La Cucaracha Logo Concepts

Franchise logo concepts for a Mexican restaurant - It was created and used as how-to example for the design class I teach at the College of DuPage. The project is to create a type oriented logo with simple graphics, followed up with a menu design. Can't let the students have all the fun; I like to lead by example.

Logo Concepts / Stationary Design - Adobe Creative Suite - Illustrator

Varied Menu Concepts created using Adobe Creative Suite - InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator

This  customize type design is a derivative of News Gothic with the stenciled effect for warehouse look and feel, yet with a clean/modern appeal; I think it works well the the salsa bar and nightclub theme and concept.

Bumpy Road - EAP Posters

Two final poster variations for a client wanting a EAP posters with a biking theme.

These posters are used to promote Workplace Solutions' employee assistance programs. I love the simplicity of these two posters; very strong images with great composition and eye flow, as well as the clean use Workplace Solutions corporate branding, colors and fonts (Myriad).

I believe these poster reflect a couple of my favorite quotes and design philosophies.
- Simplicity is the Ultimate Sophistication-Leonardo DaVinci  
- K.I.S.S. (Keep It Simple Silly)-unknown
