Confidential Copiers, Inc.

Trade Show Banner 8' x 2.5'

PROBLEM: CCI wanted to create

a new banner for their trade show

this year. They wanted to have a

more cutting-edge look without

loosing the family feeling they had

established in past years.

SOLUTION: Create a banner that

has dynamic use of typography as

well as incorporate photos of CCI s

staff and headquarters. Also use

text from previous years with

updated information about software

and industry standards.

MY CONTRIBUTION: I photographed

all images used in this banner during

my photo shoot at CCI headquarters.

The use of the typography lends

the cutting edge look. Additionally

text format creates shape to the

banner allowing for easy reading.

The photos I chose were to give the

"family feeling" they had wanted to

preserve.

NASA

Junior Camp Poster

PROBLEM: NASA wanted to

create a pamphlet to entice youth

and young adults to the Junior

Space Camp. This was to be

the cover for a pamphlet sent out

to previous NASA Junior Space

Camp attendies and those who

had expressed an interest.

SOLUTION: Create a pamphlet

that was informative as well as

aesthetic. Using the Earth, as

seen from space, gives the pamphlet

a cosmic feel, as well a creates

interest to the information

contained.

MY CONTRIBUTION: The design

was intended to bring readers

interest to a peak with the cover

alone. The use of the lens flare

behind the Earth graphic gives

depth and suggests a sun rise.

The use of negative space is

important, as it leaves the cover

looking clean, even sterile. The

typography then becomes very

dramatic and eye catching.

Vietnam Memorial Poster

Gift to war verteran

PROBLEM: A Vietnam vet wanted to

create a very special gift from a photo

he had of himself in Vietnam on one of

his tours.

SOLTUION: Find a tactful and meaningful

way to use the picture, first to restore it, then

turn it into a piece that could be framed.

MY CONTRIBUTION: I restored the photo

using photoshop. I then took the first frame

and changed it to B&W, then highlight only the

specific areas with color. The second frame

is full restoration. The third was a combination

of filters in photoshop to give the distorted

colorations. I put the three in line like this to

communicate a feeling for each frame. It is

hard to communicate the feelings soliders

experience in war, however, I was pleased

with this piece. I didn't need any words to

explain the emotions, the colors and images

speak for themselves.

Bitter Ass Beer

Label

PROBLEM: Bitter Ass Beer needs

a label for this new kind of beer. Due to

the fact it has a funny name, the label

must communicate that, and that it was

intentional.

SOLUTION: Take the name and apply it

literally to the extreme. The label graphics

will match the name in context to the humor

implied.

MY CONTRIBUTION: I took a photograph of

a prehistoric animal sculpture and edited it

using photoshop. I added ears and the

accentuated tongue to make this animal look

imaginary yet realistic, and well...like a bitter ass.

Denver Museum of Nature

and Science (DMNS)

Tri-fold Pamphlet

PROBLEM: DMNS wanted to entice

current museum memebers to come

and see new exhibits, as well as to

create an interest for new members to

the museum.

SOLUTION: Create a tri-fold pamphlet

that informs of new exhibits, membership

benefits and other activities. This pamphlet

can be used as a mailer or it can be handed

out at the museum entrance.

MY CONTRIBUTION: I took all the photos

used for this project at DMNS. I wanted to

create a sleek and professional piece that

would encourage attendance as well as give

DMNS a posh and inviting look. The use of

color is very important in this piece as it is

used for contrast in both images and

typography.

Colorado Women's Chamber

of Commerce (CWCC)

Summer '04 Festival Poster

PROMBLEM: CWCC wanted to create

a poster that would invite the general

public to participate in the summer

fesitval. The objective is to create

public awareness, thus promoting

becoming a member of CWCC.

SOLUTION: Design a poster that

would be displayed in public places

ie: college campuses, civic centers

and other community focused areas.

This poster must inform people of

the vendors to participate.

MY CONTRIBUTION: I utilized the

graphic sun rays to lend the summer

feel. The color choice was used to

create warmth and induce the party

feeling. The use of the Denver sky-

line adds a great texture to the back-

drop. Since there were so many

logos to use it was imparative to

carefully place the text.

"IMAGINE"

Poster for Outdoor Colorado

PROBLEM: Outdoor Colorado

allows students to create a poster

to insert at bus stops around Denver

when the do not have current advertising.

The poster has to be a non-advertisment

that is a public service.

SOLUTION: Create a dynamic poster

that will move people, make them stop

and think, and maybe even change their

mind or become inspired.

MY CONTRIBUTION: With the war in so

many places in the world and with our

own nation in turmoil over the war that

we are at now, the poster I designed

speaks of peace for all people. It also

eludes to our presence in the Middle East.

Galleria American

Invitation

PROBLEM: Galleria American is having

a John Getty exhibition and would like to

send invitations to the local artistic

community.

SOLUTION: Use some of John Getty's work

to create the invitation. Examples of one of his

previous collections will bring people who are

already fans of his work and will entice people

who are unfamiliar with his work.

MY CONTRIBUTION: I chose a collection of

work that was exhibited more recently. I wanted

to keep it simple with typography so as not to

take away from the work itself. The opposite

side is ready for mailing lables and stamps in the

pre-approved post office format.
