Here are several different digital design pieces I have completed for clients, friends, and fun!

I have posted many of these designs on a site called RedBubble. I upload my work, and then www.redbubble.com takes care of the printing and shipping for me! Check out my profile here for stickers, shirts, prints, coffee mugs, and other fun items.

As part of the Book Design Technology course within Graphic Communication at Cal Poly, I chose to create a limited edition book for Fahrenheit 451 written by Ray Bradbury. The process began by reformatting the text onto pages using Adobe InDesign including all the small details like page numbers, running headers, dedication page, and publishers mark. For the chapter openings I created three unique water color illustrations and a small fire ball to add some flare. Dull red end sheets made of natural paper with neat fibrous texture mark the beginning and end to the interior. I also added some burnt pages into the back of the book for a bit of fun. All pages were hand sewn together by yours truly.    

The book covering is made from a used fire fighters uniform which was kindly gifted to me from the San Luis Obispo Fire Department. One of the pockets on the pants was cut out and used a pouch to hold the book. The covering is absolutely my favorite aspect of the project, and I am so happy about how it all came together! 

Created for Magazine Design Technology course at Cal Poly. Focused on travel and surf, Sol Magazine encompasses the basic elements of a typical magazine such as the cover, masthead, table of contents, department pages, full page spreads, and a back page advertisement. All photo and digital art content in the magazine is my own.

A website & mobile app for a fictitious Design Conference. This project was made for a Web Design class at Cal Poly. I worked in a team of four students to create visual branding such as logo and theme, marketing materials, complete HTML & CSS code for website and mobile app, and conference related items such as the note book and name tag. We went though a thorough affinity mapping process before hand to evaluate several different types of likely conference attendees and thought about any challenges they may face while traveling and attending the conference.

A neat little holiday greeting card I designed digitally using Adobe Illustrator. I choose to add in the palm tree and ocean scene as most of our family is located in sunny Southern California near the waters edge. Merry Christmas from the Ross family in 2017!
