Springfield Junior Blues

Ah yes. This was a t-shirt design I was commissioned to do for the Springfield Junior Blues a few years back. I was a junior in high school when this team was in its inaugural year in Springfield. I still chuckle when I think back to when we’d see some of those guys walking around with inverted mohawks after suffering their rookie initiations. They’re a fun team to watch play.

This was for a t-shirt design a few years ago. Goalies really are fun to draw. All of those huge pads, cool helmets, and crazy poses when they make saves (or miss, in this case) really offer up some prime illustration potential.

Along with the rest of the website, there’s still some work to be done. And plans are set. Sterno will be making its debut as soon as the site design is ironed out, but rest assured that when they are, you’re going to have some fun stories to read.

Just consider this a teaser, if you will. Don’t worry if you can’t locate the comics page – It’s not there yet. Down to the last phase. Almost set.

Sellsheets – Chavé

These are sellsheets for a client specializing in selling clutches, or mini-purses. His concern was to brand them as a high-end fashion accessory, so the design was suitably tailored as such.

Corporate Identity – Fellowes®

Graphic Designon January 15th, 2010No Comments

Fellowes®, Inc. is a manufacturer of office products including paper shredders, binding and laminating equipment, desktop accessories, technology accessories, and record storage boxes. Fellowes owns and operates 15 subsidiaries worldwide in Canada, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, The Netherlands, Poland, Spain, Russia, Australia, Singapore, China, Japan, and Korea, and employs more than 1,700 people throughout the world.*

In 2007 I had the opportunity to help redesign the company’s identity pieces. While remaining conservative design-wise with a touch of color to accentuate the corporate brand, the finished piece is used globally in all of their subsidiaries.
