rev-up the soul. This mantra of mine is conveyed mainly by my logo, which is

BRANDING + BEYOND

there lies an undeniable fact: I love visuals that move, especially visuals that an abstraction of several themed elements: a leaf camera shutter, an eye, and a red-hot jet-engine turbofan that’s spinning, about to take flight. All of these abstractions are fashioned in a starburst, concentric twist, and if you look closely also, you’ll notice the letter “R” hypnotically arranged within there. It’s this red-hot passion for those “rev-up-the-soul” kind of visuals that drive me to share and collaborate with my fellow visual artists and clients.

Branding Collateral various sizes Revelle StudioWorks

The success of branding graphics involves checks and balances throughout the design process. Ideally, I like to think that the sucess of a brand’s mark starts as a great “bare bones”, simple, black-and-white form. From there, the exploration and development of color pallettes, and even as far as web graphix logos, should simply enhance the

strength of the orignal, simple mark. Above all, during each stage of the design process, it’s paramount to keep in mind the client’s goals and especially the intended responses of the target audience. Adobe Illustrator CS4

Branding Identity various sizes Miyagi Bar and Sushi is a fictitious Japanese steakhouse, sushi restaurant, and cocktail bar, serving a spectrum of colorful customers from flip-flop and boardshorts regulars, to business casuals on their lunch break, all the way to high-end sophisticates celebrating well into the night at the fully-stocked bar and dance floor. The mark presented here is very much inspired by the traditional Japanese calligraphy known as “shodo”, where talented masters channel pure emotion to gracefully brushstroke sumi ink onto rice paper. By doing so, they create these lively, soulful characters known as “kanji”. This kanji element is important in the mark as it creates an isomorphic correspondence that attempts to clue the viewer in that, “Hey, this is an authentic Japanese establishment”. The characteristic “M” here has been stylized not only to resemble kanji, but more importantly to resemble waves. Waves are a physical manifestation of energy. Waves can be oceanic, sound, light, vibes between people, or heat waves rising from cooked food, and it comes in various intensities. I wanted to utilize a rhythmic appeal to the logo by incorporating a least these two waves crests. The restaurant interior is zen-like with organic and subtle, traditional Japanese elements, in harmony with sleek and modern accents. This relationship is vital as it serves to fuel the restaurant’s unique, memorable, and dynamic interplay between a calm, yet invigorating atmosphere. So whatever wave you’re riding, Miyagi Bar and Sushi is a place for you, a place for mi, it is THE place to be. Logo mark shown, created in Adobe Illustrator CS4

Dear Donn

Letterhead Suite Standard Sizes This letterhead suite contains business cards, stylized letterhead, and accompanying envelope. These pieces complement the feeling and aesthetics of what Miyagi is all about. It is a zen-like environment, balancing modern with traditional. Particular attention was paid to establish “structure” to help develop a branding identity for Miyagi. This structure is intended to be carried to future visual collateral such as menus or magazine ads so as to reinforce the appeal and quality that is Miyagi.

In addition, organic qualities are interjected into the piece by utilizing the abstract long streaks of kanji-markings. These markings draw the eyes upward which adds to the feeling of being “lifted up”, and also gives and artisan, precise quality, similar to the type of culinary expertise one could expect from Miyagi’s. Relatedly, the textured paper banner along the bottom adds to a feeling of comfort, as well as appealing to the tactile senses.

The main structure elements here include: a harmonious balance between the mark, textured “rice paper” banner, the red/green lighting, and kanji ink mark abstractions. I sought to have each element work well with each other, and not have one element really dominate.

The pieces were primarily composed so that the eye is caught by the logo, travels down, and swiftly towards the right. This introduces movement in each piece, giving the viewer a smooth, swooping feeling. Each piece created in Adobe Illustrator CS4, then composed within Adobe Illustrator InDesign CS4.

Letterhead Suite Standard Sizes This letterhead suite contains business cards, stylized letterhead, and accompanying envelope. It aims to promote and perpetuate the brand. These pieces complement the feeling and aesthetics of what Revelle StudioWorks is all about: red-hot moving visuals with organic cues. The sleek, yet “machine-like” typeface lends itself to it’s own dominant structure. This machine-like, almost sports-car sort of appeal is balanced by the organic cues of the whispy smoke-like abstractions in the background. Furthermore the addition of the white lightrays also serve as reinforcing roles as it aims to use the postitve associations with light, as well as subtley cueing the viewer to the graphic design nature of Revelle StudioWorks.

This was an urgent client request, required to be produced under three hours. This ad was created entirely in Adobe InDesign CS4 which offers a library that allowed me to pull and compose various Miyagi elements that I had already created from my previous projects. The 3-hour deadline was met well in advance because of this library feature. Conscientious steps were made to involve enough elements to capture the viewer’s attention quickly as well as convey to the viewer what the Miyagi is all about. People going through the yellow pages browse quickly and it is important to give the viewer enough clear information so that Miyagi is not passed upon. Because of the time and design constraints, I relied on tinting the black to get some visual weight and depth of the elements. Also, I used type to tell the ad viewer quickly what Miyagi was all about: Sushi, Lobster, etc. The piece tends to flow downward with the gradation of the logo and vertical kanji strokes, as it leads the viewer to Miyagi’s important contact info—phone number and website.

Designed under a time constraint, this mailer was directed to be a “Valentine’s Day mailer/invite that perpetuated the restaurant brand”. Additional body copy text that was supplied upfront, was also to be incorporated. Because of the time, I decided to adapt an existing ad that I previously created. I also made sure the mailer met all requirements of USPS. The branding of Miyagi is inherently relaxed, zen, and even romantic. So not much was needed to execute this project. However, to buildon “Valentine’s” I decided to explore and develop an appropriate graphical cue, so I fashioned the Miyagi logo into an abstraction of a rose. Adobe Illustrator CS4

and crafted by Iron Chef Miyagi himself. The Valentine’s Day 4-course menu ($54.95/person) will surely get your heart racing as the succulent Japanese cuisine, coupled with select fine spirits, and the romantic, zenlike atmosphere with your special partner will ignite your Valentine’s Day that surely will be heavenly. That is my promise to you, on your special day. Please come in, and let us serve you. Kampai, Open Daily 11:00AM - 4:00AM

Mailers 4” x 8”, Double-sided Perpetuating the Revelle StudioWorks brand here, while aiming to QUICKLY inform the viewer of the services that Revelle StudioWorks provides (all before this mailer meets an inevitable trashcan fate). The use of bold key phrases, bullet points, and visual cues aim to bait the viewer into exploring and interacting with the mailer, especially if the viewer is a potential client who has already had these key phrases and images already running through their head. The colors and photomosaics primarily serve to add interest so that a wide range of viewers are drawn to explore and read the finer details of Revelle StudioWorks, which are noted on the flyer. Layout and colors were design constraints, considering the somewhat restrictive USPS mailing requirements. Photo mosaics composed in Adobe Photoshop CS4 Mailer composed in Adobe InDesign CS4

Brochure

8.5” x 8.5”, 150 lb. matte photo-paper, “Record-Sleeve” style

A highly conceptual approach to a brochure which heavily utilizes the Revelle StudioWorks logo. The apparent front and back covers shown, “sandwhiches” a rotating photo-paper disc that spins about the center of the logo. It spins in place, similar to as how a record would spin in it’s sleeve.

Front

Back

The front cover contains die-cut, triangular wedges cut at the top and bottom negative spaces of the logo. The ideas is to spin the photo disc 1/4 turn via tabs on each side of the “brochure”, so that with each 1/4 turn, “Photography” and supporting pictures would appear within the die cuts. The next turn would be, “Web Design”, with accompanying supporting pictures. Etc. The concept is to present Revelle StudioWorks in a different manner than a regular brochure, and have the experiencer go-online to view the real potential of Revelle StudioWorks. Adobe Photoshop CS4

Signage

12.1 MegaPixels

Combined self-taken photos of a restaurant which resembles Miyagi’s identity and merged my previously created vector Miyagi graphics with said photos. The dominant red color was existent in this restaurant. However, I had to paint-into the photos, Miyagi’s teal accent color using Adobe Photoshop. Selective dodging and burning was performed on the photos as well to enhance it. In addition, the red in the photos were color adjusted to match Miyagi’s signature-red color. Performing these various adjustments allowed me to bring-out Miyagi’s late-night mood and atmosphere; an atmosphere that’s romantic, mysterious, but alltogether alluring.

11” x 17” Custom 2-Double Truck Spreads

Further enhancing the branding and identity of the Miyagi restaurant, this menu was created to fit hand-inhand with the complementary Miyagi graphic collateral. New to the structure are the “bokeh” lights, which sells Miyagi as a mysterious, alluring, but also festive quality, as the way the bokeh is arranged in a random harmonious fashion. The client requested that when opening-up the menu, the patron is greeted by a wide-expansive, almost panoramic feel from the menu. In adhering to the client’s request, a standard 4x page count for this menu would have to be reconsidered. Since the menu involved 2-2page spreads, a total of 6 pages was used for this menu (i.e. 1 front cover, 1 back cover, and 2-2 page double truck spreads.) To see a sample contents of the inside of the menu, please click forward to the next page...

11” x 17” Custom 2-Double Truck Spreads

Many opportunities were taken advantage-of to “brand” the menu. The Miyagi “M” is an obvious case that is located on the bottom right corner of the page is one example. The menu’s section headings has a subtle, distressed “Miyagi Red” stripe, which is another subtle branding cue. In addition, the iconic background with it’s gentle teal and read ligthing. Overall, there are elements and structures that are related and common to all of Miyagi’s graphic collateral, such as the letterhead suite and signage--- all these pieces combine help build on Miygi’s branding identity.

Poster

11” x 17”, 4-Color Process

Using an existing illustration that I created (i.e. the ocean, mountain, and sky portion of this illustration), directions were given to combine this existing illustration and create an event poster. The logo, language, and information were furnished up-front, prior to the start of the project. I combined all these elements to produce this poster illustration. My main objective was to create a poster that had enough visual information, so that a viewer could distinguish what the poster is for at a quick glance.

Self-Portrait Illustration 8.5” x 11”

For my self portrait I’ve created a mix of structure and sense of flow— two attributes which define my style of thinking. In addition, I wanted to give the viewer a sense of me of where I am right now in my life— I have an engineering background, but i’m looking away from it, re-drawing myself personally and career-wise; Looking towards the future to an uncertain, but exciting, creative future ahead of me.

Labels

5” x 7” front, 5” x 5” back

Client rush-job request: Design and send-to-print two wine labels under four hours. Client requested labels that were “elegant, refined, edgy, and contemporary.” Client also requested an illustrative approach, as opposed to simply incorporating just photos. Body copy text was provided by the client, as well. Given the time constraint, I decided to have the design draw inspiration from the body text messege and client request. This dictated the color palette and the main graphical elements respective of each label. Adobe Illustrator CS4 Adobe InDesign CS4

Silhouette Repourpose Utillzed alpha channel masking to obtain a silhouette graphic of myself. Utilized this graphical element to create a piece that appealed to a wide audience. I chose an “iPod” theme, similar to their colorful ad campaign depecting all walks of life enjoying the iPod, as a vehicle to appeal to a wide audience. I unified this theme by purposing it for the DAC program, hence the “iDac” type in the piece. Utilized various brushes to obtain a dynamic and textural quality for the background.

Self-Expression Collage 8.5” x 11”

Utilized five photos taken by me, to create a collage of things that represent or express me. The five things that express me are: 1) The guitar, 2) Heavy construction 3) Guitar Amps 4) Cameras and 5) Light. I like the guitar, playing and listening. I like my music heavy, (or) light, bluesy, whatever really, a whole spectrum. I’m involved with heavy construction right now in my profession, so I added a bulldozer. This also gives the piece a more clunky, heavy kind of feel which I was going for. The amp?— I love amps— big and loud. The camera, I like **correction** I LOVE photography. The bokeh represents light in an abstract sense. It’s related to photography, but it also represents being a visual artist. The visual arts is the result of composing light.

PhotoCube Collage 6” x 8”, original size Utilized the Adobe Photoshop “Perspective Tool” to apply various photos, taken by me, onto the faces of a Rubik’s cube photo. This collage originated as a concept: I wanted to to unify these various Balboa Park photos into a single package--- a Rubik’s cube. My original idea was to have one side of the Rubik’s cube be one theme, such as “Fountains”, and other sides to follow a similar theme, such as “Architecture”. Adobe Photoshop CS4

Packaging 6.75” x 3.5” x 0.75”

Combined photos of Balboa Park, taken by me, and created a series of hand-size boxes for small chocolates. The client requested a packaging concept which utilized photography of Balboa Park that worked as “a photographic essay”. My idea was to dedicate one box per each Balboa landmark, and add the clientprovided body copy text accordingly. The interaction with the box was important. I wanted the package to open up similar to a story book to caption the photos. The color pallette was chosen to aim to a wide appeal of people ( a-la Apple iPod Ad campaign). The box edges were colored purposefully so that, when all the boxes are together, they are colorful and catch the eye of the shopper in the gift shop. Adobe Illustrator CS4

Photography Various Sizes

What can I say?--- I love photography. I mainly shoot digital, but have known to drool over analog photography as well. I take at least one camera with me wherever I go. I shoot portraits, landscapes, architecture, and travel. Fine art, abstract, commercial, and off-camera strobing are all avenues that I’m also currently exploring. I love photography because it’s like graphic design, but in real life--- there’s lighting, subject composition, colors, values, depth of field, constraints, and especially raw emotion and visual impact that needs to be considered and “designed” before snapping it into frame.

Portraiture, Products, & B/W Various

I mainly enjoy shooting portraiture, lifestyle sessions, and events. On many occassions I’m always experimenting and shooting outside of my comfort zone by shooting different things under different lighting conditions. Photography has been referred to as “painting with light”. I like to say that I enjoy experperimenting all the time with different brushes, on different canvases, the only difference is: I happen to use a camera instead. www.N IXON

Action Photography Sequence 8.5” x 11”

Recon’d a location near the San Diego Airport to capture this action sequence. The challenge was to get a fast-enough shutter speed during the waning low-light, sunset hour. Having planes fly overhead is a personally fascinating event for me, for some reason. I’m glad I was able to capture in this alternate viewpoint.

Video Montages 1080p HDTV at 60fps

I’m passionate about graphic design and photography. Above all, I’ve always been a proponent of creating “visuals that move.” Lately I’ve been shooting and composing video. This feels like a very natural transition and appropriate creative avenue. Being able to explore this idea of creating visuals that move, really comes to life when I’m able to compose time, soundtracks, and various still and moving pictures to enhance the viewer’s visual and sensory experience.

About Me Hello, Hola, and Aloha! I’m Donn Russell E., the creator, heart, soul, nuts & bolts of this here Portfolio. I’m a freelance digital artist, currently favoring photography as my medium of choice. When I’m not illustrating or creating graphic design goods, I enjoy shooting events, lifestyle, and commercial sessions of fun-loving, soulful, & simply all-around interesting people and moments. I now live in sunny San Diego, California, but I’ve lived in SoCal pretty much all my life. I’ve created tons of images throughout my life. Many of which enjoy telling stories. Stories of love, some of life, art & soul and a whole lot of just good ol’ times I like creating still images that move. Photos, and even graphic design goods, that when you look at them, they move you. They live & breathe certain emotions, and rev-up the heart & soul in a profound way. With that said, I invite you to take a walk thru my life and look thru the visual goods I’ve created lately. Hopefully, they give you an impression of the types of moments that have moved me, and how I’m able to internalize these feelings and express them through my art. I’m fully aware and responsibility of my role as an artist, and I comfortably make it the utmost priority to elicit a specific and concise response from my audience. So it’s my personal mission to execute and champion this priority so that I can exceed all my design clients’ expectations. Along these grounds, I intend to move my clients emotionally, over-deliver on products aesthetically, and create images with impact visually; all to the service of my clients so that their ideas, hopes, and dreams come to life thru my talents as a visual communicator.

“I intend to move my clients, emotionally; over-deliver on products, aesthetically; and create images with impact, visually.”
