Here are several examples of different types of layout designs that I have done, but is not limited to my additional abilities.

2. A variety of sample logos
These are a variety of logo examples I have done over the last couple years. The
designs were done using a blend of Photoshop and Illustrator tools. They represent
customized projects from clients, a logo redesign, resort logo and my personal logo.

3. Inside Brochure Information Outside Brochure Information
This is just one of the brochures I have designed. It was done with a combination of
Illustrator and Photoshop tools. It is a mailer style brochure that was designed for a
resort of my creation. All images and fonts were chosen to give this brochure a feel
of Italy.

4. My Personalized Stationary Guitar Stationary
This stationary was designed for my own This stationary was designed for a musician friend of
personalized logo package. It consists of a selection mine. It was also created in Photoshop by blending
of images blended together in Photoshop using a different guitar image, a piano key image, and a
different blending modes and layer styles. I also flame texture faded into the background. I left the
enlarged my logo and faded it into the center for an poem that was written on this example to show
added touch. how well it unifies with the background.

5. As part of a past project, I was
asked to take a brand and create
some visual ad concepts. These
are a couple of examples I did
using ‘NIKE’ as my chosen brand.
All these designs were created in
Photoshop using a variety of
tools, blending modes and artistic
layer effects.

6. For another project, I was asked
to take a popular product and
create some synergy ads. These
are a couple of examples I did
using ‘PEPSI’. The base of these
designs were created in
Photoshop by blending selected
images together using layer
blending modes. Then I inserted
the proper text style and placed it
fittingly within the image.

7. These are full front to back book cover designs. Both covers were created entirely in Photoshop using a
variety of tools. Images and fonts were creatively selected to represent each story; while the idea for these
series covers comes from horror writer Richard Matheson. Backgrounds were built by using blend modes
to fuse images together. Other tools that were used were eraser tool, lens flare effect and effects from the
styles window. The black silhouette was created using the paths technique in which I outlined the woman
using the pen tool and filled the selection with black. I then blended it into the book cover background. For
the ‘Angels Eyes’ cover I also brought in some paint brush effects from Illustrator. I used the pre-created
styles window to bring them out in the design. Both covers are meant to be similar in design yet unique
enough to represent their own individual story.

8. The ‘Men of Horror’ logo was created using a the rectangle
tool in Illustrator with an added paint brush pattern. It was
then brought into Photoshop as a smart object. The drip style
font and rectangle were warped slightly and grouped together.
The small font was also incorporated into it for definition.
For these book covers I was only required to design the front cover and the spine. These covers were created
using Adobe Illustrator. Since this is a book series of horror writers, the design were meant to be similar in nature.
The font, logo, author signature and photo were blended into the background. A drop shadow effect was added
to each photo to make it stand out. For each author a specifically selected photo was chose from one of their
past books and faintly faded into the background by lowering the opacity. Under each authors photo I also added
a quote that each man had given in past interviews. Along side each author is a faint description of who the
author is and their writing style. Each book cover was meant to be similar in design but represent each author
distinctively.

9. This poster was created in Photoshop by beginning with a series of images and
blending modes to create the background. The Borders around each picture and the
poster frame were created in Illustrator using different paint brush styles. They were
then brought in Photoshop as smart objects. The fonts were distorted and shaped to
give affect and add character to the poster.

10. This poster was designed in Photoshop, beginning with the background created by
blending a photo with a textured background. I used a arrangement of different images I
felt best represented the Italian feel. I used a variety of blending modes and font
transformation to give it a pleasing appearance. The poster frame and splash design
behind the bottles were brush designs brought in from Illustrator and merged with the
design using blend modes.

11. This is a personalized greeting card I designed specifically for a close friend’s birthday. Since we have similar
style, I knew I could get away with created the dark green theme that he would enjoy. Since he is a musician, I
used images and photos that best represented him. This card was completely created using Photoshop tools.
Each background was built up by using a variety of images and photos. I used blending modes that accurately
unified images and created different textures. I carefully chose the fonts, warp their appearance and then added
different text styles.

12. This is a simple postcard made using both Photoshop and Illustrator programs. For the front of the
postcard I used Photoshop blending modes to combine 3 images for the background. I added the “the
Rave Eagles Club” image to represent where the show had taken place and using a carefully chosen font I
added the name of the musician and the date the show took place. I slightly warped the “Sully Erna” to
give the name more character. The frame was made by using the Illustrator paint brush tools. The back of
the postcard was laid out in Illustrator and the images brought in and placed as necessary. The post office
stamp was designed using Illustrator ellipse tool, the pencil tool, a specifically chosen paint brush style and
font.

13. To begin my brand I designed a simple using Adobe Illustrator and the
background in Photoshop. I wanted to the logo to be simple yet stylish. I then
incorporated this logo into all my advertisements and promotional pieces. Each
piece was designed in Photoshop using a variety of techniques. I used different
blending modes, the eraser tool and transformed images by skew and
perspective. Splash and paint effects were made by using different paint brush
styles from Illustrator and bringing them into Photoshop as smart objects. Then I
blended them as needed with the rest of the designs.

14. Tori Amos @ Riverside Theatre
This poster series was created using
Photoshop. For each poster I brought in a
variety of images combined them using
blending modes and used the eraser tool for
more precise merging. For each poster I
used carefully selected fonts. I changed the
font colors and orientation as necessary for
more impact.
