T101 - Typography Blog

The T101 BLOG is for the graphic design course about typography that I teach at the College of DuPage. It's a resource about basic typography fundamentals. It's also a place to display awesome student work from our class and share other great type examples and interesting insights about professional type design.

Blogger.com - Responsive Website Design

I created it using Blogger.com, the free site was created using Blogger's CMS (content management system). I love how the site is responsive to various media and browsers; computers, laptops, iPads, as well as smart/mobile phones. It so fun and easy, no coding required. You just design, create and publish. No media queries or creating extra CSS (cascading style sheets).

Human Resources Info Graphic

This is an poster concept and a creative test for a recent job opportunity. It was well received by the client, but is still awaiting the final say about the work.

I used photography for the concept's execution. I believe the target audience likes a good story and can identify with real people.

Campbell's Soups Illustrations

Product illustration project created as an example of how to create a "Vector Illustration" for the illustration class I was teaching at the College of DuPage. I am a big fan of Pop Art and Andy Warhol, which was my inspiration.

ENRECO Design and Branding Projects

Here are some samples of branding work from the past. I never had a chance to post this work, but proud of the fact that I was responsible for the creative direction and design from ideation to final output.

This work was done for BEST VANTAGE Inc., a strategic food business and technology consultants, a long standing client of mine.
