Brand ID Design

Brand Identity Design is the best class ever. I have sky-rocketed in my skill with Graphic Design. I'll almost make the claim that I'm good. Really good. Here's a quick summary of the projects I've had throughout the semester.
This one's due this Wednesday; for a venture capital company, I'll sell it to ya later.

Boo at the Zoo logo, for a seasonal event, any zoo.

Venture Point, the product of an arduous group process. The group made up the software and company and mission/positioning statement. Each group member made their own logo, this is mine.

Another logo with my initials. Dynamic, figure-ground relationship, pretty much awesome.

The otter. Our first assignment was to abstract an animal. My teacher complimented me very highly by saying it's almost a portfolio piece.

Killer Site: Audio Intros

This is pretty much the second full website I've ever designed. I usually just do header/body/footer images that go into a template my dad created. This, however, is a part of a spectacularly fun project, because I made part of the product being sold, I designed the entire layout, I'm working on the code and am even getting hover-states in there, plus, this has been my little experiement/chance to redesign the sales process for Syncnet. If this is a success, I will hopefully start Revamping all of our sales pages, 'cause I'm absolutely sick and disgusted when I look at and read through the standard 2001 sales pages. Look out world, our new sites are killer.

Cake Business Cards

My shot at business cards for Frosted on Top.

MSE Identity

Brand new logo for a brand new site. I think this is one of my more successful logos.

Proposed website-design, without title/tagline text on header and the links/copyright on footer.

Off With My Headers

I've been making some pretty good headers lately, especially when compared to my old stuff, but it seems like no one is actully liking them :(. This one is for ezicing--I'm trying to Revamp it to get the quality of the site and its visual happiness to be equal. However, my mom promptly said she didn't like it.

Try #2, throw in the dots. She likes the dots, but still says something's wrong...

Try #3, didn't like the "squares," so she likes it without them, but still doesn't like it...Someday I shall conquer this project.

I did this one a while ago, thoroughly proud of the great new logo, the typography, the color scheme. I sent it to my dad and...rejected! He said there's no color! I didn't want there to be much color, I thought the nice cold business scheme was gonna work out...It's still my favorite, but I also like my last header.

Valley of Predators Revisited

I re-did my book cover so I could chop the minus off my grade, and I certainly do like my title better. Note that this is an image to be printed, which is why the picture is lightened kinda strangely, but based on how dark the copy center's been printing, this probably would be quite beautiful :D. I also added little jeep details in the lights on the back cover.

We're Certified!

Icons to be placed on sites to reassure the customer the site is tested, trusted, and certified. These are pretty cool, I think. I love the second one, 'cause I can use the technique for other things, just happened upon the effect by accident. Love it!

HFH T-Shirt Designs

There were a bunch of fliers in the FAC for a Habitat For Humanity t-shirt design contest. Here were some of the ones I came up with and actually created on the computer. However, I didn't submit the design in the top right. Maybe I should've, but I thought two was good enough. Hope I win!

Web 2.0 Sales Page

DazzleBright Teeth Whitening Sales Page
I think this is my first successful web 2.0 web design, and it's certainly my favorite design I've made for sales pages, although Syncnet's probably not gonna use it, I learned a lot of good stuff at work on this one. This is actually not finished, because I was waiting for pictures that were never given to me, which explains the unfinished bottom and not-so-personal feel of the page. I also don't have a logo for the product.

Phobias

This is my project for my Computers and Art class--the assignment was to take 3 interrelated subjects and create a set of icons that communicate the subject/topic/whatever at 2" x 2" and at 32 px x 32 px. How did I do? I think it went really well--just finished 'em about an hour or so ago.

Another Batch Of Button Upgrades

These are a few examples of the new system buttons for Syncnet's main product, eBiz Suite. We've now, for the most part, gotten our graphics up to par with the rest of the latest and greatest! I have to say I really like these--and as a sidenote I did not design the icons, we bought them...

Cake Ads, Cupcake Ads, They're All Pretty Sweet (Don't Mind The Pun)

I like this one a lot. Talk about a sweet ad for cakes.

After the first one (below) I started having more fun with 'em.

My job is way too fun. The assignment today, and technically from here on out, is managing product creation. Believe it or not, these ads I made are actually products--these are just the images, however. I also really really like these and claim all intellectual rights to them, as well as actual legal rights, as these are all copyright (c) Syncnet, Inc. 2009 with all rights reserved.

In Memory Of My Old Header

Say, "goodbye," to my old header, it's time to update. I dedicate this post to the end of my era of less-than-great designs...

30 Day Meal Planning Logo

Here's a brand-spanking-new logo, hooray! This for another of my mom's products, "30 Day Meal Planning." I must say this is a pretty sweet logo...

Banner Ad

Skateboard Headers

Recent assignment at work has required these headers. Above is for skateboard tricks and below is just for skateboard.

Aikido Header

Magic Background

Aikido Background Design

Basket Icon

Another creation from a tutorial. They're just so much fun!
