Business Cards

A couple of days ago I ordered some "Mini Cards" from Moo. I can't wait to get them and start handing them out! I used the art from my "Best of 2009" CD to make 4 different card varieties.

(The following images include bleed area, so they will be cropped a little smaller than shown.)

I will post a photo when I get the real deal! Check it out if you are looking to make some cards, it was 20 bucks for 100 mini cards (and you can have up to 100 different designs on the front of the cards!)

Back in school!

I am back in school now (only 6 more months, how exciting!) and with school comes projects! In our des comm class we have a quarter long project called the "mona" project: basically it is an exercise in sketching. We have a halfway progress check due tomorrow, so I thought I would share a couple of pages...

The idea for these two pages was to draw an existing product (in this case, a Belkin bookbag and a pair of J-41 heels) and then supplement those drawings with some further development on the page. I think they turned out pretty nice, what do you think?
