Jeffreys heart update

I haven't blogged in a while but much has gone in. So much I have fallen a bit back on posting again. It seems I might never make a habit of posting regularly. Luckily with school ending and my work going into manageable levels, I might be more consistent.

Now let me tell you about my newest piece for Jeffrey's Heart Foundation. Recently my cousin Jeffrey was able to finally come back home after being in the hospital for a long while. He was diagnosed with non-compaction cardiomyopathy in July 2011. Although my family found another designer to go with I did want to help out so I designed a website mock-up (screenshots of it can be seen right below) and a campaign based on the mission.

My idea for the campaign was a simple one to show gratitude and support. I dubbed it, "Show a little Heart, Wear a little Heart." Plans to go with it is still in the approval stage. Here are mock-ups of the shirts using the models from DesignedByHumans T-shirt mock-ups. I was going for something easy and simple.

Show Some Heart, & Wear A Heart Campaign
Help donate to the cause and receive a small token of our appreciation in the form of our heart patch. Place it on a tee and show your support for Jeffrey and his family as he continues to wait for a heart of his own.

The original ideas wore based off an illustration i did on behalf of Jeffrey in hopes to create a poster and sell the prints, however the Tin Man idea was dropped in favor of the ideas above.



If you would like to help donate to help out Jeffrey and his mother Clarissa, please check out this link (LINK) or donate right through paypal and like Jeffrey's Heart Foundation on facebook for more info on the family and Jeffrey's condition. We thank everyone for all their generosity ans support in these trying times.

Just Working On Some of That Mind Katalyst

As I have mentioned before in earlier post, I have been working under Mind Catalyst LLC (Now Mind Katalyst LLC) a learning company focused on compter programing and science education for children K-12. It has been a long ride but a wonderful one. This is the final logo in a mutitude of many roughs. (Below are just a few)

(You'll notice the amount of revision before reaching the final piece. Some are better than others, and the company went through a lot of restructuring as far as what kind of business it wanted to be as well as a name change after coming up with concepts and mock-ups)

Business cards were relatively the same process. The final piece is above while mock-ups and early versions are below.

In the end, we went with a very illustrative style that's simple and straight forward. Here are shots of the tabs I created for Mind Katalyst's Twitter site as well as the facebook fan page. Check it out, and like them.
