Posters

This is an example of package design for a (fictitious) tea company that I created in one of my graphic design courses.

When printed, it was a die-cut around the dog's head, which surrounded the white portion of the interior of the brochure.

Book Covers

Here is another assignment where we had to create a series of book covers for different genres of books, one poetry, one non-fiction, one fiction, and one biography or autobiography. We also had to choose one to make an interior spread for, I chose The Scarlet Letter:
