Birthday Cards

These are a few birthday cards I designed for a couple of my friends. While I can claim all of the art from the top card I cannot for the bottom card - the hand drawn giraffe vectors were created by Scarletbits [Scareltbits.com] and the watercolor textures were created by Jay Hilgert [although both were benevolently released to be used in the general community.] Cards are so fun to design, and it's nice to be thinking about one person in particular the entire time you're making the design. I am looking forward to the next birthday to come up so I can design another!

Community Foundation Event Program

The Community Foundation (a fairly large local Charity Organization) was having an event to officially commemorate the fifty years that they have been able to serve the community and all of the people that have made that happen. I was lucky enough to get to design this and have alot of creative reign as well. It was a bit of a challenge with the amount of text they wanted to include in the program; it was my goal to keep it clean and organized despite this. The program rolled up (like a scroll) and tied with a ribbon that was their signature green color. The Date (on the outside) showed on the edge when it was rolled up. All in all I am very proud of this piece and so happy that I got to work with them!

Beach List

In an attempt not to forget anything while packing for my upcoming beach excursion I designed this list. Just a fun piece I did for my own enjoyment that I thought would be a nice addition to what I have posted on here - always nice to show work where the only requirement was to have fun designing it!

Business Card

These are some business cards I just designed for my father. He sings jazz songs in the style of Frank Sinatra at restaurants/bars, weddings, and other events. Ava Productions (aptly named after Frank's second wife) is the name of his company. I wanted to give the card a nostalgic, yet modern look while capturing the feeling of sitting down and drifting away into the sweet sounds of an old jazz record - maybe one recorded by ole blue eye's himself.

Baby Shower invites

I very recently designed two baby shower invitations for my friend to choose from for her shower. She (as you might have figured) does not know the gender of the baby and isn't going to know until delivery. She is still deciding which to use at the moment - we'll see which one wins out! I did all of the illustration myself, scanned it in, and colored it in Adobe Illustrator.

Thank You Card for Blue Ocean Technologies

This is a thank-you card for the same company [folds in half]
