Active Army Graphic Illustrations- Army National Guard Illustrator Work

I worked as a Illustrator with the Colorado National Guard for about 3 years at the State Head quaters and 89th command which I designed and printed certificates and logos for each, using photoshop, illustrator and indesign- this one of many

This was another certificate that I designed

Here is another

This was another active duty certificate that I design for the 10th Special Forces Group which I was apart of for 5 years before the National Guard

Here is a logo I designed for a the Space Command Company in the colorado guard

Another logo for a company in the National Guard

Another logo for the National Guard

Thsi was a logo for the 19th Special Forces Group for the National Guard

This was a first design for a coin only given to the Army 10th Special Forces

The job came down from a General of the Army 10th Special Forces, this was the coin made and pencil render of the coin before it was made

This was the Pencil design before it was sent off to Korea to be made into a coin

This was a first coin design job for the Colorado National Guard

Logo Designs

This was done for a friends company another freelance job that I picked up

This was the first logo done for Impact Sports, in dealing with my client they changed it a numbers of times to go back to this original design that you see completed above

This was the second finished design which was too dark for the client so we went with the original design above

Type and layout designs

This was another class assignment, I used Photoshop Cintiq Tablet and pen to render out the background illustration, and Illustrator to add the fonts also to plan out the dvd cover layout

This was done in Illustrator and Photoshop for a business card for a friends Home Inspection Company

This was a type class project for a booklet using Photoshop, Illustrator and Indesign

This was the second render done with a tablet in Photoshop

3d Animation Logo Design

This Was created for the 'Even Evil' 20 second 3d animation logo

3d Art work- Character Model samples- Maya and 3d Max based

This was my major in College I went into Animation and Media Arts for the reason it challenged me, also it gave me diversity in all the aspects of art.  This was for a game I am still designing called "Even Evil" I am about a year into it now. This was the first character model completed.

I used this same model to be the spokesman of the game advertisment, this was a rendered scene of the 20 second trailer.
