Other Preliminary Work,

Concepts and Studies

 

The first set of sketches was done for the gun violence poster. I wasn’t sure whether to use a college student or a younger child for this concept. In the end, I chose to paint a little boy, as the subject matter.

 

The next set of sketches was done for my comic book, “The Legend of Ryn”. Here, I practiced paneling and posing.

 

The third photo is a section of a storyboard that I did for my children’s book, "Speck".

 

In the fourth image, you can see the development that I made with my "Sandpiper Press" logo.  My final work utilizes the same circle idea that I used here.

 

The fifth image shows two movie concepts that I chose for a project. I ultimately decided the imagery was better in the “Guardians of the Galaxy” poster.

 

Finally, I compiled a few of my sketches, because sometimes better ideas strike you when you are just doodling for fun. 

SADS Process Book

This is a process book that I created to showcase the steps I take when I tackle a project. For the SADS project, I started with off with researching the topic. Next, I looked for inspiration from other artists that created medical posters in the past. After that, I went through a sketching phase and chose the best concepts, to take to the computer for digital mock-ups. Lastly, I selected the best designs, that I created from the computer mock-ups, and finalized them.
