‘Live Green’ Event Poster

I designed this poster in theme along with a select few other pieces (you may have already seen the magazine cover I posted a couple of days ago.) I was shooting for a natural, textured look to go along woth the theme of eco-friendly and renewable, and the textured/recycled paper fit the bill perfectly! I was able to scan in the torn edges from a very handy scrap-booking paper book of my fiance’s (she’s okay with it, I think…) and then separate the edges to manipulate them. Now, I have an awesome poster and textured paper stock photos to use again later (I have many colors, mind you.)

The poster was assembled in Adobe Photoshop, though the logo was created in Adobe Illustrator. The paper is self scanned stock, under royalty-free vector brush set. Copy set in Photoshop.

Environmental Awareness Poster

Environmental awareness poster designed as a call to action for a college Space & Layout course. I wanted to keep the design as minimal, yet concise as I could, while not being ambiguous as to the nature of the problem. Also, just to note; the URL in the poster is just a commentary, not an actual site! Just a word of warning for those who will inevitably try that URL.

I used Adobe Illustrator exclusively with royalty free stock imagery from Stock.Xchng.

‘Living Green’ Magazine Cover

I designed this mock magazine cover with simplicity in mind, as cluttered magazine covers tend to lean toward the tabloid classification, and that tends to strip away credibility. I created the masthead logo in Illustrator, which I was able to carry over to a cross promotional project poster that I will post later on. The appeal is a magazine that is dedicated to educating everyday consumers about more economically sensible living and solutions to the lack thereof.

I used a combination of Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator to create the cover, and the image of the hands were royalty free stock from the agency Stock.xchng.

Event Promotional Poster

This piece was created using a photo I shot of a local skateboarder, along with some stock photography I had also shot of paint swirls. I wanted to keep the visuals minimal to keep the message concise, as well as to not overwhelm the actual informational copy. The impact of the message was furthered by keeping the imagery high-contrast. The entire poster is vectorized, and can be printed to the size limits of the hardware being used.

I will be submitting this piece into the Anne Arundel Community College Student Art Show, which will take place in the John A. Cade center for Fine Arts Gallery from April 5th through the 8th. There is complete information on the show at the AACC official page, so check it out! Hopefully my work will be selected to be entered, and I also hope I’ll see you there!
