Just finished a couple of VERY fun designs for the Westminster Admissions Blogs. A group of students will be blogging about their life at Westminster, so we needed some fun designs to go with their blogs. We wanted them to be really fun looking, and a little different than our regular material, but sit should still feel cohesive with everything else. The blogs look awesome! You can check one of them out here, and below is a small postcard design I made just for fun in case we decide to advertise the blogs via snail mail:
One of my favorite graphic design pieces I worked on for Westminster, to promote their online viewbook:
This postcard is 4×6, printed in card stock. The back is black and white with the school’s logo and mission statement.
Did this little infographic during my lunch hour, just for fun. I wanted to try my hand at making those cool looking things we see everywhere on the web. Now I have one to call my own:
Another fun project for work: designing the posters for the upcoming events happening this fall at Westminster College. Those posters are sent out to high school counselors so they can advertise the open houses at their schools. I came up with the following three posters (click on the thumbnail to see larger) and now I’m waiting for them to print so we can decide which one will be the winner (tough choice). Which one would you choose?
One of my very best friends is getting married on the Thanksgiving holiday, and she asked me to design her a postcard for her save the dates. A friend of ours has a photography studio, so they went over there and took some wonderful pictures (it was SO hard to choose the best ones) in the theme they were going for (vintage photobooth). I had a few designs for them to choose from, and this one was their (really, everyone’s) favorite:

This is a work in progress project. Westminster is working with Hobsons to, among other things, create this VIP portals for students to check out their application status and read information exclusively tailored according to their interests. It’s looking pretty amazing, and we are in the process of implementing this into their system. But here’s a mock up of what it is supposed to look like in the end:
Following up my identity rebranding for Muay Thai Institute, I designed some neat business cards for them. They needed a few different versions of the card: one for the instructors with a space for them to schedule the students’ next appointments, and another for the employees with other functions. So below are the two versions I created for each case:
Back (Regular card)

Back (Instructor card)

The Muay Thai Institute owner contacted me early this year for a rebranding of her business. I updated all their visual identity, to be used on their business cards, letterheads, website and merchandise.
Below you can see the final logo and it’s different variations so it’s easily adapted to whatever material they need to print on:
Camber is a Westminster student that just got accepted into an Ivy League Law school, and our boss thought… why don’t we make a campaign around it? So we talked to Camber, who was delighted to have a chance to talk to students about her Westminster education and how that helped her get into Law School in a online chat. I was asked to design the postcard for that, but, we didn’t have any good pictures of Camber from the photoshoots on campus… So, it was up to me to come up with a photo for the postcard.
I love the final results for this postcard. I designed and photographed it, and now it’s going to about 1000 houses in the Utah area. I’ve designed many postcards before, that have been sent to many more homes around the country… And it’s fun, don’t get me wrong; but photography is more of a hobby, so it’s quite exciting to have one of my photos traveling to so many people.
Without further ado, here is the postcard:

I’ll be posting this and other photos of Camber on my Photography blog later this week.
No secret that I work for Westminster College. I’m with the Marketing department in Admissions, and I do a lot of e-mail design, besides running some of the college’s main social media accounts (Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, Foursquare, and more recently, Tumblr). The college has hired a Ad Agency to redesign all of our Admissions materials, and in the meantime, the IT department here will be redesign the website to match the new materials. So the other day, my boss asked me to take a stab at redesigning the website too, and I loved the chance to try out my skills at a major site.
Here are the two comps I came up with for the home page (click image to view bigger):
I haven’t seen what the actual website will look like yet, and even though my redesigns didn’t get picked because they are a little too artsy, I’m quite anxious to see the new site. Our webdesign team is pretty great, and I know the new Westminster College site will look amazing.
