Emrgnsee – Flier Design (using some elements created by another designer: W El Rey)

Emrgnsee – Portland, OR – 2009
Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop

Although I did not design this entire flier, it’s a good example of how well I work with other designer’s styles. I took the mountain, crystals, logo and background from the emrgnsee.com website. The left-side frame was created with elements from the website as well.

“REALLY amazing effort and support today getting us to press.  You not only rocked some crazy artwork, but totally weathered the crazy mayhem of our IT’S AN EMRGNSEE!!! last-minute mayhem.  Thanks.”

Marrienette – Logo Design

Stop Physics – Portland, OR – 2009
Illustration, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Streamline

A fun little elephant logo. The shading and outline of the elephant was drawn by myself, the wings are modified from an actual photograph.

I started out with a sketch, drawn by hand and then scanned.  After I transformed the sketch into a vector image, I began giving the shape highlights and shades.  This was done in Photoshop.

I began outlining the major shapes of the elephant with strong strokes.

I then muted the shading and highlights.  I also added some texture to replicate skin wrinkles.

I pulled some wings from a butterfly photo, modified the wings and added them to the elephant.

Rock ‘n Socks – Logo Design

Stop Physics – Portland, OR – 2009
Illustration, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Streamline

The final and third attempt at the pin-up woman riding a tricycle. This is one of my most realistic images, yet. Although the client chose to follow an alternative route. I’m including the image because it marks a milestone in my illustration style. I would like to work more with realistic illustrations that are used for rock posters.

This shows the process of how the final illustration was produced. Each revision was created with the client’s requests in mind.

My first attempt was too similar to a Dr. Seuss illustration.

My second illustration was more realistic, but the tricycle may look better on an angle.

The third sketch was crude and needed more attention once it was scanned in.

The fourth step in the process produced the vector look of the third sketch.  I felt the woman’s face still needed some work and tweaked some other areas before the final image was presented.
