A Keen Eye Home Inspection

May 4, 2019

I built this site at the beginning of the year for a local home inspector. It’s a new business that already had a logo, business cards and flyers so I built out the brand a little more with the website, social media, and a photo shoot with the owner inspecting my house.

Bilotti's Pizza Garden Ad Campaign

May 12, 2015

This is a campaign that I worked on with the GIADC Creative Campaign team. The creative was developed by me and Hayley Peterson and led by Brian Tallman. I designed the digital/animated ads and Hayley designed the print ads. I also designed the logo because the client didn't have a consistent one. I based it off the look of their building and used neon letters because the locals know them by their neon sign.

Jethro's BBQ ad campaign

This ad campaign was originally proposed for Jethro's BBQ N' BACON BACON's grand opening but that was delayed and we ended up reusing the art for an April Fool's joke. It was created with the GIADC Creative Campaign team by me, Hayley Anderson and led by Brian Tallman. I designed the animated digital ads in Adobe Flash and animated HTML5 ads in Adobe Edge.

Tipsy Tees

December 13, 2012

This year my biggest project was Tipsy Tees. Amy Chapin stumbled across my site last year and came to me with her business idea. First off, I made a logo. It took awhile to get the right font. We went through a lot of different versions and eventually came to this.

She had loads of shirt ideas, so I started drawing. We got to about 30 shirts and then it was time to order the transfers and shirts. She did all the printing in her home and built up her inventory a little.

Meanwhile, I started to design the website. She chose Big Cartel as the store management system and I started with the theme she chose. It took a couple months to get everything figured out, but we got there.

Here is one of my favorite illustrations from the holiday site update.

I hope you enjoyed the breakdown. Please go check out the site to see all of our shirt designs.

Kings of BBQ
