terrytoledo.com art and design

My font, Sidhe, was used in this DVD’s logo. Elements from NASA’s image gallery were dramaticly modified to make this image. I also purchased and modified an image of the UFO. I’m very pleased with the colors and lighting effects on this piece.

This DVD cover has a number of elements that interact with each other. For the logo, I used a font I designed (Sidhe) which incorporates a circle on each letter. The circle is repeated below in a geometric shape similar to a crop circle. Capturing all this at the bottom is a satillite dish in a wheat field.

I plan on sending these postcards out very soon. Let me know if you would like a copy by sending me your address with the contact page!

Toby had already been using a similar shape that was made of mother of pearl and then embedded on the headstock of his custom guitars. I redrew the shape and gave it color and texture to match the actual image on the guitar. The shape represents the letters “P” and “L”.

This is a very basic content management site. The entire site was installed, designed and hand-coded by myself and is WC3 valid. Presnell Lutherie is located here: www.presnelllutherie.com.

In planning my first direct mailing, I have worked up a number of postcard ideas.  This did not make the cut, but I feel it works nice enough for my portfolio.

This logo existed previously, I added the lighting effects and depth.

This logo was developed for CafePress tees and products. The message and image are aimed at outlaw DVD pirates. While I was drawing this, I recalled what my Spanish teacher told me one day, as she confiscated a drawing of mine. I believe it had something to do with “never making a living by drawing skulls”… She would be so proud of me.

I developed three logos for the Groom Lake Yacht Club series. Groom Lake a popular area for UFO watching near area 51. The surface of this dried lake bed is also capable of hosting land surfing sports. This logo features one air-born, skateboarder, if you look at the bottom of his board you will find my logo mixed with random UFOTV logos. The sail contains a popular crop circles logo.

I designed this DVD package with four clip art photographs that I purchased without seeing the film.  The cover suggests an agent existing in the foreground and background of the setting.  Adding a photograph of the milky way compliments the cosmic nature of the documentary.

The Shoot Em Up DVD package was made to be a bit scary.  First, I purchased a great photograph of a vintage syringe.  The old device is very intimidating and threatening, perfect for the feel of the documentary.  It is injecting a glowing green fluid into the star on the American Flag to suggest that the old ways of treating disease is toxic.  Behind these images is a list of ingredients found in vaccinations, not meant to be readable but relative to the subject matter.

This logo features a illustration of a radio tower and wave pulses. Both elements are repeated as supporting images on all the client’s media (web page, business cards and advertisements). The colors show the program’s allegiance to Israel. I am currently finishing up the website for JPR.

I love this logo. I wish I had made it for my own game company, yet, it is in good hands with the owners in Tucson, Arizona. The sun is a fitting image for an Arizona-based company. The initials of the game fell perfectly to create the eyes and nose of the sun.

I was hired to illustrate and design this board game package with full creative freedom. The client was looking to emphasis the height of the game, as the players build tall structures during the game play. The name of the board game reinforces the tall concept of the game play. I did the illustration in pen and ink, then did the airbrushing in photoshop. Drawing the figure in the foreground was a bit frustrating, yet this artwork turned out to be one of my finest works to date.
