2009 Downtown Living Tour sketch

Shyama — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 11:10:22 +0000

This is for a full page ad which I am also designing the layout for, to go in Tribeza and other promotional pieces for the tour. The view is actually the view from my window, taken last night. I wanted to include at least one crane (on the Austonian) to show the changing state of downtown and make the sketch specific to 2009. The Sheltie is my friend Jen’s and the orchid is one I have managed to keep alive for a few months. I drew some of the furniture based loosely on my living room, and the room itself and the couple standing at the door are from a photo I took of friends, Dale and Natalie, at their place. The girl with the flippy hair on the balcony looks vaguely familiar too…

Grassroot Institute of Hawaii Website

GRIH is one of the most recent websites and logos I have designed. I have a special place in my heart for projects where I get to design the logo/identity as well as the website. I don’t always post web projects here, but in this case the client gave me complete freedom and I think we were both pleased with the result.
