Third Eye Leadership Bookmark

Third Eye Leadership provides consulting services for companies. A recent book release, in which they contributed, prompted a trip to a leadership conference. Of course, attendees expect to receive goodies. What better accompaniment to a book release than a bookmark showcasing the sections you contributed?

Utilizing Third Eye Leadership’s existing branding, I designed this bookmark.

Going…Going…Gone. Poster

Going, Going, Gone. performance posterI’ve been working a lot on posters for live performances lately. This one came from a local writing duo with the idea for a play based on a live auction.

So the owner of an auction house has passed away, leaving his two children to clean out the remaining junk. In order to offset some of the funeral costs they decide to hold one last auction, and you, the audience, have come just in time to bid on some “wonderful” items. Each audience member receives some fake money to bid when they enter, but they may leave with some real merchandise! Of course, the items are mostly junk found at the local Goodwill outlet warehouse, but it’s fun.

The result of the request for a poster is shown below. Also included in the final package were the event program and promo flyers based on this design.

The Keeper of the House Poster

Keeper of the House performance posterWritten by a local playwright, The Keeper of the House is a story of a conniving woman and her plan to “eliminate” her estranged uncle to gain ownership of his home for money. Sending her son, dressed as a college co-ed, to infiltrate the house and perform the deed, the mystery unfolds.

The playwright approached me with a script and a request to design a promotional poster. After reading the story I felt the imagery depicted here captured the essence of the story without giving away too much.

The silhouette of the woman represents the son (notice the slightly masculine hand) dressed as a girl holding a bottle of poison, the chosen form of weapon. Of course, there is the old man in the background. I chose shadowy figures to give it the feel of a mystery, as well as to showcase the bottle with a pop of color. The background pattern is reminiscent of vintage wallpaper to represent the aging house.
