Radius Aerospace T-Shirt Contest
Project Type: Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop
Date: August 2024
When I joined Radius Aerospace in June 2024 as a Stretch Form Helper and later on as a CNC Machine Operator, HR heard that I went to school for design and asked if I could be a part of the contest. There were a couple of people who entered something into this contest and wanted more people to enter. I got the inspiration for this design from a F-15. Since Radius Aerospace helps with military aviation, I thought this was appropriate for the design.
Cadillac CT6 Brochure Redesign
Project Type: Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Indesign, Graphic Design
Date: March 2024
We were assigned to recreate the 2018 Cadillac CT6 brochure using the artists who were popular in the New York School of Art or the style that artists in the New York School of Art used back in the day. I chose Saul Bass because I liked his bold choice of color and fun typography style. I also noticed that his work gravitates towards warmer colors, so I chose bold red throughout this brochure.
CiderBoys Brand Redesign/Campaign
Project Type: Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator,
Graphic Design
Date: November 2023
I chose to recreate the CiderBoys campaign for a project! I first redesigned the logo and designed it based on where the brewing company originated (in Wisconsin). I recreated the logo based on their state animal (white-tailed deer) and remade their seasonal Caramel Apple flavor on the bottle labels, billboards, magazine ads, and banners. This project was a great experience on what it is like to redesign a logo and make a campaign for a company!
2023 Down the Line Fundraiser Designs
Project Type: Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator,
Graphic Design
Date: January/February 2023
The University of Saint Francis Has been doing this project with the Embassy Theatre in Fort Wayne, Indiana, for 14 years. Down the Line is an annual fundraising event where cover artists perform from the artists chosen by the theatre and help fund the theatre. In 2023, the Embassy chose the following artists: Jefferson Airplane, CCR (Creedence Clearwater Revival), Jimi Hendrix, and CSNY (Crosby, Still, Nash, and Young. CSNY are not pictured).
GNC Magazine Ad
Project Type: Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator,
Graphic Design
Date: October 2023
This magazine spread redesign was based on a product GNC promoted in their original ads. The vitamin pack that GNC promoted for men is called Mega Men Sport. This ad targeted active men. I wanted to test my Photoshop ability on these ads and challenge myself with the photos I chose for the type to sit on.
Johnson County Recycling Center Informational Flyers
Project Type: Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator,
Graphic Design
Date: June 2023
The Johnson County Recycling Center (JCRD) in Franklin, Indiana, reached out to me and wanted me to make informational flyers for the ToxBox, which is another warehouse that deals with toxic chemicals that the recycling district does not handle. They wanted me to make flyers about corrosive bases, oxidizers, flammables, and acids. I took the two flyer I have done and thought they were the best design work for them.
Nike Ad
Project Type: Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator,
Graphic Design
Date: February 2021
For this project, I played around with three type trends in these ads: integration, deconstructivism, and sliced/disjointed. I chose to make an ad about Nike. Since I was a collegiate athlete and have been an athlete in a sport my whole life, Nike was the way to go. Even though the other ads I did were good, I really liked my deconstructivism ad.
Wood Type Poster: Journey
Project Type: Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator,
Graphic Design
Date: February 2024
During my senior year of college, we learned the history of wood-type posters and how these artists' fonts and design choices were successful and are still used today in other design work. I also had the option to pick the artist/band that I wanted to do for my poster. I chose Journey because this band was the first band concert that I went to, and they were playing again in Fort Wayne with Toto. I tested my illustration skills in this work and played around with the color in the type for this project.
