Denver Athletics Thank You Card

 

It has been a while since I have updated the old blog, so I figured it was about time to do so. Above are a few images of a thank you card I had the pleasure of creating for the University of Denver Athletics Department a couple months back. It was great to work with the school for the first time on this little project and I think the final product came out looking really sharp.

They were wanting to highlight the terrain of the region as well as the iconic tower of the Ritchie Center, as it is one of, if not the most recognized building on their campus. I created a unique blend by stylizing the tower while doing a little photo tweaking to keep the mountains in the background looking much more realistic. Overall it was fun project with a great result. I hope to work with them again in the future.

Southern Miss Website Graphic

This past Saturday the Southern Miss men's basketball team played its biggest game of the season (coming out on top!) and there were plenty of graphics created to make sure every fan knew the game was happening. As you can see from above, we covered just about all marketing bases from print to video to web. It was definitely a challenge to create something that both fit the style we had been using on our graphics throughout the season and yet stand out a little bit because of this game's importance. All the while, I had to make sure the design worked across the wide variety of size requirements.

In the end, I think it all turned out great, and it definitely helped that the team won to cap everything off!

Southern Miss 2014 Baseball Poster

It has been a while since I have posted on the old blog here. I think I'll blame it on all the snow I'm not used to getting now that I live in New Hampshire.

Anyway, I recently wrapped a bunch of items for Southern Miss' upcoming baseball and softball seasons. I wanted to highlight the baseball poster here as it is probably my favorite piece from all of that. I had actually never done a calendar layout on a poster before so that was fun to incorporate for the first time.

From Where I've Been to Where I Am: A New Year in a New State

I ended 2013 with quite a major shift in my life, moving from Knoxville, TN to Concord, NH. Seeing as this is such a large change in terms of area of the country, weather, language, and well, just about everything, I thought I'd do a little infographic to compare where I've been to where I am. You can see the results above.

Here's to a Happy New Year to all!

Memphis Tigers Bowl Tie-Ins Infographic

It looks like I'm sneaking in one last blog post before the new year. I figure it is a good one to get in now while the bowl season is on everyone's minds.

This is a piece I did for the University of Memphis football team detailing all the bowl tie-ins they have being in the American Athletic Conference. Who knew there is going to be a bowl in the Bahamas soon!? Anyway, I went they way of the infographic again to help showcase both all the places the players have the chance to visit as well as the wealth of opportunity they have by coming to the Tigers. I think it turned out very well and is a quick, concise read that gets the information across that they wanted.

Here's wishing everyone out their a Happy New Year and I will see you again in 2014!

Memphis Tigers Name Tag

It has been a while since I've posted here on the blog. Currently times are a little crazy as I try and pack and get ready to move to New Hampshire for a new full-time position. However, I continue to do my freelance work in between bouts of taping up cardboard boxes and wrapping things in bubblewrap.

Above is a name tag I recently finished for the University of Memphis football team. It is a background piece for them to use when they are showing recruits around the campus. They will be putting a name label in the middle area towards the player's number. I really love this shot of #44 because of his intensity, as I believe it reflects the kind of enthusiasm the team wants from its players.

Anyway, if you don't see another post from me until after the 1st of the year, it is probably because I am in transit/unloading my family's things in our new place. If so, have a wonderful holiday season and Happy New Year!

UT-Chattanooga 2013-14 Wrestling Media Guide Covers

Back Cover

A couple weeks ago I wrapped up another project for UT-Chattanooga athletics, this time for their wrestling team. I had the pleasure of creating the covers for their 2013-14 media guide for this season. The theme I had run throughout each of them was the metallic title bar, that I now see kind of resembles a stylized boxing/wrestling championship belt. Happy accident, I guess. In my original layouts the bottom half of the front cover was blue instead of gold, but they decided to go with the gold to vary the look a little more between the front and back cover. Overall it was a neat project to work on, especially since I'd really never done anything for a wrestling team before. I was very pleased with the turnout, and hope the team does well this season!
