Time to make the next step, which for me means trying to go from dunce to pro in this slightly idiotic adventure in printing.

Quotes Wedding Poster
Our wonderful friends got married in April and like any DIY get-together, they had a lot on their plate, so they asked my wife and I to help out with some of the design. This image was handed off to me with the instructions that it had to be 11 in. x17 in. and that was it – blank check. At first I wasn’t sure what I was going to do, but it slowly came to me as I worked on placing text. The final result was crunched together and if I had more time I might have done cooler things, but for a last minute project everyone seemed very pleased!

Sound Wave 2015 11×17 poster.
Having worked on the Sound Wave… music festival? Broadcast? Live radio and TV event? Whatever you call it, Sound Wave inspired me to create a poster to help market the stuff we are trying to do at Long Beach City College. Sound Wave is 6 hours of live music featuring bands from Long Beach all streamed online from KCTY and KLBC.
Poster is designed for digital 4/0 print on 11 x 17, 80 lb card stock. Line up is incomplete because, well, it hasn’t been planned yet.

Iron Eagle
Having always wanted to make a gig poster and knowing a friend in Portland who’s band, City, I was suddenly inspired. Something about iron eagles hearkens to metal, but I wanted to get away from the German influences and add a twist.
