Wayward Wife Poster

Monday, December 1st, 2008

A few months ago, I was invited to participate in a group show at Sequential Art Gallery. The pitch was to recreate a classic pulp fiction book cover as a poster-sized piece of art. After doing some digging, I found a 60s era book with the intriguing title The Wayward Wife and this is my interpretation!

Nubbytwiglet.com Corporate Identity

Sunday, November 16th, 2008

Over the last few days, I’ve been printing and assembling my identity. Digital renderings only convey so much, so I’m posting photos of the printed outcome that’s based on this post.

Shown: Double-sided business card, cover sheet, mailing label, form letter, invoice. (I don’t have an immediate need for a CD, so I’ve left it out […]

The Week in Pictures: 11.7.08

Friday, November 7th, 2008

I’ve had a red nameplate necklace for quite some time, but the white is my new favorite. Get yours here!

Mr. Mozart has been hangin’ out on my bookshelf. He’s super old school and made of painted plaster!

I’ve been working on a big, limited edition screen printed poster…and this is the text! Haha! Okay, so it’s going to […]

Nubbytwiglet.com 2008 Branding & Identity

Monday, October 20th, 2008

Over the last few weeks, I’ve been tightening up my company’s identity. Usually, when you get busy with a job and freelance clients on the side, the first work to get tossed to the side is your own. I decided that it was time that all of my correspondence materials matched and since I already […]

I can’t believe that I forgot to mention this, but Gala Darling interviewed me awhile back and the results can be seen in her article I Want To Be…A Graphic Designer!
OK, I’m off now to finish getting ready for my art show!

Lipstick Postcards

Monday, September 15th, 2008

A few weeks back, Overnight Prints had a free postcard offer running, so I made these 4 x 6 inch postcards with a matte finish and I’m really happy with the quality!

Designers of Distinction #1: Michael Engelmann

Wednesday, August 20th, 2008

In the 1950s, graphic designer Michael Engelmann cemented his reputation as highly regarded poster designer with his use of simple images and sans serif typefaces. He presented his vision in a straightforward manner that never eclipsed the advertised product. His work was always crisp and even today, remains timeless.

Kiss & Tell Poster

Tuesday, August 5th, 2008

A few weeks ago, when I heard that Nemo was hosting an art show called Stapled & Torn, I knew I wanted to make a poster. The one rule regarding entries was that they had to advertise something (no art prints allowed). Instead of promoting a band, I decided to focus on my friend Seze’s […]

The Week in Pictures: 8/1/08

Friday, August 1st, 2008

This week has been less than glamorous. I’ve sat at my desk(s) for more hours than I care to admit and in the meantime, I’ve dined on two cheese pizzas. You feel me?

A few glimmers of creativity did arise. I just finished my second attempt at a screen printed poster! It’s a limited edition print for […]

Logo Design: Daedalus Howell

Monday, July 28th, 2008

A few months ago, I was contacted by Daedalus Howell, a man of many talents who seamlessly balances careers in writing, radio and producing / directing / acting in films. He was in need of a logo that summed up these various forays yet also managed to symbolize his name (which could be complicated to […]

Nemo Design Employee t-Shirts

Friday, July 18th, 2008

Lately, I haven’t had a chance to share much of my design work since it’s been mostly freelance for my clients and work for Nemo (and their clients). But this week, I got a really fun assignment. One of my tasks was to come up with a t-shirt design for the Nemo employees that could […]

Ask Nubby #8: Graphic Design & Business Resources

Tuesday, July 8th, 2008

I’ve recently discovered, much to my dismay, that the degree program I’ve been taking from my local community college isn’t covering areas of graphic and web design I know are critical to being a viable businessperson in this industry. Upon further investigation, I’ve found some other community colleges that offer the classes/programs I need, but […]

Planning and Assembling a Print Portfolio

Sunday, May 25th, 2008

Over the last few weeks, I have spent nearly every free moment sweating the details of my print portfolio. Besides deciding on a format and size, I had to develop a general format for the pages and repeatedly revise the selection of pieces to include.
While designing a print portfolio is a requirement for me to graduate, […]

New Hangtags: Made With Love

Thursday, May 15th, 2008

My new double-sided hangtags just showed up (they’ll be hole-punched and attached to my new merch). Only made 100 of ‘em! As always, I ordered from Overnight Prints and besides being cheap and high quality, they’re super fast.
