Sharing a T-shirt Design I did last week for Discover Outdoors Foundation in NYC for an upcoming event. They wanted something a little vintage this year and I had fun with this sweet typeface I found, modifying it some and working with some simple mountains/trees. Every year they have a hiking fundraiser to raise funds for NYC kids.

I designed a logo for Darren’s new company. He wanted a crest of some sort with his ‘C’ for Cyrus and had an idea with a shield. I sketched a variety of ideas but decided to mock up this idea, combining the a ‘C’ on a shield.
Through the drafts we decided to make the ‘C’ look like it was embossed on the shield. For the cards, I kept them simple but matched the style of the logo. They are Moo’s MiniCards so half of a business card with rounded corners.
A new local Shepherdstown business for translation and interpretation services needed a logo to get their business going. They recognized the need for solid branding for their new venture. They liked the idea of using an owl somehow, a symbol of wisdom. Shannon McCarthy and I teamed up for this project and Shannon sketched several owls and tried many font solutions. All of us wanted to keep this somewhat clean and simple and in the end this was the final selection.
Discover Outdoors wanted a piece to hand out that showcases what they are all about in a quick postcard design. I took one of their own photos for the front and adjusted the colors slightly to make it pop out a little to capture the interest of the viewer. On the back, the client had a lot of information to share. They liked my past Annual Report design with the color blocks so I used that design but added some of their photos into the layout.
A fun retro logo design that I think came out really well. Unfortunately, Atomidata had to close down, so if anyone is interested in repurposing this logo to their own needs, let me know!
A great NYC-based group that brings outdoor adventures & educations to NYC kids – Discover Outdoors Foundation – needed a t-shirt designed for their first Hike-a-thon. The group was hiking 14 miles of the Appalachian Trail in Harriman State Park. It was a little challenging sticking to 3 inks, one being the client’s gray from branding, on a dark blue t-shirt color but I think it came out pretty well.

A tri-fold brochure for a non-profit in Washington DC providing housing to those in need.
I got to refresh the design for the trifold brochure for the local Twin Ridge Upland Bird Farm. They had some newer photos to work with and the design highlights the photography and shares the pricing and basic information.
A 56 page program for an annual conference in DC for AAFA. This year’s theme was global and I wanted to have the brand colors stand out and clean type since there was a lot of copy throughout. I decided to make the presenter photos black and white this year to help with that and the client was ok with that decision.
Another local detailed logo. This logo will mainly be for the businesses truck wrap. Besaw was the client’s last name and he decided to use it to his advantage with a feisty bee holding a chainsaw for his firewood business. I tried to make it fun and colorful with a bit of local mountain vibe.
