| This bench
advertisement was designed on a tight deadline for the Nova Scotia-based
photo products company�Gough's Stock Photography. The logo of the
humpback whales was a company logo since the business began in 1997 and
was used on letter heads, invoices, and business cards. When the company
decided to advertise on a larger scale, I was contracted to produce a
faithfully recreated drawing based on a small jpeg logo they had been
using. The bench ad sign was to be seven feet long, so a vector-based
drawing in Adobe Illustrator was created. |
|
| This photo shows a more detailed view of the whales. |
|
| This
is a separate but related project for Gough's Stock Photography. When the
company expanded from a home-based business to a retail store, a sign was
needed and the existing elements of the bench ad sign were altered and
repositioned with some new elements added to fit the new dimensions. The store
sign is approximately ten feet long. |

| When
I created the web site for the Maritime Science Fiction Modelers, I
decided we should have a graphic symbol for both the web site, and any
contests and shows we attend. The graphic shows the three components of
our group's title: the Maritimes, represented by a provincial map; the
science fiction is indicated by the starry sky; the modeling aspect is
depicted by the silhouetted modeling tools. |

|
| The
following images are recreations of symbols and logos from various science
fiction television shows and movies. The challenge with Illustrator is to
make as faithful a reproduction as possible. These graphics were created
to practice various techniques with the vector-based tool. |
