Nashville Tourism Posters
December 2024, Adobe InDesign, 11" x 14"
These posters were made to hypothetically advertise Nashville, Tennessee to possible tourists and music fans. The process involved first researching Nashville to get a good understanding of its history and culture, and this information would be used to inform both the design process and the content within the body copy. Only typographic elements were used for both posters.
"ThrillLab" Designs
October 2024, Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign, 11" x 17"
These are a series of designs I created for a fictional company called "ThrillLab." The concept is a company who sells customizable model roller coaster kits.
Divided States Poster
December 2024, Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop
This is a poster created to highlight the issue of political division in the USA, calling for civility when it comes to disagreements on political and social issues.
Initial Lettermark
September 2024, Adobe Illustrator, 8"x 8"
This was a lettermark I made based on my initials, restricted to one uppercase and one lowercase letter. The process started with creating a word list that described me (reliable, determined, complex, and introspective) before picking typefaces that I felt accurately reflected those words (Helvetica Oblique and Rockwell Italic) and making a mark that reflected the word list.
Bartstar Music Logo
July 2023, Adobe Illustrator
This was a logo I created for a friend who wanted to start a music business.
Rollback Logo
June 2024, Adobe Illustrator
A logo I created for "Rollback: Stunt Coaster," which is a custom model Lego roller coaster I built and have displayed at Brickfair Virginia each year.
The full model can be seen under the "Physical Art" section of my portfolio.
Rollback Supersonic Logo
December 2024, Adobe Illustrator
Another version of the Rollback logo I created. Being the insane theme park enthusiast I am, I thought it would be fun to create a version of this logo for a reimagining of the ride (even though said "reimagining" doesn't exist yet).
Voltage Typeface Poster
December 2022, Adobe Illustrator, 11" x 17"
This poster showcases the “Voltage” typeface by designer Laura Worthington. The composition and color palette takes inspiration from Laura’s own usage examples of this typeface.
Free Comic Book Day Poster
May 2023, Adobe Illustrator, 11” x 17”
This is a poster I created for free comic book day. While the Iron Man depiction is based on an image, all of the shapes were created manually by using the pen tool. The text at the top was also made using the pen tool, and is not a typeface.
Star Wars Polish Movie Poster
March 2023, Adobe Illustrator, 11” x 17”
For this project, I tried to emulate the style of many polish posters. This poster specifically is for the first "Star Wars" film, and features the Death Star firing a laser at the planet Alderaan. Blending methods and stock assets are to achieve specific textures.
Custom Instagram Ad
April 2023, Adobe Photoshop, 8" x 8”
This project involved making a series of unofficial Instagram advertisements for Mountain Dew. The Mountain Dew "Spark" ad in particular was the most difficult, as it was a challenge to find adequate smoke stock images for free. The Spark can is my own photograph.
Lotus Temple Poster
March 2023, Adobe Photoshop, 11" x 17"
A poster that features the Lotus Temple in India, advertising a fictional event held there.
"Mr. Shades" Collection
December 2022, Adobe Illustrator
A series of artworks featuring a character made completely from letters. The typeface used was "Voltage" by Laura Worthington.
