New Design: Cinco De Mayo – Five Spot

New Design: Cinco De Mayo – Five Spot
Here’s one I did for The Good Foot Promotions. Originally I wanted to have the band names inside the mouth of the skull but after days of trying to get that idea to work I moved it over to the side. Really happy I spent the time learning how to make those banners! I’ll probably use more of them in the near future.

Minimal Country Design

Minimal Country Design
This is the second design I’ve done for Ally of Good Foot Promotions and she is such a joy to work with!! The requirements were to make something that had a country/americana vibe to it.

These are modern bands and I wanted the design element to reflect...

Ally, of Good Foot Promotions, is the bomb. I designed the flyer and she ruled the streets...

New Design, Wesley Dysart – Bside Myself

New Design, Wesley Dysart – Bside Myself
This design was a lot of fun! I took a rough sketch, created by Wesley Dysart himself, and reinterpreted the concept. Speaking with Wesley about the meaning of Bside Myself, I learned that it was not only a play on words, the B-Side of a single vs. the word “beside,” but also had was a reference to an outer body experience. I thought the original rowing man head had an iconic look, so I traced it in Illustrator and applied lighting effects in Photoshop. The background shapes were also created in Illustrator and processed further in Photoshop. I’m really pleased with the result and...
