a bit about myself

I started my graphic design studies in chattanooga, tn. I earned an associates degree in GD, most of my classmates went out and found jobs. I decided after three years of work on that associates that a bachelor's degree would be better for my career, so I moved to atlanta. I started GSU last semester, very little of my previous degree has trasnfered so I am basically starting over.

All of the work I submitted on my previos post was completed while I was at my last school.

some of my past work

The first two of these are currently being used by the company, the other two were just school projects

more great advertising

Spring Break in Savannah

I hope to use some of these pictures in my book.

Ads I have found

I really like these ads, especially the last two. It took me forever to figure them out but once you get it, its priceless. If you aren't seeing it... back away a bit, don't look quite so close.

Our World

There is a great blog I keep an eye on www.noisydecentgraphics.typepad.com.
I found this there:

what the world would look like if it were run by graphic designers

Great Book!

I bought this book a few weeks ago, I highly recomend it. You can find it at Borders for about $20.

Comic Relief!!

In true tradition to this identity and branding class, I thought everyone might appreciate this!

ps: please don't stop looking through these before you see the Embassy Cleaners, oh I mean Kembass Cleaners!

The Good And The Bad

Here are some of my favorite and logos:

Apple - I am sure everyone else has already listed this one, but you can't beat it.


Cingular - This to me is the only phone company that breaks the mold, it is bright and fun.



Disney - No other logo fits it's brand more perfectly.



Post-It Notes - It is very clean and eye-catching.
The Markhoff School of Dance - (75 year anniversary) The elegance fits the brand very well and the creative use of number and figure are very nice.

And here are some I think can use some work:

State Farm - This logo has been in place forever, i really think it could use a makeover, it is very outdated.

Eyeglass World - Where do you even begin with this one?

Samsung - For the products this company puts out I would simply expect better, it just does not mesh.

Mary Kay Cosmetics - This is a huge company, why on earth is there a clip art flower in their logo?

GMC - I get that they are playing off of the word "general" but, does it have to mean "generic", if this logo were updated, I think it would ultimately increase their sales.
