Colorado Springs Travel Poster

For this project in my Illustration and Type class, I designed a travel poster for a place of my choice. I decided to do Colorado Springs, CO because of how beautiful the rocky mountain landscape is. I decided to show Pikes Peak, Garden of the Gods, and downtown Colorado Springs to show both scale and color.
Instead of working traditionally like I normally do, I decided to digitally paint my image in Photoshop, and work the type in through Illustrator.

Trade Gothic Posters

One of the classes that I am taking this semester is Illustration & Type. These are the first two posters that I designed in the class, which focus on the typeface Trade Gothic. Trade Gothic is a Sans Serif typeface, created by Jackson Burke in 1948. They typeface was commonly used for headlines in newspapers.
Both of these posters were designed on Indesign. The 2nd poster, the newspaper was hand drawn and scanned in. I used both Photoshop and Illustrator before placing it into Indesign.

Exploring is Out There!

Another class that I am taking this semester is Design of Advertising.  Our first project was to make a personal advertisement to advertise ourselves to a design company.  For my advertisement, I wanted to show that I am an illustrator, artist, and designer.  I also wanted to show how playful and adventurous my work is, especially since a lot of my work is geared towards children.  The way that I did that is by digitally painting myself, exploring and discovering new things, like a child.  In the background, I made my drawings and the words "Exploring is Out There" as constellations in the sky.
