jsn4d: graphic design

I love graphic design. I love working with textures, colors, fonts, images and layout to come up with a visual solution to a client's problem. Layouts that are able to combine the personalities of so many elements into one cohesive whole fascniate me. You may not know it, but all these elements speak to a viewer on subconscious level, compelling them to look longer or to vest more interest in the content displayed.

Call me a geek. Call me nerd. Whatever. Graphic design influences and is a part of this heavily visual culture.

Below is just a sample of some of the work I have created over the years

	ProSorbents Website Update ProSorbents Using the template provided by the client, I went in and updated/modified their site to incluce 25 new product pages with JQuery accordion navigation, new photoshopped artwork and a lot of new CSS styles for tables, text and layout.

	THRIVE MEN'S CONFERENCE 2011 Logo for Men's Conference The Rock Church of Asheville The theme for 2011 ran around the idea of Man vs Mountain. My original idea was to promote it like it an old-style boxing event. As ideas started going back and forth, the church wanted to do something a bit more simple and minimalistic while still keeping to feel of the church. Click the photo to see roughs & final.

	KINGDOM BUILDERS 21x7 4/4 Trifold Brochure The Rock Church of Asheville This was the layout and theme I designed for the church's 2011 Kingdom Builders campaign. In the samples you view through, I also included a few of the rough cover designs. Click the photo to see brochure.

	GOLF TOURNAMENT BROCHURE 11x8 4/4 No Bleed, Trifold Bethany Christian Services I was more than happy to donate my talent to help this children's adoption service with an upcoming golf tournament. Click the photo to see brochure.

	YOUTH CONFERENCES 4/1 6x9 Postcards,24x36 Poster Grace Community Church These are a couple of postcards and poster I designed for several youth conferences held by Grace. I love movie posters and I wanted the events to have a similar look, something that felt a bit more epic than your standard conference postcard. Click the photo to see the work.

	PARALEGAL/ACCOUNTING ASSISTANT 4/4 Brochure Southwest Professional Institute This was a brochure designed to promote the Paralegal and Accounting program at Southwest Professional Institute. Click the photo to see the brochure.

	IT'S A WRAP FILM FEST Print Campaign Kingwood College I won two Silver Paragon Awards in Specialty Marketing and in Poster Design from the National Council of Marketing and Public Relations for the work done on the campaign for the 2005 film fest. Click the photo to see the work.

	BOUDREUX'S RESTAURANT MATERIAL Menu, Table Tents, Ads, etc. Boudreux's Cajun Kitchen Boudreux's Cajun Kitchen had just come to us as they were getting ready to open up a new location. This provided us a chance to give them something fresh that still coincided with pieces of their original look. Click the photo to see the work.

	INSPIRATION LIFESTYLES Logo, Inserts, Ads, Billboards. Inspiration LifeStyles Inspiration Lifestyles was the sister store to Danish Inspirations. With furniture comparable to IKEA, we developed a look that felt more "hip" as the request was made for. The advertising worked well for the store and was even complimented in a SOHO (small office, home office) magazine. Click the photo to see the work.

	TD ROWE AMUSEMENTS 33x8.5 4/4 Trifold Brochure TD Rowe Amusements TD Rowe was one of our big clients who came to us after a bad experience with another agency who was off the mark with their target audience. We did a redesign of their look and work and helped bring in the right customers they were looking for. This was their "Who we are" brochure. Click the photo to see the brochure.

	RESEARCH POSTER PRESENTATION 48x48 4/0 Poster Western Carolina University School of Nursing This dessign was for a faculty member who was presenting at a national conference. It combines the colors of the school and a much better visual flow of information than normally seen on such poster presentations at conferences. Click the photo to see the work.
