Projects

• Seitan Scran LogoLogo design for a local vegan food instagram page. The girls wanted to mix their style aesthetic with their favorite food to give the logo a lot of personality. We decided on a gothic style font mixed with a more fun doughnut illustrated font all with darker colour schemes to fit their more alternative personalities.
• Vapeuccino LogoA vape and coffee shop came to me wanting a new logo. For the logo I created an icon to represent the business combining a coffee bean and lightning bolt to represent the vape.

Short term illustrator creating custom posters for clients. At Dreame the customer sends a list of goals or dreams they have or a description of their life, this is sent to the illustrator where they make a custom poster using this information. I created a number of A3 posters using Adobe Illustrator. I was in charge of coming up with the composition, style and what was on the poster based on the customers information.
