Work for 369

Nice! I just finished some vector graphics for my husband's helicopter squadron.  They are HMLA-369 The Gunfighters.  HMLA stands for Marine Helicopter Light Attack. They needed to update their logo because it was outdated and there was only one image circulating the entire squadron made YEARS ago.  So I gave them the option of making the image into a vector image.  That way you can put it onto any medium which they greatly needed.  That's what they wanted and they were so excited by the end result.

Life as a procrastinator

Well its been awhile since my last post.  I've been to two weddings. (One of them I created the wedding program and their wedding madlib which they used instead of a guest book. Great idea!)

Wedding Program

Wedding Guest Lib

I have been working on my two classes like crazy in order to graduate. We turned in our "word art" last week. I will admit I was kind of struggling with it because I kept taking it to literal, which I do alot. But everyone liked my final project. The "joke" as Jeff (my professor) calls it, is definitely there but its pretty simple. But I had other works to show I was trying.

Final Project

 

Not original but I Love it

Now we are working on logotyping and alot of fun stuff.  I just purchased a light box and was having fun tracing pictures for the first part of my project. I know I could do everything in Photoshop and illustrator but I know that drawing/sketching is a good skill for graphic design. I love to draw and sketch but feel pretty rusty at it so i used this as an opportunity to be a refresher.

My Macaw

I'm also scrambling to put a so so portfolio site together before my one on one with Jeff next week. Its not due then but I'd rather get some feedback early so I have more time to work on it.  I know I am bad at procrastinating so I'm trying to change that and work on it now before its cram time during the semester.
