The Saskatchewan Parks and
Recreat ion Associat ion had
recent ly made a new logo for
one of the i r programs.
They wanted four new manual
covers to ref lect th is new logo.
They provided me wi th four
photos f rom iS tock in which
I colour cor rected, removed
backgrounds and cropped
accord ing to the i r requests .
I prov ided them with three ideas
and they real ly l iked th is des ign .

Indesign Th is project was to make a menu for the
Hol lywood Sandwich Shoppe.
Each menu was to inc lude the logo,
name, address and a specia l feature
of the restaurant .
I t was to be pr in ted on let ter s ize paper
and only black ink was to be used.
They d id not want anyth ing too fancy
and over ly expens ive, as they pr in t new
menus every month . There also was not
supposed to be any bleeds .
A l l text , logo and address was
provided by the cl ient , except for the
Specia l Feature in which I was to make
someth ing up and f ind a picture to match .

For th is project we were to develop a Promot ional K i t
for the Sand Creek Count ry Club . There was to be
a pocket fo lder , 3 staggered inser ts (Weddings,
Cur l ing and Gol f ) , and 2 di f ferent logos . Al l the
text was provided to us, but we were to f ind al l the
p ictures (color cor rect them, and des ign the 2 logos .
I went wi th a gol f course for the outs ide of the pocket
fo lder , as when most people th ink of Count ry Clubs, they
th ink of gol f .
The inser ts were to inc lude the Sand Creek Logo and
then we were requi red to f ind support ing images .

For th is project I had to develop a logo that
I could cut out of v iny l . I was given complete
creat ive f reedom. The only requi rements that I had to
meet was that i t had to be at least two colours
and i t had to be ei ther 10' ' ta l l or 10' ' wide.
I came up wi th the idea to make a logo for an
upscale n ight c lub . I came up wi th a colour
scheme that I l iked and then began incorporat ing
support ing features . The sound bars on top
ind icated that there wi l l be mus ic in the club . The
mart in i s and the top hat could also give of f the
impress ion that the n ight c lub is more upscale than a
regular c lub .

I made a logo for the Humane Society . We
could use whatever name we would l ike as wel l
as creat ive f reedom over colours and des ign .
I decided to use Rocky Mounta in Humane
Society . I used th is because I thought i t would
be n ice to incorporate mounta ins as par t of the
logo. I came up wi th a colour scheme I l iked wi th
the orange and blue, but somehow needed to
inc lude an animal s ince i t was for the Humane
Society . I put a s i lhouet te of a cat play ing wi th
the let ter R on the lef t hand s ide.
I a lso had to come up wi th a tagl ine to f i t wi th
the organizat ion and the logo.
He lp ing lost pets reach new heights seemed
l ike the perfect tagl ine as i t incorporated the pets
that the Humane Society helps as wel l as takes
in to account The Rocky Mounta ins by ment ion ing
the i r height .

Illustrator
For the Sand Creek Promot ional K i t , we were to develop
2 logos . One logo was to be thei r Corporate Logo and
the other was to be thei r 100th anniversary Logo.
The corporate logo I made inc ludes the image of a
c lubhouse, that could represent the County Club Clubhouse,
and some pine t rees . I p icked the dark green to represent a
more ear thy or natura l feel .
The 100th Anniversary Logo was a image of a creek in the
background ins ide a ci rc le . Then I jus t wrote the years , and
the name.

We were to create a movie poster for the movie
t i t led Above and Beyond. I t focuses on the
f i r s t U .S Ai rborne uni t . The poster was to inc lude
images f rom around WW2 and s ince the movie
is focused on the Ai rborne un i t , p lanes and
parachutes were recommended for images .
I t a lso was to inc lude logos f rom both movie
studios involved, and the Not Yet Rated logo.

For th is ad, I s tar ted wi th a picture that
I had taken of th is watch . Next I
i so lated i t and then us ing Photoshop, I
made th is ad for Koni fer watches . Some of
the sk i l l s I ut i l i zed in th is ad were the use
of a gradient to blend the backgrounds .
I used layer ef fects to al ter the look
of the text . I a lso desaturated parts of
the picture to appear b lack/whi te and
colour for a di f ferent look ing ef fect .

For th is project , I s tar ted wi th th is p icture of a
jersey that I took . I then found a picture of a spor ts
locker , desaturated i t to make the focus on the
jersey . I then used layer ef fects on the jersey to
make i t look di r t ie r . I found a picture of some mud
splat ter , I made i t in to a pat tern and then used
pat tern over lay to make the jersey di r ty . I a lso
added my own hanger in the jersey, as the hanger
in the or ig ina l jersey did not do the job.
I then, through the use of Emboss/Bevel in layer
s ty le ef fects , t r ied to make the words looks l ike they
were etched into the wood.
F ina l ly we also had to create a logo, which in th is
case I made a logo for an ath let ics company.

Metropol i tan LA and c lean up the images .

For th is project I s tar ted wi th th is bas ic picture
of a downtown area. I then, through the use
of layer masks and other ef fects , made i t
look l ike the bui ld ings were damaged. I a lso
added in a d i f ferent sky in the background
for a more gloomy effect . I a lso added ra in
and specks of dust for more ef fect and to
make i t look l ike th ings were f ly ing .
I then found pictures of two t ransformers ,
i so lated them and added them to my picture .
Us ing layer s ty les , I made them look a bi t
bet ter . I then made a custom brush to make
cracks appear in the st reet and to make i t
look l ike the i r feet were crack ing through the
pavement . I a lso layer masked a crumbl ing
st reet onto the regular s t reet for a more
damaged effect .
Some cont rast , br ightness and levels
adjustments f in i shed of f th is ad.
We also were to make another logo. I came
up wi th the name of B lack Eye Product ions ,
and came up wi th a logo that is a di f ferent
concept of what a black eye could be.

For th is project we were to develop a
banner for a company's Go Green
campaign . The banner was to represent
d i f ferent ways that people could Go Green.
Some i tems inc lude power windmi l l s , so lar
panels , and recycl ing bins .
Once we had the banner developed then we
were to f ind 3 images where our banner could
be disp layed.
Once we found the images, we had to
incorporate our banner in to the image to
look as natura l ly as poss ib le .
I chose to advert i se on the s ide of a bus, on a
bi l lboard and around a round bui ld ing .

For th is project , I s tar ted of f wi th th is p icture of
Adam Van Koeverden kayak ing . I i so lated
him and added him to a b lue background
that I had found. Next I made a custom brush
that sa id the words "Work Hard" and "T ry" . I
appl ied di f ferent set t ings to the brush such as
scat ter ing and brush dynamics .
Next I added the sp lashes to make them look
as real as poss ib le . I found pictures of sp lashes,
i so lated them and made them whi te .
F ina l ly I found the R io 2016 Olympics logo
and appl ied a couple of layer s ty le ef fects to
make i t s tand out a bi t . I a lso did the same wi th
the i r s logan, L ive Your Pass ion .

For th is project we were to exper iment wi th ,
hue, saturat ion and color balance. For th is
par t icu lar p icture I decided that I wanted al l
the di f ferent b lues to real ly come out . The logo
was blue and snow can typical ly be associated
wi th b lue as i t i s a cool colour . I increased the
saturat ion qui te a bi t and increased the blues in
the colour balance panel .
36
For th is project we were to incorporate hue, saturat ion
and colour balance as in previous projects , but then we
were to apply them to on ly cer ta in por t ions of the poster
as opposed to the whole th ing . I changed these aspects to
the cer ta in di f ferent f ighters on an ind iv idual bas is .
I a lso used di f ferent l ight ing ef fects to make the focus
on cer ta in f ighters . I t r ied to make each pai r ing of f ighters
look the same.
I a lso wanted to div ide the top and bot tom to separate
the main event f ighters f rom the rest of the card .

For th is project we were to incorporate everyth ing
the we had learned previous ly wi th hue,
saturat ion and colour balance, however now
we were to incorporate b lur r ing ef fects as wel l .
I decided to go wi th an ad for SADD, I used
the b lur r ing ef fect to s imulate the vis ion of
a drunk dr iver . I made sure to pay part icu lar
at tent ion to the person in the crosswalk and
make sure they were in the blur red sect ion, as to
s imulate that a drunk dr iver would not have seen
that person .

For th is project I real ly focused on l ight ing
ef fects . Al l of the people in the ad were
separate pictures , so I used the di f ferent
l ight ing ef fects and color balance to
make i t look l ike they al l belonged in
the same picture . I a lso used a separate
l ight ing ef fect to s imulate the sun . I
l iked the look of everyth ing being black
and whi te, except the t i t le at the top. I
a lso b lur red out the h ighway background
to br ing more focus to the people . I a lso
added a shadow to the t i t le at the t ime
as an added effect to the ad.

For th is ad we were to des ign a logo and use
a p icture that we had taken . The logo is
s imple, but gets the point across and is very easy
to unders tand. For the picture I wanted to br ing
the at tent ion to the dog, so I b lur red out
the background except for h im. I a lso changed
the colours around to make i t look more appeal ing
to the audience.

For th is project we were to des ign a logo and use a
p icture that we had taken . For the ad I wanted to
br ing at tent ion to the f lower , so I b lur red out the
background around the f lower . I a lso used a l ight ing
ef fects to s imulate sun l ight coming through the window. I
p layed around wi th the colours to br ing the pink out
and change the overa l l colour f rom the or ig ina l p icture .
The logo is again very s imple, but has the necessary
informat ion for the audience to unders tand what is going
on and what the ad is for .

For th is project we were to des ign a
logo and use a picture that we
had taken . I knew I wanted to make an ad for
a dr ink , so I had to iso late just the lemon and
l ime f rom the rest of the vegetables . Once I d id
that , I wanted to make the green and yel low
real ly s tand out , so I p layed around wi th the
colour saturat ion and colour balance unt i l
I was happy wi th the resu l ts . Next I added some
blur r ing ef fects to add emphas is to the water
drops on both pieces of f ru i t . I l i ke the look of
water drops in ads, and bel ieve to as important to
br ing at tent ion to them.
The logo, I th ink , i s very appropr iate for the ad. I t
uses colour samples f rom the actual f ru i t .

and whi te s i lhouet te of The Beat les walk ing
across Abbey Road. I then inver ted the
colours so that they were black . Then I
created a custom brush that looks l ike an
ink sp lat ter . I painted the whole background
in br ight , "psychedel ic " colours to represent
the era that The Beat les were big in . I a lso
found a picture of a peace s ign, def ined i t
as a brush and painted i t in the background
as wel l . I used layer s ty le ef fects to make
them clear , l ike they are coming out of the
background.
Next , I found The Beat les logo and used
layer ef fects such as Emboss/Bevel to
make i t s tand out . I d id the same wi th the
Grooveshark logo.

For th is project , I s tar ted of f wi th th is p icture of a Pat ron
bot t le that I took . I i so lated i t and added i t to the
background of a beach that I found. I used a gradient
wi th a layer mask to make a ref lect ion . I added a
para sa i ler in the background to give the ad a more
beach presence.
Then I added the Pat ron s logan and t r ied to make i t look
l ike i t was wr i t ten in the sand. I achieved th is by
adding layer s ty le ef fects . I f in i shed i t of f wi th a logo
that I made. I decided to make i t for a L iquor Store f rom
Pear l Ci ty .
