Transparent glass tutorial:
This tutorial was so interesting and simple :) It literally has 8 steps and gives the coolest effect. I love the glassy clean look that the effects give type. The little sparkles on the glass were my favorite little touch! I hope other's try this tutorial because it was a fun one.

THIS is my first attempt at an animation in imaging for the screen. Our class is holding a contest for the best samurai so I hope she wins. She should take home the gold considering she is fighting and looking rather posh at the same time. I mean. . .check out the spurs on those boots...:)

CD Album


I got this idea from searching images on the internet. I recreated this image in watercolor pencils and pen. After I scanned the image in I increased the saturation to give it the cool neon effect. I hope you guys like this because I really want to move forward with this! :)

Here are a few business card variations...I need feedback. I personally prefer the top horizontal piece. It works for me being that you can simply flip the card to the left or right to read the backside. Also, in the horizontal version up top I was able to use the "talk of the town" type illustration to scale. Tell me what you think.
Hey you guys, I took the classes advice and cut the "Talk and Town" from different variations and cut the "of the" from another and combine them. I played around several times and this is the one I have decided to move forward with. I chose the horizontal version because I think it reads best and feels balanced especially if this is going to be on the back of Talk of the Towns business card. Tell me what you think!.

Identity Project

Talk of the Town Salon- Flyer 1
This is a flyer option for a beauty salon. The motto is "Every girl wants to be the Talk of the Town". My solution for this motto was to create an image using contrast to draw attention to a girl who is quote on quote the "talk of the town". I drew the image and scanned it in because I wanted the card to have a personal unrefined element. This is one option, there are more to come.

Peace College softball poster-2010

Action shots by our pitcher Kendra Yearick's father Karl inspired this poster. Karl snapped hundreds of pictures at the Peace College annual softball game in the Fall of '09. I chose pictures that illustrated good fundamentals and competitive softball in hopes of good advertisement to bring the public, faculty and students out to games to support us in the spring for our 2010 season.
