The text is placeholder, because it will be a while before this runs but It’s a continuation of last years theme, with the official DANA puppy on the couch. I did the logo, type, photo, and illustration. You can see the process on Flickr as usual.

8 colors on gray or taupe. You can click through for a larger version. Check out the process and see how the idea evolved: girl on a vespa -> gorilla on a vespa -> gorilla on a vespa about to slip on road debris -> and the final step of doom, Bad Luck Kitten.

Beauty Bar Sketch

Here is a pencil on paper sketch drawn from some photos I took at SXSW a while back. I dropped some color in with Photoshop. There will be more of these limited color sketches very soon, which I plan to print on the back of my next business cards. You can also take a look at the process.

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 a photo I took 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.

Wooldridge Square Centennial Logo

Shyama — Thu, 04 Jun 2009 17:25:00 +0000

I got to design the logo for the Wooldridge Square Park Centennial. This park is one of Austin’s original 4 downtown parks, and is known for it’s history of political rallies, debates and celebrations. You can also play giant chess there on Saturdays. Here is the final logo along with some of the brainstorming that went into it.
