POSTER

I made this poster to promote a show at the local cafe. Both photographs and design are my material.

TRIFOLD

I created this trifold to promote the Denver Marathon to diabetic athletes and help them easily see what the event would require of them, how they could sign up, and get a glimpse of how much fun they would have.

MAGAZINE SPREAD

So, over my Christmas break, I decided to give myself a little assignment, and I created a Vogue magazine spread about my sister. I figured, hey, she wants to be a rockstar, I think it would be awesome to work at Vogue, why don't we both live out our dreams right now? Finding my brother's old motorcycle clothes proved to be all the inspiration we needed to get started. We had a photo shoot and a full-on interview, the whole shabang.

PHOTOGRAPHY

This is a combination of photos from a recent photo job with twins. I wanted to show the progression by using a series to show how they interacted and never stopped moving! :)

BAND PROMOTIONAL POSTER

This is the promotional poster I created for my sister's first public show in Seattle. I went to a coffee shop and observed a wall of posters. I realized that the ones that stood out the best were the ones that had plenty of white space, minimal information, and faces (I learned back in design class that the first thing our brains recognize is a human face, followed by type). 

I matched the design to her cd covers, which are very simple, but bright. The lettering mimics the cd cases, which are hand stenciled. The bottom photo shows the poster in action, with Avena playing her music in the background! I was quite pleased with how they printed, even from Staples. 

CD DESIGN

I've been working with my sister to design and create her first cd's. Her goal was for the design to be simple and striking, and evoke a bit of a Native American feel. After trying several methods, I ended up creating a stencil and applying acrylic with a sponge brush to cardboard "re-sleeves" that are made of 100% recycled materials. It has been an extremely fun process. :) I submitted the design for the cd itself online to a short-run printing place.

SAVE THE DATE

I had the privilege to both take my friends' engagement photos and work with them to create a unique save the date. She wanted a sort of warm, vintage/classic look to match the look and feel of her summer wedding.
