Samples of my work

The top 5 images in the left column are random logos I have created using Photoshop. The logos can be used for business cards, bumper stickers, flyers, or other advertising and promotion. I pay special attention to the layout and design before thinking about color; however colors are the wildcard. Sometimes logos look better without color. I try to use color to emphasize something rather than dominate the entire logo with it.
The top 2 images in right column are samples of a wedding invitation cover and of a yearbook ad. These show the variety and colors I use when thinking about designs and layout for a specific item. (Yearbook ad is navy and silver since that is their school colors.)
Further down in the left column are 2 images of the Eiffel Tower. I used a couple of filters from Photoshop to radically change the image and give it a desired effect (one is grain; the other is wind). I like using filters and they usually generate extra interest in a photograph as well as create a different perspective. This is especially true of online images.
Last image in left column is a random design I generated from Illustrator. It's nothing fancy; but I liked the abstract mood it created and the colors. I was showing one of my students how to use the program. The student didn't believe me when I tried to explain everything Illustrator can do. Upon seeing this design, she was hooked. (I have taught Graphic Design, Desktop Pubishing, Digital Photography, CADD, and Advanced Graphic Design since 2001 at the local high school.)
