life is a work in progress; see it from behind the scenes

Délateur

I'm turning in my bottle series project tomorrow, and I've taken a couple of camera phone shots of it. I've got to pick up my camera from my parents' house to step up the quality here in a while...

The project was to create a pair of bottles for some product. I did a vodka/tonic brand called "Délateur" which in French means 'canary' in the sense of a tattle tale (according to my favorite dictionary). The company name ties into the design of the piece with a canary yellow color for the type, pattern, and the inside of the label (visible through the bottle), and the name also connects with the product, in the fact that the more you drink, the more you're likely to tell...

So, here's the pair and a crappy detail shot of the labels.

Come to the Cross

This is the rave card concept for Shandon's annual pre-Easter modern worship event. The mood for the event is somber, introspective, and almost dark (as reflected in this concept) rather than typical bright Easter colors.

*The cards are cut to bleed, but I love the black stripe hanging over on the comp sheet.

March of Dimes

This was a 2 hour project for an actual client, the SC National Guard's March of Dimes. This is a 3 color screenprint for the back of their T-shirts.

UPDATE:

My design is one of the two finalists for the actual shirt. Wouldn't hurt my feelings to have it as a pro-bono client in the ol' portfolio...

Funday Sunday Logo

This is a logo for my church's funday sunday, a carnival-type of event targetting children & young families. They asked for something very 'fun' and kiddy. It's definitely not my style, but I'm pleased with what what came out of the process.

Spring Retreat

Spring Retreat came and went and was nice while it lasted.

The design stuff for it turned out well and it meant I got to use the letterpress (and count it for a project). The theme for the retreat was "Fly" (subtitle: recognizing and realizing your God-given dream), based also on Romans 13:8—generously paraphrased down to: "the debt I owe is love."
