Realistic Illustration This guitar illustration is made completely out of vector graphics, which means they can be scaled from small format to large format without losing any quality or detail. The details of the guitar are built using hundreds of shapes and gradients to make them look realistic. The guitar illustration has been included in a poster format which includes a brief historical write up about the guitar.

Right To Educate Poster This is a personal project about “The Right to Education�. When creating this project I felt that portraying a childlike image throughout the posters would aid the deliver y of the main concept to the viewer. The final outcome of the posters portrayed the ideas ver y well though the use of messy miss spelled words to clearly represent the project title the right to education.

EMA Branding This project was for, EMA, a civil engineering company located in Vernon, BC. The task was to develop the company logo for stationar y and marketing purposes. The logo was created with using the concept of roads and pipes which is a significant part of the scope of the work that the company develops.

Chimeric Packaging This was a packaging design for Chimeric video game a mock up project. The modest design was to make the product stand out amongst the competitors on the product shelf. The boldness of the black, the lack of graphics, the phrasing “Futuristic Tale” and “Limited Edition” make the consumer want to pick up the product to determine what is in the box.
