Holiday Cards I made my holiday cards for Valentine’s Day and Christmas. I wanted to make a Christmas card where the customer could customize it with family photos but I didn’t think that was possible with our way of selling the cards so I settled for an ornament. I chose to go with a heart […]
Firehouse Project I was shocked when I saw that not many others did a simplistic design, which somewhat worries me, but I think my design would be pretty eye grabbing in an aisle full of black, red, and green labels. I wanted to Fuego Casa to be more than just one flavor of hot sauce […]
Doodle 4 Google My first few ideas for this contest were the advancements of technology and new discoveries in old laws and theories (Newton’s Laws of Motion, Einstein’s Theory of Relativity, etc…). After generating a few ideas I realized the limits put on my ideas do to budget constraints and international relations. While war helps […]

Illustrator I started out my personal experience with Illustrator with a Batman logo tutorial. After reading through it, I was most intrigued by the gradients and how they drastically changed the look in one simple step. I used the first day of being able to work on something of my own to design […]
Creating my personal avatar was fairly easy but was quite generic. So I gave my avatar a small but conspicuous difference in appearance from what I look like in real life. When starting to pin photos to general topics, like photography and typography, I was not finding all the types of photos I would […]
