/// Description : E-Z_Doors_Logo_2016 I just recently finished up a logo with a small and upcoming business call E-Z Doors. As a brand their main objective is to help other individuals in replacing or fixing their garage doors. In designing this logo I wanted to emphasize the importance of the two words and how they come together as a whole. I did not want the word "E-Z" to get lost next to the word "doors"; In return I placed a hair line bar between the two to make is easier to read. Secondly I designed a garage to replace the two oo's in Doors and coloring them gold. The garage is allowing others to understand what doors are they speaking of and the importance of what those doors mean to the company. I chose the color black for the letters and surrounding and leaving the doors gold. Why gold? Gold is symbolic for richness, warmth, passion, compassion, and optimism. It creates a lot of attention to the viewer and gives off the importance of those doors. As for the typography, I do not take credit for. The font is Cornerstone by Zac Freeland. Programs used:

Personal_ Logo Design_2015 I'm a huge believer of practicing, there will always be room for progression as an individual. No matter what it is, my passion drives me to always try to take it to that next level and learn as much as possible. In the past few days I've whipped together some snazzy looking logos. I want to give credit to createNprocess for putting together such awesome tutorials for me to be able to put these logos all together. Here is the link to their youtube channel! ---- > https://www.youtube.com/user/creatnprocess Programs used:

Personal_ Symbolic Portraits_2015 I thought it would be nice to re-live this project that I have done in my college days. A symbolic portrait is a way to understand the persona of the individual by the symbols that are placed on the face to replace basic features; such as the mouth, eyes, and nose. The black silhouette does help in some way to shape and quickly tune in who they are, but it doesn't give you a story or idea of who they are. Yet symbols speak loudly to any of us without it having to be being spelled out for us. You see these symbols placed on these portraits and you can gradually map out who they are or what their life can be possibly about. Symbols are more than just representations, but the pages that lead up to a interesting story. Programs used:

RHD _ Social Media E-blasts _2015 I saved the best for last, my final big project with RHD was to create an e-blast for each social account they have. Rules were , it needed a theme and incorporate the theme with that social media some way. I'm a huge game nerd and I thought why not create brain puzzle games as a theme and find a way to have the viewer interact with the piece. Yet not to the extent where it showed much effort because I wanted the viewer to understand the under lining message that following RHD on any of these social media platforms were not as difficult as even a brain puzzle game. I love them and RHD's Marketing team defiantly loved them as much as I do. Success never felt so good. Programs used:

RHD_E-Blasts_2015 These E-blast were sent out to RHD employees about some of the same events that were happening in the month. This was another alternative in reaching out to them for them to see.

RHD_Postcards_2015 RHD is known to work alongside other great companies and foundations. I was asked to design a post card front to back for an event they are having with "Common Goods". The mission was to bring simplicity to life. I gave it 3 attempts and post card 2 was the winner. I enjoy them all, I honestly was happy with any of their final decisions because I didn't believe they could go wrong with any of them. At the same time, I knew as long as they were happy, I was happy. I love being able to help others with the work of my art. Programs used:

RHD_T-Shirt Attempt_2015 This design so happen to be something I put together for as a T-shirt graphic for Values day event but it didn't make the cut. I decided to still keep this design for myself, reason being how powerful the design speaks against the tag line "together we're better, Together we're RHD". I Love how blissfully it speaks and I just knew this was worth sharing to all of you. I could see this at least being a poster or flyer. Who knows, but either way I'm giving myself a pat on the back for this. Programs used:

Personal_Portrait_2014
I honestly don't know what it is, but it is very relaxing to just sit down go through this process of building/creative these portraits wile listening to my favorite artists. I figured whats the best way into celebrating the soon to be released new album of Zedd and of course why not create a portrait. Afterwords I threw behind his album cover in the background and I have to say this piece came out very solid.

Personal_ Portraits_2014 I probably couldn't stress this enough, without music I don't believe my music would ever come to life the way it has.

In my appreciation for the love of EDM I made three portraits of the following dj's. Dj #1 Borgeous #2 Skrillex #3 Dillon Francis. I'm thinking of doing more soon! Programs used:

Holidays are in my opinion the most exciting time of the year and for me having the opportunity to design at a time like this only brings more joy to my face. ASID was more than gracious enough to give me another working project to build for them, A flier for their up coming event this winter. Composition is very powerful in the world of art to our naked eyes because it leaves us interested in wanting more. It helps intrigue and interact with our viewers. What better way to design for a holiday event then using a gift as a strong symbolic meaning? The ribbon on top, stretching across the flyer with the title of the event and along with it a tag that holds all the information about the event. As a backbone a holiday image in the background to produce more of the holiday feel. Happy Holidays (:

Edm Boutique has been keeping me busy with an astounding amount of giveaway ad's and I honestly couldn't be anymore happier. It has allowed me to explore different styles and techniques in going about these giveaway ads. This ad was quite the challenge, yet challenges only made me a better artist than I was yesterday. The give away tickets are to R.L Grime , another talented young edm artist who is playing at the famous venue of Philadelphia called "The Electric Factory". I wanted the tone of this ad to correlate with his logo and style, in this case would be dramatic and almost creepy at the same time. But his music tells a far different story that keeps you wanting more.

Edm Boutique_Ad_2014 In this following project that was given to me by Edm Boutique was to create two distinct ad's that would create an expansion and interaction with the edm community. How can that be done you ask? Well its quite simple actually, by asking the listeners and viewers what events and new music are out now. With that being said; "Submit your music" is designed to showcase the theme of the dj life, and "Submit your events" is designed to showcase the life of the edm community or listeners. Programs used:

ASID_Invitation_2014
ASID always manages to have new fun and exciting events to attend too and it only seemed right to create an invitation to an event like this. The mission was to create a simple, yet exciting invitation for an awards ceremony held at the Franklin Institute. I designed not only a front cover but a two page spread of information that includes the sponsors of the event on the left side and on the right side your general information of who, what, where, and when. Why magenta? Two reasons : 1. Magenta matches the front image and 2. Magenta is one of the many few colors that captures a lot of attention that is found in the brain. Plus magenta has a way of speaking to the naked eye and our emotions with "you don't want to miss an amazing event like this". It's alive, fun, thrilling, and most certainly an event to look forward too without it feeling overwhelming. - Simplicity is more
