Martial arts with flaming sword in city at night

The original concept was to create a dark scene with a martial arts expert. To create contrast within the piece, I used silhouetting (dark/light contrast) and complimentary colors for the skyline and for much of the swordsman’s body.  The embers are intended to create a sense of movement and action throughout the piece.

Working title: Kensei, Ablaze

The importance of “thank you”

Posted on January 31st, 2010 by Aubrey Miller-Schmidt

My husband recently went on an interview, and we discussed how he could show his interest and appreciation. A follow-up e-mail with “thank you” and a summary of qualifications has become the norm, yet it seemed so unfitting for this company — a popular game development company at which his interviewers wore jeans. After talking it over, it seemed like something less formal and more unique was more appropriate.

Here is the final product: A “Thank You” collage of the company’s products and logos, set inside a Photoshop clipping mask.

Weekend Illustrations

Posted on January 31st, 2010 by Aubrey Miller-Schmidt

While I was sitting at my desk this weekend, I found myself doodling in Illustrator. It’s been a little while since I drew for fun, so it’s about time I freshened up in this area. Here are a few of the doodles I came up with.

Cartoon expressions: sad and crying man, and angry woman:

I also spent some time on patterns and line work. Here is a waterfall illustration:

ZeeBee brand

Here is a little design project I put together last week. I haven’t gotten around to photographing prints of it just yet. I’m hoping to do that when I finish the packaging designs.
