Creating a poster for the USS Minnesota for a friend of mine to help with his freelance opportunity. My first chance to work with hand written type, and I think it came out really well! I am really happy with how the poster is coming along and am looking forward to the feedback from the client! Wish me luck!

Finally got to a final poster for the movie,Lady of the Dead!It was definitely a lengthy process but from where they started to now, the improvements have helped to make an interesting and professional looking poster!

These are what I’ve gotten to so far on the posters for Lady of the Dead.I think they are really coming along, especially from where they were! Caitlin, the director, seems to really be liking them as well! There’s some changes I already know I’ll be making, just haven’t gotten around to it, but I will post the finals as soon as they are done!

An enchanting display of the beauty of nature!

Did a quick minimalistic poster for the Lady of the Dead movie I've been working on. The style of make-up and decorations of Dia De Los Muertos was the inspiration for this. Not what they were looking for, but thought it could be an interesting alternative and I just wanted to try my hand at some more minimal designs!

I've recently been working on another set of movie posters for a friend of mine. The short film is called Lady of the Dead, and it's about this couple who has been separated by death. On Dia De Los Muertos (Day of the Dead), Lucinda, the deceased wife of Gustavo comes back only to find that her husband has still not come to celebrate with her. The film depicts Gustavo's guilt of Lucinda's death and how his love for her allows him to overcome that. The posters use still from the film and color schemes directly related to the holiday in order to enhance the themes. They are still works in progress, but final versions will be posted soon!

Some awesome black and white typographic logos. Love the simplicity and cleanness to these! It's always so fascinating how the letters come together and connect. Love it!!

The final logo for Lagi Nadeau, a talented fashion and jewelry designer. So happy to have worked with her and come up with this concept. I think it turned out very well, can't wait to see it applied to tags and bags! Happy to say I have now completed my first work as a freelancer!

Finished the minimalist poster for the movieThe Papers. Super excited to see it go into production and get sent out. I'm sure the awesome short film will do well at the festivals it's being entered in, which will also help get my work out there!

Just found at my sister is engaged and for me, that meant looking at amazing typographic invitations! Seeing as she's a designer as well, she wants to make her own, but I will try my hand at it as well!

Had an amazing commencement ceremony at the Chicago Theater yesterday! It was so lively and the speakers were interesting. I just can't believe it's over. Up until now the summers always meant dreading the beginning of school in September, but now a new journey awaits me! It's frightening but exhilarating at the same time. Can only hope to enjoy it as I go!

Got my printed business cards the other day and could not be happier with them! They turned out above and beyond my expectations thanks to uvcards. If you ever need anything printed, I recommend them!

A completely revised version of the Mies van der Rohe poster recently poster, not that you could tell they are related, both are so different. Regardless, this is the final one! Pretty excited about it. The graphic is very Mies...

Trying to create a minimalistic poster for a short film coming out sometime this summer, and just love the idea. I hope mine can encapsulate the essence of the movie as well as some of them do. I'll be posting my progress soon!

This is possibly the best iPhone case I have seen, and it pains me that it's not yet in production. But I swear, my phone will remain naked until I can purchase one of these genius cases. Hurry up Belkin, I drop my phone too often not to have this!

Making a poster that encompasses the style and essence of Mies Van Der Rohe. It has to be completely type free and still be able to speak of him. Updates soon!

"Adworkers has always maintained their identity of being honest, hardworking, and true. We've designed a membership card that not only represents these characteristics, but utilized each of them in the actual creation process. We honestly think our idea is awesome. It took a lot of hard work, and beers, to chalk the design. And we truly enjoyed making this project from start to finish. Adworkers is about bringing the advertising community together, so it's fitting that collaboration between the four of us made this membership card design possible.
