This project was designed as a visual aide to accompany educational reading material for elementary age and ESL students. I created ten original layouts that were fun for children on everything from snowboards to sugar. Eventually, we changed the original designs (left hand column) for more consistency. The finals designs can be seen in the right hand column. This was a co-designed project between myself and Adsoka.

Applications: Adobe Illustrator CS3 with some Photoshop retouching

Aoife's Kiss Cover Art Illustration




Various Book cover art illustrations. For the first one I was told only that it was a book of poetry named "Cyborg Chimera." The second is for a science fiction novel about a human assassin in deep space. Aoife's Kiss is a magazine of speculative fiction. For Aoife's Kiss I created the illustration only.

This CD was the project that made me decide to go back to school for Graphic Design. It's pre-college, so it's not perfect, but I'm still proud of it. The group wanted to parody as several classic visual icons:

Dogs Playing Poker
St. Pauli Girl barmaids
The Three Fates
Angel on the right, Devil on the left (or "Sinister") side.
And more! Can you find them all?

I like to call the image on the back The Creation of Beer.
