Logo, Header and Navigation Designs

These logo, header and navigation designs were done in my advance web design class. We are working on a mall website and several stores within the mall. Huge project, but will be fun to make. :)

Girls Birthday Invite

Bright and cheery for a bright and cheery little girl!

Sprit In Motion Logo

New logo design for a church group of new generation kids. The client wanted bright colors and a design of the new age.

Western Birthday Invite

Western birthday invitation for a 75th birthday party. I really liked this painting and added a cross shadow to the guitar. The birthday was for a pastor so I thought it fit well.

A Fairy Tale Project

My daughter loves the Disney Princess but she is getting to the age where she is almost getting past the princess stage. I wanted to capture her at this age with all of her dress up clothes. Here is a 8x10 I created of pictures of her. I had another project planned out of her in each of the costumes but I had a hard time choosing just one of each picture. This way it displays several of each.

The lighting isn't the best in this pictures. I was having a really hard time with that. I'm not a professional photographer by no means but I was trying my best. I did touch up several pictures in photoshop that had turned out too dark or there was minor fixing to do.

Picture Illustration

I really like photography. I like design of course. I think that is why I like photography, you can create some really personal work. That is the key.. creativity. If it involves me thinking up how to create something out of the box, I love it.

This was done for a Fathers Day gift. It balanced out nicely that Dad is three letters and there were three kids.

I was scared at first. The day of the small shoot was windy and soo hot. The kids were cranky and were worried about their hair blowing everywhere. Well it was, but with a few tools in photoshop I fixed a lot of it. I wanted to use jumbo sized wood letters that the kids held or sat on or leaned against, but I never made it to the store to purchase them. So photoshop saved me again. :)

Even though the kids hated the day of the pictures, they really liked how the picture turned out. And it looked nice in a white frame and a white matte. Very nice.

4x6 Photo Card Invitations

I still really love making Photo Card Invitations. Here is a precious little girls birthday party invite. I softened the picture to bring out more of the soft colors and it made it a little more pink to blend in with the rest of the pink shades. I am planning on a few more girl invitations and then I will be moving on to some boy themed invites.

It seems like I haven't really done much design work this month. I've been working on a website in class and it has taken up a lot of my time. It's turning out nicely. I'll share that once it goes live on the internet.

I do still play around. The most recent graphic was the blog header that I designed for my personal blog just in time for the Valentine holiday. I thought it was cute for the holiday spirit...

Here is an invitation announcement that I designed recently. I was asked to use purple, work with the picture and to add some kind of torn paper look. This is what I came up.

What's Happening With Me

Adobe Bridge

My new found love on my Mac. This was a hidden treasure that I didn't even realize I had. On my computer is Creative Suite 4 which Bridge comes with CS2, CS3, and CS4 so I had it this entire time without realizing it and was thrilled to learn about the program. I am taking a Digital Imaging class now and we jumped right into this program to help manage and organize our photos. This is great for photographers, and designers who may have a ton of photos that need organized, watermarked, copyrighted and more.

With Adobe Bridge you can view large amounts of images, rate the images from 1 to 5, view EXIP metadata, apply ITPC metadata, filter images, batch rename the entire set of images with a click of a mouse, and open files in Adobe Camera Raw or Photoshop, create galleries or slideshows in Flash or HTML. This software is such a time saver! I look forward to working more in Bridge.

Website Mockup & Floor Plans for Coffee Shop

For part of the Coffee & Cookies Branding, I was to design a mockup website for the company. This took elements that I previously had designed and put them together. The colors, my picture of the coffee, beans & cookies, and the logo design. I really like how all this came together. I didn't post my layout plans that I sketched out for the coffee shop, but the sign and menu inside the restaraunt is also on the wall with a chain so I copied that into the layout of the design for this webpage.
