Portfolio Project #5

This is a logo I'm working on for a landscape company. I am also using it in my portfolio. It has a business card, letterhead, an envelope etc.

Portfolio Project #4

This is a brochure spread for Portland Center Stage's winter season. It is updated from here and here.

Portfolio Project #3

This is a book cover for Ian Flemings Casino Royale. The wood that you see is a baccarat paddle. It is used in a British poker game. This an update from this post.

Portfolio Project #2

These are three options for a website design for Mirror Mirror Salon. Yes, this is in fact not the real website salon because well, that design got shot down. So, I decided to start over. And eventually, I do plan to update Mirror Mirror.

MTV Identity from Jessica Tate on Vimeo.


This video is an MTV identity spot. The theme is animals. Basically it's just a random bit of animation and music. If you still confused watch this. It is a collection of real MTV identity spots.

Graphic Signs and Symbols: Symbol Portfolio

Well, this is the end of the road for my graphic signs and symbols experience. The last project was to create a portfolio of everything we have done in the class thus far. I'm not going to post the entire 26 pages but you can always ask me to see it. Here is a couple pages from the book.

Graphic Signs and Symbols: Project 5

This project is for a high-fashion dog boutique. The presentation board shows my processes in how I got to the final logo. Oh, and you just have to laugh at the name. ;) A guy in my group thought of it. 

Illustration - Project 1

This was my first Illustration project. We were to come up with three concepts that involved a celebrity and their "pet." The pet is supposed to be more allusive than realistic. This concept is Oprah Winfery and her pet butterfly. The butterfly represents how she has come from poverty and abuse to the most powerful female in the world. 

And, don't make fun of Oprah and my lack of illustration skills. 

Watercolor on watercolor paper. 12in x 17in.

Drawing 2 - Final Project

 This is my final project from my drawing class from last term. I was to use a style of a previous artist, in my case, Fernand Leger, and apply it to our subject which was a bus stop.

My piece-

Mixed Media: Marker, Charcoal, White Charcoal. Drawing Paper: 9in x 12in.

The City. Fernand Leger. Oil on Canvas.

Here is the Alice in Wonderland title sequence. Enjoy!

Graphic Signs and Symbols: Project 3

What you see above is called an infographic. Basically an infographic is displaying information in a beautiful way, rather than a boring bar graph. We were given the client (mypyramid.gov) and needed to  display the nutritional information in common fast food items. Btw, did you know that as of January 2011, mypramid.gov officially dropped the food pyramid from their suggested healthy diet?

Print Production - Project 2

We were given all these mailers and were to redesign and prepare them properly for print. Let me tell ya, I have a lot more respect for a real print shoppe (not kinkos.) These projects use a variety of full color, pantones, bleeds, etc. 

After Effects - Final Project

This project is a title sequence for Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland. Here are the sketches and rough comps. The finished piece will be uploaded next week.

Graphic Signs and Symbols: Project 2

The "client" for this project is WorkSource Oregon. I created 5 symbols that represent 5 different professions. The projects below represent possible applications of the symbols. 

Graphic Signs and Symbols: Project 1

Graphic Signs and Symbols - Project 1

All of the icons on this board represent me, a laptop, a hat, a fish and a gas station. All of these subjects were given to me. The first column is silhouette based with simplified details. The second column is geometrically based. The third column is based on my favorite symbol, the laptop, and then recreated to complete a set.

This was hand-inked with Prismacolor .001-.08 black pens.

Print Production- Project 1

This project is a black and white (1 color) advertisement.
