Package Design

Portfolio Sampler Pack
A self promotional piece for my portfolio page. I wanted a different way to show the variety of skills I can offer so after the initial concept (thank you Mr. Adams), I designed the labels, package design and did a photo shoot for the final piece.

Ford Pinto GT Concept Rallye Edition (circa 1980)

3D Model & Render

Fun little 3D project to enhance the original lines & curves of the car. Many car manufacturers re-launch newer versions of older cars that really don’t maintain the original aesthetic feel that made them great. That is something I wanted to avoid doing with this project. Despite the reputation, this car has a great little body design and I believe this car to be a great little 'hot-hatch' from the 80’s (no pun intended).

Beverage Promo

Package / Print Design

I wanted to make a supporting piece for my portfolio page based on the icon characters that were created for the home page that represented the 4 major disciplines of design-work that I am capable of doing. Labels were made for each icon, printed and applied onto the bottles for a photo-shoot to create a final project.

Graduate Preparedness Posters

Print / Identity Poster Design

Execution of an idea the V.P. of the Career Center had for all campuses. He wanted a series of posters that were based on a small checklist of things he felt would further enhance the mindset of students as they nearing graduation and to better orient them for successful placement in their field of study. I was given a creative license for all aspects of the posters including the title design.

Fantasy Treehouse

Photography / Photo Manipulation

This is a project that started as an idea for students to learn some photo manipulation using Photoshop. I spent the day capturing photos from various places around Longwood Gardens. I needed to make sure that things like lighting, angle, focal length and exposures were consistent to allow for a more fluid process in the making of this project.

1953 Ferrari F375

3D Model & Render

Although I am not much of a fan of Ferrari’s, I felt compelled to model this particular car… specifically because of the wire rims. I enjoyed the way they were designed and believed it would be a good challenge to create them. I could have just done the tires but went ahead and setup for the creation of the entire model.

One of the cars I remember seeing around the neighborhood as a child that I felt like making in 3D. Part of a series that I am doing of creating a virtual garage of older and classic cars. Much cheaper that way and takes-up less space.

Mercedes/McLaren MP4-13

3D Model & Render

A self-promotional piece created for my site. This car is a metaphor for how I approach design and has been since I was introduced to Formula 1® in the late 90's. I originally created the car in Rhino 3D and used Cararra Studio (successor to RayDream Studio) back in 2001. I decided to apply my skills learned over the years and re-build the model more efficiently.
