Rizzo & Diersen Brochure (2011)
Rizzo & Diersen approached me to create a new brochure for their law firm. I originally created three mock-ups from which they chose the direction that they liked best. I think refined the design until we arrived at the final brochure design. I was responsible for carrying out all aspects of the design from initial sketch up to printing.
2009 Urban Extension Conference
I created this design for the 2009 Urban Extension Conference. The design was used throughout a small marking campaign over various media including email news letters, postcards, presentation slides, and posters. I was responsible for the design and also for adapting to to the various formats.
Southport Press Artist Playing Cards
I was responsible for scanning and preparing all of the art we collected. I created the template for the cards and cleaned up each piece of art, formatting it to fit into our template. I was also responsible for the illustration on the front of the box (and also the backs of the cards) as well as providing an illustration for one of the cards.
4-H Promotional Materials Update
4-H already had marking materials similar to these however they featured dated images and needed to be updated. I was responsible for recreating the design in a format that the UW-Extension educators could actually update. I cleaned up and edited the photography that we used for the updated materials. I was also responsible for preparing everything for print and working with the printers to get the project completed. The project has since been used by various other 4-H programs throughout Wisconsin.
16 Hours to Live (Display and Cover)
16 Hours to live is a short comic that I wrote, illustrated, and produced. After completing the book itself I also designed and built a point of sale display for it. I designed the foam core displays from scratch and then created a backboard and illustrations to sit within the display. I was responsible for everything from the original photography for the project, to the edits and text, to printing and assembly.
4 – H 2011 Adventure Camp T-shirt
This design was screen printed onto t-shirts which were given to 2011 4-H adventure camp participants. The design is setup to use two screens, green and black.
