Partner of The Year Announcement to Students

This is the second e-mail announcement. Definitely a lot different than the first, which I guess is the point because partners and students are completely different. I used Illustrator for everything except for the little computer which I edited in Photoshop. I really like how clean and modern this ended up. 

Partner of The Year Announcement

TransAmerica Training Management was awarded Partner of the Year from Oracle University, and they asked me to come up with announcements that they could send out to their customers and partners. This is one of 3 that I am working on, I have yet to do the staff and student ones.. 

I'm pretty excited about the students announcement, because they want that one to be more fun and colorful.

United Way Benefit Concert Program

A couple friends asked me to do a design for their upcoming benefit concert. They told me they wanted to incorporate a peace sign, music (since it was a concert) and the slogan of United Way. I got some inspiration from a picture I saw, added more character to the peace sign, used some music and splatter brushes. 

I really think that this did a great job of using all the elements they wanted, and the outfolded hands show the idea of giving back with peace and music. 

Seeing stars :)

I was listening to High School Musical's "Breaking Free" and was somehow inspired to draw lots of stars.. With the help of this tutorial I was able to do so in about 15 minutes. You draw a star, change the colors, then duplicate them over and over.. Scatter them and voila! 

I also added some lyrics from the song. Using the "type on a path tool."

This is embarrassing, but it's my first attempt.

Sooooo, I just got Adobe Illustrator :) and I have been trying all day to figure it out.. and I have to say, that it is pretty hard to do the switch from Photoshop to Illustrator. It was pretty frustrating, but thanks to this wonderful site that helped explain to me how to make clouds.. 

Hah, it seems pretty stupid, but I've got to start somewhere. I'll get better soon. I promise! 

TAM Training Powerpoint Template

So I was asked to upgrade the design template for powerpoint presentations used for marketing and as a greeting in their regional offices. I included the locations of their offices, their slogan, and logo. I left enough space for them to put lots of text and information in powerpoint, and used some vector brushes to give the background a more modern feel. 

Music Club T-shirt Design

This was an original design that was inspired by something I found on deviantArt. The music club was made up of members who played piano, sang, played violin, and all sorts of instruments. I wanted to make the design interesting and so it could be worn by both guys and girls. I manipulated an image of a piano, compiled some music and used splatter brushes, flowers, and music notes so I could have a nice full design that would take up most of the front of the shirt. 

It was printed on a black t-shirt, and the colors along with the design looked amazing.
