Fresh Start
Well, I have re-designed the site. And, I think it looks pretty fabulous. I also know that I need to make a few changes. The navigation needs a kick in the booty, but I had to get it together for my web design final. This is ok, but not perfect, so [...]

Print Ad
This is a second concept for the Volvo Overseas delivery program, this one targeting a decidedly different audience. This ad focuses solely on the feelings and only suggests the car. It is done in a rich chocolate brown to highlight the luxury of the product.
The ad was created in Illustrator CS3.

Mobile Site Design
I created a mobile application/site for YarnCon, Chicago’s own fiber nerd convention.

The site was created in Flash [...]

Event Logo
Each year, the final design event of the year (and a major full portfolio review) gets a new logo. The logo is to be trendy, clean and well design. It is design for designers and design students.

Make-up artist portfolio
Latoya wanted to portray a sleek and modern feel when she showcased her work as a freelance make-up artist for MAC cosmetics.
I chose pink, grey and white because they complemented her photographs and differentiated her from a crowd that typically uses all black for their backgrounds.
I bundled up the flash and gave it to the [...]
