    uniE621 Save the Bees Brochure and Poster
    Here we have a concept for a brochure about the importance of bees in nature and what we can do to protect and nurture them. The written content was taken from the Bee Conservancy website and edited to better flow in a brochure format. Similar to the accompanying poster design, the brochure utilizes a rustic look to invoke the idea of something like a farmers market, which is very earthy and in the realm of what the intended audience might find interesting. #graphicdesigner #designer…
    uniE621 Trade Show Display
    This is a mockup of a trade show display I created for an insurance company. Being a business-to-business event the design had to be clean and professional. To prevent it from being boring I utilized something of a collage layout for the photos and used rounded corners throughout. #graphicdesigner #designer #tradeshow #branding…
    uniE621 Illustrated Gaming Company Web Banner
    For this project I had to take nine existing characters and redraw them into a winter scene. I had to ensure the character’s individual personalities showed through in this scene while showing all of them having fun/being festive. I was largely given creative freedom as to what they were doing, just that it had to be winter/Christmas themed. The entire scene was drawn in Adobe Illustrator as the characters also needed to be able to be used on their own outside of the scene. #illustrator #graphicdesigner #designer…
    uniE621 Music teacher T-Shirt
    This shirt design is for a guitar shop/music school. The client wanted a fun design her teachers could wear. I went with a psychedelic motif and illustrated a fun and funky back graphic that incorporated a number of instruments they teach at the school. #graphicdesigner #illustrator #tshirtdesign…
    uniE621 RV Restored Luxuries Logo
    For this logo the client needed something that relayed the upscale nature of her business as well as the artistic side. She knew she wanted a hand and a brush included to relay this part of her business. Knowing this, I opted for a light flourish feel to the illustration of the hand and brush. I positioned the hand to make it look like it was drawing the logo, which reiterates the hands-on care the owner puts into her work. #logo #graphicdesigner #branding…
    uniE621 Song single Promotion Poster
    A poster I designed for an Australian musician. The poster is based off the original photo of him holding the umbrella. I took that, isolated him, and stylized it in with a fun retro-yet-modern feel. I wanted to keep it simple so I stick with a very limited color palette with the idea of doing more with less. I feel this limitation makes it far more striking than if it had expanded color options. #graphicdesigner #designer #poster…
