Red Hills Brewing Co.

Red Hills Brewing Co.

Details:

During a long relationship with Red Hills, I produced an incredible amount of creative work for them. This included beer can labels, website designs, merchandising, brand collateral, signage, countless social media ads and more. Shown here are some of my personal favorite pieces, chief among which are the beer can labels. My team and I produced a ton of hand-drawn illustrations for these, and although they may never be seen in stores, I'm incredibly proud of how they turned out.

Blendit

Blendit

Details:

Blendit was a prospective startup, making gourmet coffee and smoothies. I was asked to create a brand for them, in order to help them get off the ground with a clear vision in place for how the company would look and feel. Unfortunately, the plans for the startup fell through, but this remains one of my favorite pieces. The mark is one I'm especially fond of, as the "kiwi-coffee-sunrise" mark speaks to the duality of the brand, and the almost yin-yang shape creates a visually pleasant balance between the two main elements.

Andy Sidaris Collection

The Andy Sidaris Collection

Details:

I take a lot of pride in my personal movie collection.  When I ordered this set of films, it was delivered with a case that I felt the need to replace – so I decided to make it myself, and have some fun with it. In the process of redesigning this DVD set, I actually ended up learning quite a bit about the details that go into a movie's packaging.  As a result, even though this project was just for fun, I ended up being pretty proud of how this turned out!

An Untethered Life

An Untethered Life

Details:

When author Donna Roberts was preparing to release her second novel, she gave me a copy of the manuscript and asked me to design the book cover.  An Untethered Life is about a young woman coping with the loss of her brother to suicide, and is full of compelling imagery and symbolism. In creating the cover, I made sure to convey the tone of the work, as well as utilize the symbolism in a way that grabs a reader's attention and holds it until the very end of the story.

Magic City Whiskey

Magic City Whiskey

Details:

In preparation for opening one of the first whiskey bars in downtown Birmingham, this client asked me to create a brand that utilized a fresh take on Birmingham's "Magic City" nickname in its look and feel.  To accomplish this, the client asked me to use the aesthetic of the Harry Potter film series as inspiration. The end result is a unique and engaging brand, blending motifs of "old magic" and "distinguished taste" in a fun, almost tongue-in-cheek way.  The plans to open the bar sadly fell through, but this remains one of my favorite pieces.
