margarita night flyer
being a graphic designer, i can’t just “throw something together.” this is one of those cases. at one of my old apartments, i lived with two other girls (both mac nerds, btw) and we decided to throw a “margarita night” party. so i opened up illustrator and drew my favorite type of margarita — a strawberry margarita, and made little handouts to advertise the party. the handouts were simple, party info and directions to the apartment— and it worked. tons of people showed up and the party was a huge success!
tammy ann winn - t-shirt design
this is one of the many projects i did for a local milwaukee singer-songwriter, tammy ann winn. the goal was a simple one color tshirt design that was not “album-specific” so that she could sell these even after her next cd release. the client wanted a similar design as another client of mine, with the “sketchy outline” feel. several color combinations were created for reference.
watermark 2004-05 cd
the theme was “calm the storm”, and instead of doing a stereotypical display of “storm”, i decided to create this cd cover (and the design on the cd itself) using only text.
t-shirt: japan - usa
my family has a fairly long history of housing an exchange teacher (from either china or japan) for a couple months during the school year. every year i would design a t-shirt or sweatshirt to give to our guests. this was the front of one of those shirts
harry w. schwartz ads
i worked for 6 months as the art director / graphic designer / web designer / photographer (etc.) for a small local milwaukee bookstore chain. these are just a couple of the simple black and white ads that i created.
