This week I worked on a senior announcement for a local Central High School senior, Michael Severson. I received 4 photos to play around with. I gave them 4 layouts and they chose the three I have included. I'm excited to see them, it's always fun to see them actually printed!

Oscar Zero Logo

Mary from Boutiques on Burrel in Cooperstown, ND contacted me about designing some logo ideas for a new tourist attraction in the Cooperstown area called Oscar Zero. It is an old missile site that people can walk through and tour. As a business woman in the area, Mary wants to sell souvenirs in honor of the site at her local store. She wasnt quite sure what she wanted, so I played around with missiles and colors and I have included the logo she chose. We are now working on a second version with "Cooperstown, ND" added. Stay tuned...

Smiley Playground Plaque

Again in March I had the privilege to work with Katie Osborn from Urban Development and the Northside Neighborhood committee on developing another fun plaque that will be placed at a playground. It will be named in honor of our beloved Smiley water tower that was taken down this past year so it's very much in remembrance of him. In the background, I included an illustrative drawing (watermark) of kids playing on playground equipment and added Smiley in like he's watching over the playground and the kids. We also added a few different poses of Smiley showing off his big grin. I cant wait until it is put up this Spring. I will add a picture of the actual thing soon!

Nelson Business Forms Business Cards

Back in March I worked with Randy and Brad from Nelson Business Forms to come up with a business card for their business. The goal was to try and showcase their full color printing services. They wanted some sort of an image in the background to showcase that. I played around with CMYK paint daubs to look like they were falling onto the card but it just didn't have quite the look they were wanting. We ended up with a very subtle textured look that is interesting and inviting yet not too distracting.
