I chose a slightly stylized, almost cartoonish, snow and flame design to keep it easily recognizable at different scales.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/156/156728/attachment_156728828 "The client wanted something very simple, not overly complicated in style, and they wanted sardines to feature prominently. I mimicked the overall shape of a food plate, keeping the logo contained into a highly versatile tidy circle. The logo works in one color, and in several.")

This shows good posture versus slouching posture. Several images were produced with a consistent style throughout, emphasis being on a sketched realistic texture to the figures.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/155/155538/attachment_155538670 "The client is a primary care clinic and they wanted a logo that conveyed a sense of good health, trust and support.
A neutral tree design, in a calm welcoming shade of blue, evokes feelings of trust and positivity, and I chose a flexible one color design so it will work on all background shades. The logo is simple enough to be read at small sizes, and visually pleasant enough to be made into large signage.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/151/151544/attachment_151544733 "The client needed an eye-catching illustration that could be embroidered on to a sports shoe. It had to appeal to a variety of potential customers and be easily embroidered.
I chose an abstract wave, inspired by Polynesian art, with bold attention-grabbing colors. It added visual movement to the top of the shoe, and accentuated the flow shown in the sole cut outs.")

The map had to be reasonably accurate yet still have a hint of style reflecting the period the book is set in (1500s). Buildings representing several towns the protagonist visited needed to be included, and they had to be correct for c.1500.
Note: this was an initial run-through of the map. A later iteration had details added to Ireland, and some design tweaks.")

He wanted the photo to look like a hand-colorized vintage photo, in keeping with the vintage clothing and golfing gear.
I desaturated the image, blurred the background and some of the foreground to match how vintage lenses worked, and digitally painted areas to match similar photos from the era he wanted.")

These are Koi fish, although species specifics were kept to a stylistic minimum. I aimed for movement and flow, keeping the design minimalistic. The client received a variety of color schemes to test for the final shoe design.")

The client wanted a tree with cut-away earth showing the roots below, symbolizing path choices.")

I used the state outline as a starting point, drawing an abstract landscape representing Nevada, the landscapes and players in the sustainability field (urban, forestry, water sources, farming, mountains and tourism).")

"Pixel was hands-down one of the best communicators I’ve ever worked with. She jumped in with me—even over the weekend—making sure every detail of the graphics matched what I needed. I honestly don’t know what I would’ve done without her. Her persistence..."
