BIRDDOG DESIGNS

Recently I have been able to create a few designs for Birddog! These designs embody not only a sense of fun but also the warm embrace of Southern hospitality.

HALFDAYS CHRISTMAS CARD

I was given a project to design a holiday instagram graphic for Halfdays. I decided to go for a Christmas card. My favorite part of this was making the Santa to look like a Halfdays character.

NOWADAYS NEWYEARS

I designed a holiday graphic for Nowadays’ instagram. I used a mixture of illustrator and photoshop to design this.

SQUIRRELS OF THE CITY

Each year New York holds a census in order to learn about the squirrels living in Central Park They are always looking for volunteers to help count the squirrels. When I found out about this event I was inspired to make a graphic.

PLAYING WITH FOOD

I wanted to create a few graphics mocking the phrase “don’t play with your food.” I decided to recreate musicians playing their instrument, and went for a hand drawn look to seem more playful.

ONE MANS TRASH MAKES A BIG SPLASH

Trash in our oceans is obviously a problem. We have all heard it time and time again, where this “news” has gone numb to our ears. I chose to create this infograghic in hopes of it being a refreshing take and to create awarness for this problem.

THE SEVEN HUSBANDS OF EVELYN HUGO

I chose to recreate the book cover for the book “The Seven Husband of Evelyn Hugo”. The current book cover doesn’t do justice to the story that is inside.

I decided to go with a door because Evelyn’s whole life seems to take place behind a closed door. The goal was to feel elegant while also feeling handmade to parallel her memoir.

FLOAT A RIVER

I made a short animation for Garden and Gun. It is a simple video that teaches “How to Float a River.” The goal behind this was a slow, homey tutorial that explains the steps to have a perfect day on the water. I chose to have the video look like someone was flipping through a scrapbook with the sounds of water, music, and the instructions playing in the back. One of the biggest challenges in making this was how tedious this animation was. It took a long time to make sure the video looked smooth at the slow pace it was going. This animation went on to win an ADDY.

LET’S HIKE

Outdoor Voices is all about getting outside and being active. This inspired me to make a little annimation that will quickly illustrate the company and what it is all about. The hiker man and mountains build up from nothing and then collapse again. While collapsing the image turns into the Outdoor Voices logo. This would be seen in a instagram post or story. The hiker man and background go with OV’s aesthetic- poppy, colorful and playful. It is quick and is able to catch the audience’s eye. The viewer is inclined to watch it through a few times in order to take in what is happening.
