Going Political

Well, I ventured into the world of politics. My client Ann DeLacy, is running for the Howard County Board of Education, this year. She even named me her "Campaign Graphic Designer and Social Media Coordinator" Fancy, right? :-)

Anywho, I designed her logo, business card, website (click here to view), promo poster, yard sign and volunteer sign-up form. 

WHEW! It was a lot of work but fun at the same time. Ann is a very sweet and competent  person. I know she will win!! The designs are below:

(P.S. Ann won the primaries!  She is a great candidate for the School Board. If you live in Howard County, VOTE FOR HER IN NOVEMBER!!!!)

Black & White Typography (All with Letters)

Here, I used the letter "L"  to make the pattern on the left and the letter "e" to make the one on the right. (Click to enlarge)

For my typography class, I had to design a perfume bottle using only "M pour hommes" and "F pour femmes." I also had to make a pattern with letters. The patterns are an "m" and an "f."(Click to enlarge)

In this design, I had to illustrate the word by spelling the word. (Click to enlarge)

Holiday Card Covers( I know I'm late ..lol)

So, over the holiday, I did more than stuff my face. I did do a little more designing. Since I was in the holiday spirit, I decided to make Holiday Card Covers. Some are inspired by some of my favorite Christmas songs. I hope you like!!!!

Back with some logos....

TMDC logo

Here, I created a logo for the Thurgood Marshall Democratic Club of Howard County, MD. This is a non-profit organization that educates and empowers African American Democratic voters in Howard County about political issues within the county and nationally. Their main focus is improving voter registration numbers in Howard County among African Americans.

With all of this information, I wanted capture what the organization does without making it too obvious. I chose to create a blue check mark to represent the democratic party and their voters. I also chose to use a sans-serif typeface to make the logo simple and easy to read at all font sizes. The client also requested that I super-impose an outline of Howard County. I gave the client many different designs but this is the one that made the cut. 

Here are some other solutions that I came up with.

Ladies Love Literature logo

 

Next, I did a logo for a book club that my friend Gabriela started, Ladies Love Literature. She wanted me to do something clever with the L's and incorporate the color pink. Shout out to my LLL girls :-)

The duds are below(lol):

My Business Card (Well kinda...)

Here is my business card. Well, not really. This is how my business card looks design-wise.

My portrait with Letters

Fall 2011

For my Typography class, I had to create a portrait of myself using only characters (letters and symbols). As you can see, I used J's for my hair and @'s for my eyes and earrings. I also used parentheses for much of this project.

What other letters can you find?

Re-packaging Project: Buttons!

For this project, I had to repackage a product that already exists but market it for another use. I repackaged buttons to be used as earring holders. (I can't tell you how many times I lose my earrings). My concept was to use a tin package for the buttons. For the theme of the piece, I was going for a 1950's feel.
