The graphics for this sign were designed in Adobe Illustrator. I created a square using the shape tool, then used the option key to duplicate the square, then duplicated those two squares, then duplicated those four squares two more times to make three rows and four columns. Then I locked the grid and began using the shapes tool to design the graphics. The colors were picked to give the sign a lounge feeling. I picked a bold and simple typography and made it white with a red stroke so it would stand out.
This design was created in Adobe Illustrator using the brush tool. I didn't include it in my professional portfolio becuase I already used this mock-up for a design I like much better.
The image for this banner was first created in Photoshop. I cut a photo of a harness horse driver out, then put it on a space background. I also added a posterize adjustment layer to the harness horse driver. Then I opened the image in Adobe Illustrator and used the image trace command to select out the reds and turn them a reddish brown. I didn't include this design in my professional portfolio because I don't know who took the photo of the harness horse driver. But I can tell you the horse is Supergrit and the driver is Mark Jordan, in the mid-nineties, up at the Maple Leaf Trot in Canada.
I found this image of The Runaways on E-bay and on a streaming site, it was taken in 1975, but there is no credit given to the photographer. I edited it Photoshop by adding a posterize adjustment layer, and masking a space scene into the background. I didn't include it in my professional portfolio because I don't know who took the photo and can't credit them.
I created this image by lassoing out various black and white photographs of wild animals, then putting a rainbow gradient layer overtop, and finally using a blending mode. I put the animals on a space background and added text. I didn't include this in my professional portfolio because I think the gradients needs to come from different directions, and I need to add a date to make it look like a show poster.
I created this image in Adobe Illustrator using the shapes tool, the pathfinder tools, and the transform tools. Then I used the brush tool to create the Chinese characters. This is a sign for Chinese Lanterns. I didn't include it in my professional portfolio because the characters all slide down to the right.
