Italian American Heritage

This was for Advance Photoshop Class Fall 2009 semester. Needless to say, I schooled it. I would have changed the clouds background, brightned up the flag a little bit & changed the type at the bottom to another type face.

This was a PSA for my Design 2 Class. Its obviously not the right size, but its suppose to be a CTA bus ad. Something you would see on the side of a bus.

This was another project to show type formation.

Typography 101

I obviously didn't do the clip art, I pulled it from the itnernet, but this was to show type formation in InDesign

Homage Piece - Project 1

This was for Design 2 class. David Carson designed the House of Blues logo & the project was to re-create a famous designers work. So I chose this one, being I like the 'grunge' style & I like music.

This was all done in Adobe Illustrator.

For ya Mama Mixtape Vol. 1

Another on-disc design that went to production via Disc Makers. 1000 of these were pressed up & sold all over in Chicago-land & surrounding areas. This is about 3 years old as of November 10'

This was done in Photoshop. I had never even opened illustrator until a few months after this was done, but had I known it, it would have made this project a little easier for me.

Art & More

This was a myspace music background. The first thing the guest saw when they would click onto there page (when myspace was relevant). Minus the obvious inappropriate subject matter to the right, I thought this was a good piece. This is an example of "I didn't write the book, I just read it." They told me what they wanted, and I actually exceeded what they wanted & they were very happy with the way it turned out. This is actually 2+ years old. still a good peice none-the-less.
