Alcatraz Escapes 14 ways off the rock!

This project was my final for Advanced Typography. We were to do an info-graphic about a man made object or a timeline of events. I choose to do a time line of events about the 14 prisoner escapes that occurred during the 29 years Alcatraz was operating as a prison.

Derivative designs for my Corporate Identity final project

These are the 5 short-listed logo designs I created for my final project for this class. In the short amount of consumer research I did by short I mean short 3 out of the 6 people asked preferred the bottom left logo over the others. Having that reaction I decided to conclude my design with this logo. (For me it was a toss up between the top left logo and the bottom left logo. I really like the look of both of these one the bottom left is a more conservative modern take on the logo that I believe will stand the test of time.)

Cornucopia Brochure project for Production Procedures.

Here's something I'm particularly proud of. Although you can't see it on the jpeg. Once printed this brochure would have spot varnish on certain parts and images. 

These were designed with the intent of displaying them in stores around whistler and the lower mainland. To promote the different events and give some general information about Cornucopia. The thing I did not design as it was not needed for the project but would be needed in reality was the display box that would hold the brochures. 

MS Hawk Inc Logo's

A black and white and full colour version of a logo that was designed for MS Hawk Inc a local bird control company. I was really happy with how this turned out in class and with a slight tweak before handing it over to my client it was perfect. Also a note for those who think it may not scale well. During a test run it scaled to a small size without losing any detail. 

Logo Design for AVV productions a Local Vancouver Event Planner.

This is the logo design I created for Arlayghna (Arlene) Viccto a local event planner in Vancouver. It was a pleasure working with Arlene on this project. I wish her all the best in her dynamic career. 

The 3 final hand in versions for my Concept Development Class Razor Mens Spa.

The concept development final. Classmates didn't seem to follow the concept but I was happy with the end result. The previous entries for this project seen earlier on my blog were the step before this revamped version. I hope you enjoy. 

Stopping Spam

This was my Second Quarter Illustrator class final project. I went from not being able to draw at all to creating an image in Illustrator.

This was a 3 part ad campaign I had to create for Concept Development. I created a mens spa and combined a sex appeal with a humour appeal to create my take on mens fantasies.

Wizard of Oz re imagining book cover

This was a project for Fundamentals of Design.

I really enjoyed this one, we had to take a classic book and re imagine the cover. I choose The Wonderful Wizard of OZ by L. Frank. Baum. We were to create one design seen in my pencil drawing then create 3 variations of colour themes. 

Base design drawn with pencil then scanned so I could work in Photoshop.

My first colour theme

Number 2. 

And finally my personal favourite my 3rd colour theme.

Event Posters for my Digital Imaging Final at AI

I really enjoyed this project. We had to create 4 posters for events that are actually happening around Vancouver. While maintaining the feel of the event and being conscious of the target audience. I feel that I hit the nail on the head when it came to these 4 events.
