Barber Business Card

This business card was created for a friend who is an up and coming Barber in Charlotte, NC. The Logo was taken off a public Internet domain and cropped and enhanced in Photoshop, then taken into Illustrator where the text was then put in.

The logo inspired by the Minstrel Show (A show in which the performers would dress in BLACK FACE OR BLACK MAKE-UP in a program usually of Negro songs, jokes, and impressions) was added for the aggressive marketing strategy of a no non-sense, no prejudgment, no playing, no joking around, no shuck'n & jiving black owned business. The No Grease! logo is a prime example of what was meant for evil was made into good, transforming a negative into a positive.

Monday Night Football

This is another Company Flyer for a Social event created strictly in Illustrator. The idea actually came from an Advertisement [below] for Pat's Pizza, it served as a template for my final product. I primarily used the pen tool as a tracing device which was very tedious; yet i found this as a way to gain more practice, I have learned that any image, text, or shape can be distorted using this tool. Everything was done by hand!

::FOOTBALL::

In addition, A football for each NFL team was created with the logo displayed on it. I created one football, edited the logos and created a layer for each. The footballs will be printed on 17x22 inch paper for decorating the conference room for the Monday Night Football Event
