My mother asked me to create an invitation for her staff holiday get-together. Not bad for an hour or so. Unfortunately I like it – a lot – so it’ll be tough to get it out of my head when I do our holiday greetings this year. … Read more…
I’ve not had very many design-related posts lately. Work was running me dry so my energy was depleted by 7 p.m. every Monday through Friday. On weekends the house usually bogarts our time, which I’m alright with since I love it so much and all, but it just leaves so little time for actual creative design. Well, that is, until May 30. Today marks one month since my last day at College of Architecture. After nearly five years at OU I decided I wanted to … Read more…
… for the TBCH Golf Tourney! Or at least the publicity design for the tournament. Though my only experience with golf involves cussing and pounding my clubs into the ground at the driving range (in hindsight, probably unappreciated by my fellow drivers), Thunderbird Clubhouse lets me do whatever I want when it comes to design. It’s like being my own boss, but for a good cause! This year we decided to go with circus imagery… AND I’M SO FREAKING EXCITED! I’ve never done … Read more…

C’mon, Friday! I have a work-free week waiting for me on the other side of you! Until then, I’ll just have to bide my time and enjoy the link provided by one of my favorite blogs How About Orange. These designer chair desktops are amazing, I may have to replace my “retro electronic cats European advertisement” image with one of these. They are available for Mac of PC (I don’t know the difference, I just know there are two files in there) and … Read more…
Last week I mentioned designing a friend’s wedding invitations. When she’s not flooding me with links to ideas, here’s how our conversations go: I don’t treat all my clients this well, just the ones I’ve known for 8 years. … Read more…
I’ve been designing the wedding stationary for a friend whose wedding is in September. She’s having a “rustic” wedding and it’s been interesting learning to design around someone like her. She’s great and very easy to work with but she also has an array of things she likes. She’s sent me countless links to sample invitations and suites and rarely do they have features that can be combined. Some modern, some very traditional, some more stylized. Anyway, I tried to use a … Read more…
Over my 21-month employment here at the university, I’ve done some amazing things when it comes to design. I’ve created crisp new logos, I’ve designed pieces with only a whisper of direction from my superiors, I’ve been recognized by others on campus for my contributions to our college communications…. but somehow the one thing that always gets the best reaction is my ability to use Photoshop… (Click the images to see them larger.) These are just for fun and thankfully everyone is … Read more…
