Recent Design Work

For many of you, you have wondered what I actually do at my day job. I mainly create teacher classroom decor and items that Elementary Schools use daily. Below are a few examples that have been found at The Dollar Tree. All of the images were taken from my camera at home from purchased samples. The art is ©The Clever Factory.

Fall Display "Busy Bees"

Dimensional Door Decor
This item actually is is 3D and is usually hung on classroom doors.















There are several more pieces that go in this set that I didn't have the opportunity to buy before they were out. I am sure that they live in classrooms across the U.S.
















Certificates



























ABC Borders

Logo Update

Here are the logos I did for Granny White a few weeks back. Turns out when you can just be decisive and not over think, you can really churn out some work. The bottom two were done in less than an hour and during the 2 am hour. Never again, I say!

Reckless Driving

So I've noticed recently that people are becoming more records in their driving every day. What is up with that? I think the observation became a reality this week.

On Monday night my mom, Kyle and I were waking briskly down the sidewalk when're reached the on coming intersection at the corner of our complex and traffic light. To anyone that live nearby or travels down Richard Jones Rd, you know that the light is very long. Some younger person in a Toyota SUV ran the light and came inches away from hitting Kyle. My mom an I were 30ft back from him and watched the whole thing happen. It was dark and we know that the driver did not see him or they would have sat at the light. When Kyle looked and had the signal to cross, he was clear. Nothing was wrong with Kyle and no one got hurt but I hope the driver can get a clue and wait on lights.

Later this week, I witnessed two almost collisions on 65/40 coming home. I know we're all in a hurry but seriously, can people just look before acting.

Parking lots are worse! You h e the people in compacts who can't see because they've been surrounded by giant SUVs an then there are the drivers who speed through parking lots. I hope that someone who is learning to drive right now doesn't pick up all of these bad habits.

I'm over reckless driving. Where is our mass transit rail system already?

The great logo design adventure

So this weekend I am supposed to design a logo for a Fall Fest event. For the past two days at lunch, I've been at the library looking through books or some ideas. I've looked through a lot of great ones but I've got two more to crack open before the weekend is out.

I find it interesting that inspiration can come from everywhere. The challenge is finding something that fits.

Well I'm back to the quest. I'll update later.
