Washington D.C.

I was in Washington D.C. for an internship this summer, and this is a logo I designed for the Office of Management and Budget's mentorship program: They selected the top one:

Not For Sale Campaign: NomiS - "On Behalf of the Silenced"

I've been focusing a lot on videography recently and here's a video I did for NomiS a few months ago. This is a song/poem that he performs for the Not For Sale Campaign set out to end human trafficking and slavery (www.notforsalecampaign.org):

New Thin Line Samples

Here are some sample shirts of one of the new Thin Line designs. I've always had a passion to design and screen print tees, and I hope that I'll be able to resurrect this old side project of mine:

More HDR

With rain coming and going the past few days, I went out to shoot some photos of random nature and the sky. Here's one photo that I was particularly happy with:

Type Illustrations

I had an idea to do a series of illustrations using only type. I've seen this kind of work before and I think it's fun to do and also a limitless way to illustrate something. I also find it effective in getting a message (or messages) across. So I made sure to select words that the companies stood for, or in the case of the glass of wine, just words that wine connoisseurs might use.

A few things came to mind as to what I would illustrate, and I felt that I wanted to do something simple, yet unique enough to be described in many ways. So I decide to go with various beverage types/brands (I was also very thirsty at the time =).

Patterns

I'm designing a few patterns just for fun and here is one I did tonight fairly quickly:

Amani Rose Designs - LogoPackge

Here's another logo I'm working on for a small custom jewelry company called Amani Rose Designs. I tried to include a style of elegance and simplicity.

I did the initial sketches in 15 minutes or so and although I didn't use much of what I sketched, it was an important part of the process. I was able to get a few solid designs done in less than a couple of hours. I made edits and revisions the next day and this is what I came up with.
