Issues Poster

For this poster, we got into groups to debate a current issue. Our group focused on the legalization of marijuana and the effects it will have on America if it is legalized. I argued the side against legalization.


Audience: Fence sitters, college students, young adult and up, parents.


Problem: Convince the audience that marijuana should not be legalized. Overcome the pro's of legalization especially taxable income.

The World According to Wolf

This is a children's chapter book that I wrote and illustrated.


Excerpt from the story:

            With that, Humphrey walked off leaving Wolf trapped in a hole. Since it was too dark to see, Wolf slid up to the wall behind him so he could avoid any other creatures that were down here with him. Soon, the sun began to rise and Wolf could begin to make out shapes.

            When it was full light, Wolf saw that the other creatures in the hole were a pig and a human grandma.

            The pig spoke first. “Let me guess, you tried to get back at a sheep, so you dressed up as a sheep to seek your revenge. Just when you thought everything was going according to plan, you were turned into a sheep.”

            “Close,” responded Wolf. “I was going to get revenge on the shepherd when a sheep doctor discovered who I was and placed a curse upon me. How did you know I was not a real sheep?”

            “Simple,” it was the grandma that spoke this time. “We are both wolves. We tried to get revenge on the creatures that wronged us, but that back fired when some magical creature also placed curses on us.”

            “Wow… So let me guess. You are the wolf from the story The Three Little Pigs,” Wolf pointed to the pig, “and you are the wolf from the story Little Red Riding Hood.” Wolf then pointed to the grandma.

            “Correct!” the two wolves said together.

            “My name is Harry,” said the pig.

            “My name is Jack,” said the grandma.

            “My name is Wolf,” said Wolf.

            Wolf felt like he had found his long lost brothers. Wolves that thought just like him! Who would have thought it was possible?

Star Child Logo

For this project we had to take a common symbol such as a star and change its meaning, so it was no longer the tired symbol we are accustomed to seeing. Once we created a symbol, we had to come up with a company name that would match the characteristics of the symbol. Once the symbol and company name were created, we had to combine the two into a final logo design.

Book Cover Design

The emphasis for this book cover design was a unique combination of word and image that would produce a third meaning when the two were combined.
