2011 Tails at Twilight

I was asked to create the Tails at Twilight invitation again this year. I was pretty excited to be working with them again but this time it was a bit more difficult. Again, I've tried to maintain a 'look' for EHS with the silhouette images, but reinventing it for the third time proved to be quite a challenge. The theme was based around a quote... "make it possible". I tossed around a few ideas but in the end I leaned toward something I had recently been studying. I work a few blocks from Chinatown in San Francisco and it's hard not to be influenced by the Asian culture and art. Cherry blossoms came to mind... it seemed like a perfect texture. In searching for a color palette I looked at a number of illustrations and watercolors to get the seasonal feel I was after. The event was going to be held in October so I wanted some Fall influence but I thought muddy pastels might be a nice dark touch for October. Anyway... enough gabbing here's the final product...

Paws in the park 2011... cont.

This is a VERY belated update... but... late is better than never. I ended up doing a lot of extra work on this project that included banners, posters and t-shirts. All in all I learned A LOT and was proud of the outcome. It was a very fun project... wish I could have been there to enjoy it in person. I heard that the t-shirts were a big hit... they were printed on bright blue shirts so the green really stood out. Here's a sample of my t-shirt design...

Work... aka... busy

Crazy days! I've taken on another San Diego Humane Society project. EHS puts on an event every year called paws in the park and I was asked to create Brochures T-shirts and posters. The brochures were printed this week. I will be working on refining images for posters this weekend and t-shirts should be ready by march.

After creating the invites for last years gala event I decided to stick with the silhouette theme. It really compliments their logo and I hope to start a trend for future EHS design. Nearly all the imagery was produced from photos I took at last years event. I feel that it brings a personal touch to the project.

Here's the first part of the project... the brochure...
