2019 In Review

2019 has been an incredible year and easily one of my best for graphic and web design. I feel like I became truly comfortable with all of my Adobe tools and have really moved towards creating more “professional” content. I think my understanding of spacing and various styles has become more refined. 2019 is probably the first year where I have generated so much content I’m happy with that I actually have trouble picking the things I want to showcase […]

Avengers

In my third week participating in the Dribbble Weekly Warm-Ups the challenge was to create a Playing Card. I started with the idea to do an Iron Man themed ace card however I ended up illustrating Avengers for the Ace of each suit. I think they turned out great for warm-ups and I even ended up producing some additional compositions using the illustrations I created during the warm-up. And here are those compositions I had mentioned above.

Dribbble Weekly Warm-Up

I’ve been participating in the Weekly Warm-Ups hosted by Dribbble and I feel as though I’ve been able to create some nice illustrations as a result. The first week I started the warm-ups, the challenge was to create something creepy. My entry was came together in a couple hours and I’m fairly happy with the result. The next weeks challenge was to create a stamp for a place you would like to visit. I chose Japan.

Mascot Logo

Over on r/logodesign a lot of designers have been creating various mascots or logos for fictional teams. After seeing all the different takes on the style I decided to give it a try with my own spin. I think my angles came out much sharper than some of the others which for mine makes the tiger look more ferocious. The big teeth help too! It was fun to sketch this out and experiment with a new style.

Product Illustrations

Been on a bit of a kick illustrating. I’ve just had a great time experimenting with different styles and this time is no exception. For a series of social media posts I created this illustrations that give a lo-fi version of our products with some details highlighted. It was fun to get my mockups of the different products and then simplify their overall aesthetic while still maintaining the overall concept of the product.

Scenic Illustrations

This started of as a series of quick illustrations, but I ended up really like how these turned out. I was mostly trying to apply the style I had been using for character illustrations in earlier posts like this one and apply it to different objects. I think this really became it’s own project though and I’m happy with the result. Both of the mountain illustrations were based on drawings from an old sketchbook that I dug up from a […]

Hello Dribbble!

I started a Dribbble account the other day and was invited to be a player. Members of the Dribbble community typically create a debut image showing their excitement to be a player on the court. I was able to quickly illustrate the image and had a pretty clear vision of what I wanted to do when I started out which made it much easier. Animating it on the other hand was another story. I didn’t prep the image as much […]

7 Days, 7 Illustrations

So a week ago I set a goal for myself to create a new illustration each day of the week, including weekends. I grew extremely accustomed to the style I have been working in recently with a bubbly style and clear highlights and lowlights. This all started with me getting extra excited about the Piranha Plant DLC in Super Smash Bros Ultimate. Anyway I’m a big fan of this style, especially for designing characters and I expect to use it […]

Habanero Hoops Logo

I was contacted by one of my friends on Snapchat of all places recently. Anyway, he wanted a logo for a sports podcast he and his buddy currently run. After he told me their name and that he wanted any sort of logo he could get… I was in. As soon as he described the hot takes personality of the show in line with its name, I had my idea for what the logo should be. These logos were created […]
