The Adventures of Remmy the Dog
My newest adventure in graphic design is just that — an adventure! I want to make a series of scenes in which my dog, Remmy, goes on fun adventures. Enter my adorable pup!
I designed my golden retriever pal in Adobe Illustrator this weekend and immediately set to work planning out his first big adventure (sorry for the logo right on top of him… it’s one image I don’t think I’ll be sharing with the rest of the world. Darn guy took foreverrrrrr).
As you scroll through this post, you’ll see each layer in inDesign, then my two changes in Photoshop — all of which lead me to my final two products.
That’s it for inDesign….
Time for a bit of sepia tint and a little bit of texture in Photoshop.
Here are the two final images — can’t decide quite yet which to print for the house.
No. 1
No. 2
So here’s where you com in. What should Remmy’s next adventure be? I’ve gotten suggestions for sky diving, hot air balloon, riding in a car, exploring underwater… I’d love hear your creative thoughts!
The next adventures are up on the blog — check them out!
Occasional Symphony Celebrates Dr. Seuss’ Birthday
Oh hey, blog! Long time, no write! We’ve been so incredibly busy this past week with Valentine’s Day and my birthday that I haven’t had time to do anything but enjoy life and celebrate! I’m not complaining 😉 It’s been a great few days.
Now back to the blog world!
I had the pleasure of designing another poster for the Occasional Symphony this month for one of their upcoming events… remember the scary one I did last year?
Totally freaky.
Well this time around, the project was a little more… colorful! The Occasional Symphony is celebrating Dr. Seuss’ birthday at Port Discovery in Baltimore, Md. on March 2, so needless to say they didn’t want to scare all of the kids away with that creepy guy’s face again. Some polka dots, lots of fun colors and one topsy-turvy cake later, and their poster was complete!
This poster we a lot of fun to do. The background is a solid yellow with a 15 percent tint to it. Then, I took other tints of the same yellow and did polka dots across the back. The colors are all awesome and bright — definitely eye-catching for little kiddos. And the font is an imitation Dr. Seuss font that I found online for free! #Winning. Best of all is the three-layer, topsy-turvy cake, which I designed myself in Adobe Illustrator. It is just adorable. I love it!
If you live in or around Baltimore and need something to do March 2, you’re welcome. I basically just planned your Saturday afternoon for you. The program should be awesome.
I’ve been working on a few other design projects: a logo for my bff’s chocolate business, and a whole bunch of goodies for a local non-profit. It’s been a lot of fun. I love me some graphic design!
