Click image to see more details. This selection is an example of different skill sets and flexibility to use different styles, using old school Photoshop and Illustrator. Yes, apps these days can do all sorts of things with a click of a button, but results are random.
Cover for Redbubble Shop
My illustrations put in frames found on iStock. Created wallpaper from scratch in Adobe Illustrator, then all elements put together with shadows in Photoshop.
Gold Foil Logo
Layout created in Adobe Illustrator with combined elements, and hand tweaked. Then pasted into Photoshop to create gold foil effect.
3D Pool Party
Pool party lettering and floaties created in Adobe Illustrator with 3D modeling features.
Photoshop Wood burn Logo
Logo with created Photoshop burn effect on wood background. Initial logo created in Adobe Illustrator.
Vera’s Diner
Just having fun with Adobe Illustrator, with some aged tweaking in Photoshop. All elements created from scratch.
Book Cover Mock Up
Playing with Photoshop lettering effects. Images/ background from iStock – face turned into halftone in Photoshop.
Book Cover Mock Up
Another book mock up. Nothing super fancy, just playing with design. I love books and I love Chip Kidd, who I would like to be when I grow up. (Wish I figured that out sooner…)
Betty Aloha – Shop Logo
Elements were taken from iStock, I confess. But I did quite a bit of rearranging and tweaking to adapt for what was needed.
Vegan for the Animals
Yes, I’m vegan. This is a mishmash of iStock, template elements from Heritage Type, and my own rearranging/ illustration/ hand-lettering in Adobe Illustrator.
Future WGA Member
Simple design I created in Adobe Illustrator to be used for a t-shirt for my teen, for supporting the Writer’s Strike of 2023! Typewriter was an iStock image.
California Bear
Created this in Adobe Illustrator for Redbubble, where it did quite well for a bit. My mother’s family was here before California became a state, so I have a lot of California pride!
