Decisions & Meetings

It was decided that they wanted to go a different route with the Bunny Dash Event, which was rather saddening, but needed.  It was a good lesson that taught me not everything I create will be accepted and plans change sometimes.  It wasn't wasted effort either.  Besides teaching me that valuable lesson, it also gave me more experience with freehand work and outside the box thinking.  I might be able to still use this as a portfolio piece even though it went unused. 

At this present time, I am still working on:
- the Group Fit page
- March News [toilet paper]
- Reverse Sprint Triathlon logo, t-shirt, flyer, and medal.

Below is some of the progress I've made on the Reverse Sprint Triathlon project!

With the logo, the Reverse Sprint Triathlon group wanted to incorporate running, biking, and swimming in that order, since that is the nature of the Triathlon itself.  That's when I came up with this bike idea, and I just ran with it from there.  I am extremely pleased with how it has turned out, and I"m anxious to complete the project, make the clients happy, and ultimately add to my portfolio.  I think it's one of my best logo designs yet!

Valentine's Day Meeting & Bunny Dash Logo Prototype

At our meeting today, we went over the sketches I have for the Reverse Sprint Triathlon logo and Bunny Dash Logo.  We also talked about getting together the information for the March monthly news as well.  Overall, it was a pretty short meeting. 

Here is the Bunny Dash Logo Prototype I have, and I'm awaiting feedback on it.  From there, I will put it on a shirt and begin designing a flyer! :)

Reverse Sprint Triathlon Logo

I have been given the information for the Reverse Sprint Triathlon, so I will be designing not only the t-shirt, but the logo itself!  They are scrapping the old logo, so I have the pleasure of creating a new one for them. 

I have a lot of projects to work on, but I am happy to be busy with work! 

Bunny Dash Logo & Reverse Sprint Triathlon T-Shirt Design

These are the two new projects I have taken on. 

They wanted to update their previous Bunny Dash Logo.  I am to create a more ferocious, determined, and tough bunny.  The one right now "looks like a rat."  Hopefully the one I make doesn't look like a rat!  If I do though, I'll just keep trying :).

The details for the Reverse Sprint Triathlon t-shirt are coming, and hopefully I can start designing this soon as well.

Overall, it has been another good week.  We are going to start doing sketches!  I might even upload a few if they are decent enough! ;)

Outdoor Adventures' Gift Certificate

At our meeting, a new project was introduced to me.  Outdoor Adventures needed their gift certificate revamped, and I was assigned the job.

Here is what it looked like before:

Here is the new design I created:

The new design allows for them to insert the coupon number, expiration date, recipient name, and the gift being given.  All of that information is interchangable, and we created the new design with the idea of it being used for multiple purposes, not just tubing, kayaking, etc.  They wanted to be able to use it for multiple coupons and match the rest of the posters/flyers I've been doing for them.


UPDATE: 2/5/2012
They wanted to make it more open for a variety of events, so I took out the second and third lines and replaced them with an open space for mroe freedom.

February News!

I completed the February issue.  I've already begun working on the March layout!  I'm really excited for these issues and how they will turn out. 

I really ran into space problems with this issue.  There was so much information to include and the space became very limited.  Unfortunately, the last piece of info didn't make it on here.  On the bright side, it was towards the beginning of the month so it wouldn't have gotten much advertisement as it would have been able to.  I have offered to make a flyer or something to compensate for the lost advertisement.  I'd be able to "bust" it out quickly with the creative mood I'm in right now :).

I also completed the Zumba poster this week.  I had to rebuild my computer over the winter break, and I just now reinstalled my tablet [shame on me!].  I didn't realize how much I missed it.  I got a little draw-crazy with this one, but I think it turned out for the best!

January News aka "Toilet Paper"

Here is the January "Toilet Paper" I did.  February's is coming soon.  They enjoyed January's, so I get the honor of doing the next few month's news as well.  Overall, this was a blast for me to create.  I got carried away with the icons and the snowflakes.  I think it was for the best though!  Towards the end, I was worried that the information wouldn't all fit on the page, but it ended up fitting nicely.  Annina did a lot with the information editing which helped loads! 
This was fun, fun, fun!
