Graphic Work

Here are some graphic design deliverables I have completed.

CALLINGS

This graphic was created to showcase what God has called us to and our church to and how that impacts the world. We wanted to make that clear through the artwork. I used Adobe Illustrator to create the top graphic, and used Gotham Italic Font.

The Lower graphic was a concept I submitted as well. I used photoshop to create a man holding a torch. These were two separate photos that I blended together. I then placed a globe largely in the background and overlayed a starry night sky with lower opacity to provide an interesting aesthetic. This also provided darkness so that the touch shines even brighter. This was created on Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator

HEAT WAVE

This graphic was to be playful, with summer colors as our church was doing a summer series for their messages. I created the background in Adobe Photoshop, and the "beach sticker" in photoshop as well. I gave the sticker a curl at the corner to make it look more legitimate and added some distressing so it looks like the sun and waves have worn it out. Lastly, I added the wave asset to top of the summer aesthetic as the graphic looked bare without it.

STACK'D

For this assignment we were asked to create a logo for a "client" of our choice. I decided to recreate a logo for a local burger company in my town. My vision for it was to be playful, and attention grabbing while also not taking too much focus off of the name of the company which is "Stack'd." I created this logo and graphic on Adobe Illustrator. I made the burger myself by utilizing different shapes in Illustrator and brush tools. The font is from Adobe and is called "Shlop." It was originally intended to be used for horror themes but it went perfectly with my vision of having the word stack'd be the "cheese" on the burger. I had to extend some of the cheese that was dripping down the side using the pen tool in Illustrator as I wanted it to be more dramatic.

THE GATHERING

Here is a church’s LED Wall for a young adult gathering event outside of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I made sure to stay in brand with the ministry’s colors but added some grain and drop shadow to provide dimension. Mockup Image by kjpargeter on FreePik

REVIVAL WEEK

I received a few color and theme directions and decided t0 provide a groovy design, and a minimalist design. This event is taking place the second week in September so I was instructed to use deeper fall colors to provided warmth but not be too over the top with it. I created these designs in Adobe Photoshop.

MOTHER'S DAY

This graphic was created using Adobe Illustrator. It was a groovy take on a typical church Mother's Day Graphic. Wanted it to be more playful, fun and retro that is why I utilized those colors and the flowers.

INVITATION EXERCISE

The objective of this project was to create a 5x7in typographic image using only text, and a few colors while implementing skills of alignment and proximity.

For the invitation project, on Adobe illustrator I decided to design a wedding invitation. I was inspired by the fact that I was recently engaged and wanted to design a wedding invitation that I would want for my own wedding. I wanted it to be simple and elegant, but not to be boring. I know centering the information can be common and not as exciting, but for the wedding invitation theme, I thought it worked best. I made sure to utilize hierarchy, alignment, and repetition but also made sure to add font variety throughout so that your eye would naturally follow the progression. I made sure that the proximity between each section was equal so that it would not look awkward. Since there are a lot of words needed on an invitation, I tried to make sure that the invitation was not cluttered, but had all of the important elements present.

TYPOGRAPHIC ALIGNMENT

The objective for this assignment was to practice different typographic alignments. In this poster we were to flush the text to the right. We were only allowed to use 2 colors and we were provided with the information that the posters needed to contain. I wanted to play around with different logo placements to add a creative and aesthetic spin to a poster that could look boring to the eye. This poster was created in Adobe Indesign.

POSTER PROJECT

For this assignment we were asked to create a poster that was going to require a lot of information and should include one graphic. The information was provided for us and it was our job to find a way to cohesively organize it.

My thought was to section it off into two parts so that all of the information regarding the dates and times were on one side and the the quotes and logos were on the other. This way people don't have to hunt for the time-sensitive information as they are all together in one section. I wanted to make sure the title for each event was bold and easy to read. I wanted to make sure the poster was cohesive even though there was so much information needed. The photo on this poster was taken by myself in New York City back in 2022. I thought it would be a good fit as it was not distracting but also provided an aesthetic element to the poster.

This poster was created on Adobe inDesign.

YOUTH GROUP T-SHIRT

A youth ministry at a church I was a part of was called PowerSource. I had an idea to create a t-shirt design that used the Toy Story Pizza Planet look to give it a retro and playful feel. I created the design on Adobe Illustrator and used Photoshop for the Mockup.

HARD SAYINGS OF JESUS

I created this graphic for a sermon series that talked about some of the radical sayings that Jesus has said throughout Scripture. This series took place during the summer so I was instructed to keep the colors bright. I got the assets from Canva and changed the colors of the different letters. I then created this graphic on Adobe Photoshop all together on Photoshop

Here I created a "commercial" for a coffee shop's new mobile app. The assignment was to look at a local business and see in what ways they can advance technologically. I reviewed a local coffee shop and saw that they would greatly benefit from a mobile app. After doing some research, I then created "the app's" design using Canva, and the video using Canva's mockup features.

Below are two videos I created using Premiere Pro. Shot on iPhone.
