SCALED GAME CARDS

I was contacted by someone who was in the process of making a table top card-board game hybrid.

They had a race of creatures called scaled that they needed illustrated designs for, they gave me prompts and rough idea of what they were looking for which ultimately I would give them 3 rough draft ideas for them to pick from for the final designs.
These are the final designs for the cards.

MINNESOTA LIFE
2022 STATE FAIR
DESIGN

Local radio station KS95 was having a contest for people to submit a design for the upcoming state fair booth t-shirt.
The only condition was it needed to incorporate Minnesota, I decided to look into everything that has been invented, created, or just iconic to Minnesota, created small vector images that became part of a larger image.

Two color options where designed as well as two different slogans.
One is using the MN state flag colors meant to be used on a darker background
The other is using brighter popular colors meant to be used on a lighter toned background

BENNETTO'S BYTES ADVERTISING MATERIALS

While working with Bennetto's Bytes on their website design, I was further asked to help come up with some advertising materials and business cards for use.
The advertising materials they had in mind were a magnet and a doorhanger, but they were undecided about the tone they wanted to go for. I did several doorhanger designs ranging from a more humorous tone to a more serious tone.

WALKS WITH WOOFS ADVERTISING MATERIALS

While working with Walks with Woofs creating their website I was asked if I could do some advertising materials for them as well. Once more I made a business card, but a flyer with tear away strips for hanging around town.

The idea specifically behind the business card was to stay away from the generic overly done image of a person walking a dog, I instead thought of "what else do dogs do when it's time for a walk?" well they make all sorts of happy noises! That was the premises of the card design

FAST HORSE
INTERNSHIP DESIGN

While making the leap from purely graphic design doing very basic advertising materials I applied for a internship position at a much more digitally based agency.
Part of the internship application was I needed to design a poster for a after hours event, I did a 8 Bit style as old school video game graphics were becoming a popular art form.
