So here’s one of the things I’ve been work­ing on lately

I was asked to con­cept and develop some char­ac­ters for some state edu­ca­tional con­fer­ences this year.

The client gave me the descrip­tion of the con­fer­ences and their focus, and sug­gested a visual style then gave me free rein to explore. We picked these four designs from a series of con­cepts I did.

The best part about work­ing on these was see­ing how far I’d come since the last time I’d worked with this client.  There’s a cer­tain joy to tak­ing some­thing from a con­cept, devel­op­ing it, notic­ing — and under­stand­ing, and fix­ing — mis­takes and prepar­ing a final dynamic piece.
