This project was a pitch to our client, Explore Charleston, for a collage that would run in the magazine promoting tourism. Efficency was important for this as it was being presented, not published. As I worked, many iterations of these were passed between me, our creative director, and our publisher for feedback until we landed on one that he wanted to pitch.
This draft of the collage had a focus on the Charleston food scene and chefs.
This draft of the collage focused on Charleston's nature and outdoor activites. This was one of the three that ended up being pitched to the cilent.
This simple logo animation was created as part of a larger GIF promoting our upcoming rebrand to our sponsors. Creating smooth animation in a GIF with a small enough file size to be embedded in an email was a fun challenge.
Based on a brief from the primary designer for our Seafood Rodeo event, I illustrated several potential fish emblems for its branding. It was passed off to the primary designer for the event, and it can be seen in this instagram story advertising the event.
After the primary designer created the general branding, e-blast, and instagram stories for this event, they allowed me to work on drafting some ideas for the rest of its collateral. Based on my pitches I was allowed to take over as the primary designer for the rest of the project. Below are slides from my final overview that was routed to our directors for sign-off.
For this next project, I drafted potential color schemes and graphic elements to update our pre-existing branding from last year's event of the same name. These drafts were then passed off to the primary designer. I was also responsible for illustrating the custom artwork that was featured in the final branding.
I created the design for this gift note that was sent out to our Society members with their June/July issue. The design was vaguely art deco as a reference to the 1920s themed gift they received, and the colors were based on the cover of that issue.
