    uniE621 Solar Eclipse 2024 Poster
    My friend is on the board of the Northwest Arkansas Space & Science Center. The organization is having a viewing party for the 2024 total eclipse and my friend asked me to design a poster to be sold at the event. The zero in 2024 represents the eclipse and the design is inspired by retro-futuristic posters from the 1950s. #graphicdesigner #poster #solareclipse2024

    uniE621 Our Strange Skies Podcast Cover Art
    Our Strange Skies is a podcast about ufology hosted by Rob Kristoffersen. Rob wanted new album art for his podcast & wanted an illustration of himself running from an alien in the style of the cover art for the magazine Flying Saucer Review. I sketched some possible scenes in the same illustration style & this is the one he picked. I drew the initials OSS to match the typography of the magazine’s masthead & used blue like the color of the sky. #graphicdesigner #podcast #coverart
    uniE621 Jennifer Bate CD Packaging
    Some of my favorite projects to work on are those in which I get to collaborate with other creative individuals. Jennifer Bate is a professional singer whose debut album Must Be Love is a collection of musical theater classics. For the album’s cover & disc visuals, Jennifer wanted a very chic, minimalist design that would complement the stunning photography she provided. #graphicdesigner #packaging #cd
    uniE621 Amnesty International Ad Campaign
    I took an advertising design class in college & I worked on this project with an advertising major. We were asked to create a three spread ad campaign for an organization, product, or business. My partner & I both wanted to do ads for a non-profit organization. We were both passionate about the work of Amnesty International and chose to do a campaign for them. At the time Amnesty International was campaigning to have Guantanamo Bay shut down. My partner was a very talented copywriter & together we came up with the idea of featuring detainee profiles in a way that highlighted their dehumanizing experiences while in the facility. My project partner wrote the ad copy based on real detainee experiences. I found stock photography of Middle Eastern men and used Photoshop to turn the color photos into high contrast black and white images. I closely cropped the photos to give the sense the person is confined to the page. My choice of typography for the headline is a gritty, stencil typeface that evokes a sense of impersonality, while the blood red background is alarming & difficult to ignore. #graphicdesigner #advertising
    uniE621 Doctor Who Screen Print Poster
    I graduated from Brigham Young University & in 2014 I was invited to participate in an exhibit of alumni artwork. I was into screen printing & Doctor Who at the time & I designed & printed this hand drawn poster especially for the art exhibit. #graphicdesigner #poster #screenprinting
    uniE621 Hear Him Book Cover
    I met Lisa Halverson through my volunteer work with Mormon Women for Ethical Government (MWEG). When she & her husband Taylor decided to publish a new book, they asked me to design the cover. They had already picked a typeface for the main title of the book, so I designed the visuals to work with it. The bright yellow on the dark background represents enlightenment & the sun and its rays are historically common symbols of divinity. #bookcover #graphicdesigner
    uniE621 Missionary Book Cover
    When Robert Y. Cornilles approached me about designing a cover for his new book about Mormon missionary work, he wanted the cover to have a professional feel & to be a reference to the parable of the wheat & the tares, as told by Jesus in the New Testament. I chose a conservative serif font, ModernoFB, for all of the cover text. I found a stock photo of wheat on Unsplash and worked with it in Photoshop to wash out the blue sky & create enough white space & contrast for the title of the book. #bookcover #graphicdesigner
    uniE621 Lured Poster
    My cousin asked me to design a poster featuring one of her favorite quotes. She loves to travel & wanted it to look like a vintage travel poster. I found stock photos on Unsplash & combined them to create a monochromatice scene of a plane flying over the desert. #graphicdesigner #poster
