It's been a while since I posted a photograph, so here's a new one of my favorite and most willing subject. Also, check out my new watermark at the bottom right -- I think it's much more professional.

approved!

Good news.... kp creative ltd. is now an official business! Stay tuned for a link to my website, which I plan on finishing up and debuting by the end of the summer.

This is a poster I made for myself as a means of getting myself out there. If there are any Columbus-ites out there with ideas on where I could hang these, please let me know!

bride ideas website

The Bride Ideas website is finally up and running! At this point, I'm still working out a few kinks here and there, but for the most part, it's finished. You may visit Bride Ideas here.

I also enjoy taking photographs of natural objects -- like this tree in Jamaica. I thought the way the sun was shining through the flowery tree like a star was really pretty. I also like the little rainbow sunstreak at the bottom left.

I like taking pictures of animals, particularly my own black lab, Bailey. He is very photogenic and makes it easy for me to take photos of him. He seems to like the attention. :)

For this project, I designed the front (left) and back of a business card for a local dancer/dance teacher. The figure was drawn in Illustrator and was a digital rendering of Julia's signature icon.

This DVD cover design was part of the previously mentioned semester-long branding project. The assignment was to create a DVD cover for a pretend film for our selected non-profit organization. Mine was entitled Best Friends and was a documentary following several people whose lives changed after adopting a dog. The cover copy is all original.

For this graduate class project, I spent the semester working on building a brand: for my project, I chose a local dog adoption agency for which to re-design their logo and create other various products as assigned. I will post these other projects shortly.

This project was for my Making Ideas Visible graduate-level class. I spent the semester creating this book, titled Emotion Meets Music, which visually explored the concept of music and its effect on emotion. Below are thumbnails of the finished version, arranged in three sets. You may click on any of the sets to enlarge the images.

The Bride Ideas project has been a great one so far. I have been able to be a part of a brand-new wedding consulting business, creating the logo and stationery for Bride Ideas (as well as coming up with the name). I hand-drew all the above graphics in Illustrator. A Web site is in the works.
