Photos w/o the flash...a new experience

We went to a candlelight tour of Fort Vancouver one night, since Jeff hasn't ever been here. We will go back soon when it isn't dark and rainy so Jeff can learn more. I'm not taking classes anymore so I will just be doing self-taught projects from now on. Life is never predictable.

New items

I am trying to make more of a portfolio and show what I have done, even if it isn't a lot. So here are some past school assignments. I think I like simplicity more than a lot of things going on in an image. Maybe it's just because I'm a novice. Enjoy!

 This was to create a logo designing with type for a gourmet food market.

 This was for a business logo for a pet grooming/boarding place.

This was to show how different typefaces/fonts show what the business is about through the design of the logo. Starting from the top left going clockwise: a law firm, a day spa, a clothing store, an Italian restaurant, and a daycare center.

Digital Illustration

Ok, so most of my extra time lately has gone towards things that are good, but not necessarily creative. So for my class this session I am taking Digital Illustration. I love it and am learning a ton; even though this is the second I have taken it. I wish the class was longer and we could learn how to do even more with Illustrator because I feel like I can do things more quickly and what I am envisioning it to look like. I still have a lot to learn and get better at but this is an assignment that I think is/was pretty fun. It started with a product design (the theme was toys) and then a logo design and then choosing what you wanted and now creating an add. So, here is my assignment for school for y'all to enjoy. And yes, I have seen the "How to Train Your Dragon" movie, it was my inspiration.

Something I'm working on

Well, I know this blog is inconsistent but I have been working on some things for my father in-law and his side/retirement business. I started a blog is you want to check it out, but it is still a work in progress: kingvallybuffalo.blogspot.com
Oh, here is a sample business card I was playing around with too. I think it might be too busy for a business card, but it's a start!
