 Boys on the Bluff Info Sheet

 Congratulations to Recruits

Good Luck for Recruits

It has been getting pretty busy for me with stuff for the U of M. Here are a bunch of projects I worked on for them last week. They especially liked the Good Luck to be sent to recruits before their big games, as well as the Boys on the Bluff info sheet. It was nice to start putting that logo into action. There will be plenty more U of M stuff soon!

Boys on the Bluff Logo

Here is my latest project for the U of M. The task was to create a logo designed specifically for local recruits who decide to stay in Memphis and play for the Tigers. Coach Porter had coined the group as the "Boys on the Bluff" and so I brainstormed off of that. Of course, as I continued to sketch on the idea of "the bluff" the Hernando DeSoto bridge kept popping into my head. Therefore, it is featured in the center of the stylized football shape. By adding the tiger stripes to the bottom of the logo I was attempting to connect university to city like the idea of the group. It was a challenge to create, but I am glad that the guys at the university ended up liking it!

U of M Season Invite

Gotta love when the head coach gives your work the thumbs up...maybe it's because I included him in the invite. Or maybe he just thought it was overall awesome. Either way, here is a season invite I created for the U of M to send out to recruits. While I was doodling ideas for this one the phrase "Come feel the roar" popped into my head because of the the tiger mascot. So then I had a little fun with the font to echo the phrase. I once again had a lot of fun creating this one. I mean, it's designing for football. Does it get any better?

U of M Name Tag

It has been a couple weeks since I have posted any new work, but I recently just got a part time gig working for the University of Memphis Athletics Department. I'll be designing flyers, mailers, and other things mainly for recruiting purposes. Here is the outcome of my first project. I had to design a name tag to be used for when potential student athletes come for tours, games, etc. It was a fun little project and the guys at U of M loved the turn out. I'd have to say I am satisfied as well. I can't wait to post future projects from this season up here. I am currently working on a season invite to be sent out to potential recruits. Keep a look out!

Some fun with my favorite superhero

What do you do when your fiancee is on a two week trip out West and you are home with your crazy cat? Well, if you're me, you watch a lot of old Batman: The Animated Series episodes and decide to doodle on the most awesome superhero ever. Here is my best batman face and wall logo below that. Gotta occupy myself somehow!

Ad Design

At work we do a monthly mailer coupon and here is a taste of the first one I got to design. Stickin' with the summer theme!

Some new stuff

It has been a while since I've posted, but I thought I'd take a moment to share some work from my time in Knoxville so far. This is a business card I designed at work a few weeks ago. I am a fan of a nice glossy black. I think they turned out pretty nice.

I have also recently been working with a friend in North Carolina reworking a logo for Project Connect out there and just starting to work on another logo for the Orange County Partnership to End Homelessness. I hope to have some of that work up here soon as well.
