DESIGN AND PRODUCTION WORK

This project was done for Power Printing and is a hotel key card holder. Over three dozen photos were blended in Photoshop for the final image. It was then laid out and typeset in InDesign. It has two folds, one vertically down the center, and one horizontally where the flap meets the cover.

To the right is the outside front cover for Mesa College. The challenge on this piece was that the customer wanted to use both pictures. Unfortunately they did not have high resolution files of both of them. I gave them each paint-like filter treatments to make them appear equal.

This was the holiday card done for the Educational Cultural Complex. They had at first requested concepts using red poinsettias. When the customer saw the comps they decided that they looked too Christmassy and requested something more nondenominational. I came up with the peace dove, which they loved.

This is the center spread for a commemorative book made for the people that had attended the event. It was recreated from a newspaper article. All of the photos were scanned from newsprint and de-screened. Then the contrast and color were adjusted and specks and creases from the newsprint removed. The background was created with a custom gradient to match the original. They were then imported into QuarkXPress to compose and typeset.

The three images above are book covers. The customer had already chosen her color palette as well as the decorative font she wished to use for the titles. She was very particular about the exact shade of red, green and yellow that were used. All three covers had to look related but different.

The card above was made for a recreation of a famous ceramic tiki mug, and the one below done as a tribute to a famous restaurant. The image to the right is the home page of the website I created for the same artist. clayjams.com

The card above is a postcard for an alternative energy startup company.
