papers...

I am excited to say that I have two fabulous wedding invites that will be finished by next month! I have had quite an experience in designing these as well as figuring out how they will be assembled and what kinds of papers to use! I can't wait to show off the final product as they should be super cute. I am so bad at this blogging thing. I do not do enough fun design to blog about lately. I hope that will soon change. In the meantime, Chipotle, one of my most favorite places to chow down, has a new take away menu. I mostly collected this as a paper sample because it will most likely be used within one of the invites. Oh Chipotle, how I love you...

I have also decided that this blog will not only contain my work, but I will be sharing tangible design that I cross in my path. Like the above menu! Did I mention how awesome the shape and size is too? Love it.

Hello blog world! I have been quite the busy bee. I figured my lunch hour could be a good time to post a few things that I have been up to lately. From my new full time job to wedding invites, and other freelance work, I have been keeping myself good and busy. Not to mention the Suns being in the playoffs has taken up some of my time. My little sister is off to NYC for the summer. I am so proud of her! Good luck Ems! Can't wait to visit...

GO SUNS! Graphic is from my fan t-shirt :o)

And not to mention my friend Julia's save the dates that I designed! Now it's time to get moving on the invites and rest of the design for her September weekend wedding. So excited!

Oh Bob...

Just a little headshot. This is my dear friend Bob. He is setting out to NYC after his graduation from ASU to start his own company. He was in need of a head shot, and here we have it! How handsome...

Save the Dates Already?

Julia & Rico are getting married in September!!! Ahhh! So excited to be a bridesmaid, in addition to doing all of her wedding design work! Keep your eyes pealed for the real thing! Here is one idea I have come up with...which she really really liked, but we are going to do a little bit of a different idea...

My work found all over! Well, a few places...

My friend Ana just sent out her save the date magnets! She used one of my photos for them...

On St. Patrick's Day I stopped by KO Donnell's to check out the work I had done for ReThinc! The poster turned out great, as did the fliers...

Bring on the green beer!

I can't believe it's already St. Patrick's Day again. How is time going this fast? So scary. Well, here is my accessory of the year! Have a pinch free day!

Gotta love the Guinness Fedora...

A Special Project...

Take a sneak peak at a project I am working on for the annual BOMA Chicago event! More to be revealed in the next few months...

Red Carpet, Hollywood theme anyone?

2010 Portfolio!

So today I spent many hours on a nice portfolio for myself and my lovely work. I thought 2010 would be the perfect year to make one. I can't wait to add more work to it! Preview...

(Directly above is some work that I've done for ReThinc Advertising, where I have been interning for the past three months. I created this new, fun style for KO Donnell's!)

Become a sponsor!

New project for the new Whole Foods Market Network, which will soon be on display in valley wide Whole Foods grocery stores! I was working with Advision Media, LLC. on a media kit for distribution amongst potential sponsors of the Whole Foods Market Network. The 14 page layout contains information on the program, forms for applying to become a sponsor, and a file prepping form. Here are a few pages from the media kit...

And Printed!

Finally got my hands on some copies of the brochures! Turned out quite beautifully, if I do say so myself...

Logo Design.
Layout.
Diagram Design.
And the words on the back (which you can see in my previous post) I formed into the word "TRAINED". Boy was that a fun puzzle!
Mission complete.

Brochure Complete!

In need of a place to "Train to be Legendary"? Look no further. EAI (Explosive Athlete's Institute) is an athletic training company this is up and coming. These guys have a great business beginning and I look forward to seeing it thrive this year! They were in need of a tri-fold brochure to expand their market, mainly to high school athletes, in addition to a simple, yet strong logo. Here's the final result!

Blog Headers for Earrings...

My dear friend Jeanelle is far away in Barcelona, Spain pursuing her Masters in International Business. She has become quite the blogger to keep everyone up to date with the things she has been doing while away. She so kindly asked if I would design a fun blog header for her, as she was quite over the default text title. I miss her dearly, but she is off, Tasting the World. I can't wait to hear all about her time living in Barcelona and I really hope to go visit her sometime this year.

So here we have it, blog header in exchange for beautiful Spanish earrings! Jeanelle, you are fabulous, and I must say, get back to your blogging missy!
