Digital Art Design Projects

A product label for soap.
A banner advertisement for hair salon.



A product tag. Digital art done in Illustrator.



This is my painted design for a promo paper airplane.
It had to fly when folded up into a plane as described
using written instructions. Mine was very successful
and flew far. I used gouache paint for this one. I'm so
happy the way all the colors look.



This is one of my digital designs for a Christmas card. I
used my Wacom Tablet in Illustrator for the entire project.



I also did this greeting card digitally to send out to friends. It was done
using Photoshop.



This design was a project for a grocery store department sign. It is done with color pencils.




A tent card design I did for the school cafeteria. We could choose any
food sold there and illustrate it with a chosen media. I did this with
acrylic paints.



These are two examples of wine label design. The Fat Bird design was
an example of how to recreate a real label in exactly the same colors,
size and graphics style. The one on the left is the original. The one on
the right is my design. It was done entirely in CorelDraw.

Mixed media. Paint and digital art together.

Business Card Design

This business card is a simple design for my friend Lyn.




This business card is one I designed for my son in law.



I did this card for my neighbors, who have their own lawn care business.




The Wolfe Detective Agency card was a bit of practice using Photoshop
and Illustrator. I drew the wolf as a vector art project for this
card.




The next business card was a project using digital art.



Here is a card I submitted for a project using Illustrator to recreate
a logo from a supplied logo.



The following is another card using supplied artwork and logo.

Digital Design: Using Photoshop For Cool Effects

 
 The burning fuse was for a poster design for the Olympics.




The following projects are some examples of what can be done
using Photoshop to illustrate cool effects.




I finished this project using various layer masks, filters and
added textures and fills to illustrate this cool laced effect.




This product print ad was done using a hand holding a coke.
I did the photography, editing, and then used filter effects
to build the burst out in Photoshop.




This is my big splash effect. The tomato design was drawn
using Illustrator first. I used an image of rippled water
for the background and various filter effects and brushes for the
splash in Photoshop.
