All are rendered in Adobe Illustrator.

Proclamation Ornaments: The client wanted illustrations of twenty-five ornaments with decorative edges, but not so decorative that it would be difficult for an overseas sculptor to reproduce. To keep costs low, three shapes were selected to alternate through the entire set. Day twenty-five had its own special shape, a scroll. Each ornament had a topic on the front and a Bible verse on the back. A sample of my Adobe Illustrator files is provided along with photos of the finished product.

Repeating ribbon patterns created in Adobe Illustrator. The country town scene was drawn in Adobe Illustrator, imported into Photoshop and finished there. The entire scene and the finished product are shown.

A few of the stamps and stickers I made while employed at the Corporate Offices of Hobby Lobby. Stamps were sketched on paper, scanned, then traced in Adobe Illustrator. The black and white vector drawing was used to make the rubber image. The label was made by importing the line art into Photoshop and adding color. All the stickers were drawn in Adobe Illustrator.

Potpourri Labels, Backers, and Headers: Adobe Illustrator. Refresher oil backer card elements were painted by my former supervisor Sher Ferguson.

Boxes for Aromatheraphy: A collaborative effort in packaging between me, my former supervisor Sher Ferguson, and a coworker. Under the direction of the client and my supervisor, I engineered and drew the box shape and die cut in Adobe Illustrator. The box art is an oil painting by Sher Ferguson.
