Recently Finished Projects
It has been a crazy spring! I have recently completed several long-term projects that I am certainly excited to be done with. One is a web site for a landscaping company (a friend of my aunt's): T & D Landscaping. I am quite pleased with how the site came out, and thankfully so is the client. Working with lots of green and natural imagery was really fun, and my client was very easy to work with. I love clients like that. :)Another site I recently finished for my job at PETA is KentuckyFriedCruelty.com. The site is a parody of KFC's site, aimed at telling the truth about what goes into KFC chicken (hint: it's cruelty).
I was the primary designer on this project but had plenty of help from my lovely co-workers. It was my first big site redesign since starting at PETA, so I'm very excited about it being done. And it even launched right around my birthday!The first Moscow CommUNITY Walk was held April 28, and I played a role in making it a success. I began working with a group of local citizens to plan the event last fall, and have produced all the graphics and marketing materials for the event, including logos, letterhead, flyers, posters, t-shirts, news articles, banners, and even a giant mural that was recreated by children at the event. It was a huge success and a lot of fun. The goal of the event was to bring about unity within community and set aside differences to walk together and get to know our neighbors and fellow Moscowvites. The image shows the logo I designed on a vinyl banner that was carried by Moscow's mayor during the walk. She even used it to block traffic! More photos of the event are on flickr.
And last but certainly not least, I designed the t-shirts and promotional materials for Moscow's annual Hempfest again this year. I worked on this project last year as well, and had so much fun that I couldn't pass up the chance to do it again. When else would I have a chance to design with giant hemp leaves? The planning committee for Hempfest was a lot of fun, and so was the event, which was held April 21. This year's theme was "Hemp can Save the World" and once again, the t-shirts all but sold out. I encourage anyone not familiar with the hemp movement to check out Seattle Hempfest, Hemp.org, and the Jack Herer, who wrote what I call the Hemp Bible, The Emperor Wears No Clothes. Hopefully if I have time between finishing up work and planning our ultimate Volksvegan Adventure, I can update my portfolio with these recently finished projects. :)
