Port Awesome "Squid & Crossbones"


Entirely hand-drawn in Illustrator CS3, based off of sketches done on some scratch paper, then scanned.

This is some preliminary artwork done for a blog project that is in the works. The design will eventually be used to promote the blog and be featured on anything from t-shirts to sticker.

Erin & Phil's Wedding Invitation



Designed primarily in InDesign CS2 with a little prep work in Illustrator CS3. The victorian design elements are from a royalty free clip art package, each are edited slightly for color and composition. The monogram is a free font, Wedding. The text is Trajan Pro. You're probably wondering why its all crooked, I know, I'll post an example of how it's folded later. Until then, if it helps, it basically becomes its own envelope.

I don't think that this requires an explanation.



Done primarily with hand drawing in Illustrator CS3 based on images culled from a couple Google Image searches.
