Wild Wings Ad: March 11, 2014
This is a simple ad for Wild Wings Cafe. I have a strong portfolio that shows my skill in typography and, flyers but I lacked in showing more of my love of ad design which is like my love of poster design. I'm very versatile in my style of design even if I am a fan of humor and playfulness which you may tell from my other pieces. I'm a big fan of Illustrator, but I can pull my weight in Photoshop and Indesign as shown in this ad design. (I do not own these photos. Only used for example design purposes)

February 3, 2014: Vintage Crate Label Project (Spoof)
Assorted Bandages and medical waste Spoof. For this project the directions were to create a crate label from a list of gross choices and make them look friendly and safe. Some choices were "Coagulated refrigerator sludge", "Assorted bandages and medical waste", "Bag of sharp broken glass" "Road kill patties", and one other. People that have seen this Laugh then pause in wonder of why is there a happy boy happy about holding bio hazard waste till I tell them that its all a spoof graphic. Some people read it and don't notice what is going on till a few seconds checking out the detail or wondering how I made the graphic look vintage.
February 3, 2014: Remake a Magazine Spread
For this project; recreate a magazine from bottom up. Change the target audience, experiment with layout and type, and Completely change the logo and overall look of the original. I chose the Magazine Skate Slate. It was a really dull and very boring when it came to the layout. The logo was ok, but I figured it would be more attractive to flair it up with type work. So in the logo I hid the "8" in the letter "k" but if you look and understand things about skateboarding, there you will find that it looks like a skate bowl and it still reads Skate Slate (Sk8 Slate). When it comes to layout, I love playing with setup and type. I used layers and bright colors for it reminds me of graffiti except type wise and legible and clean.
