In the past I have worked on a plethora of logos and designs that have been either silk screened or embroidered onto clothing. However, this recent project was the first time where the design wrapped the entire article, in this case, a cycling jersey. One thing that was very important to consider was how the design would look on all of the sizes. What will be lost on the small jersey when compared to the extra-large jersey?

The scope of this project included the overall concept for the jersey, Team Defiance logos, as well as some minor logo design rework for one of the team sponsors.

If you are in the Defiance area and are interested in cycling, you can find information about group rides as well as Team Defiance on the Defiance Cycling website.

This is another ad for F.M. Manufacturing, Inc. The image of the trailer was made while the trailer was moving and the camera secured to the trailer on a boom. The camera shutter was triggered with a PocketWizard. The image of the Sharpie was made in the studio. The portable restrooms were drawn in Photoshop with a Wacom tablet.

The finish size of the ad is 7.5″ x 4.875″ and it first appeared in American Liquid Waste magazine.

I recently had the privilege of working with author Mary Mueller on her latest project Stargazer: The Story of Mary Mother of God. Ms. Mueller provided the model, Anna Baranyi, and a cover concept. My job was to photograph Anna in a manner that captured holiness along with a sense of awe in her expression and posture.

From the back cover:

Mary Mueller has created a first century masterpiece in her historical novel of the life of Mary, mother of Jesus. In her retelling of the biblical story, we follow Mary from a young girl, through her betrothal to Joseph, the birth of Christ, his childhood, his ministry, and his eventual crucifixion and resurrection. This heartwarming story will help you better understand the biblical story of Mary and the culture she lived in, as well as bring you to a new understanding of the humanity of Christ.

The cover layout was done by Skip Coryell of White Feather Press.

The book will be available on November 15 and can be purchased from your local bookseller, ordered from places like Borders, or directly from White Feather Press.

Below is another advertisement for Nafziger Family Chiropractic. It will be published in the Archbold Buckeye. The ad size is 3.75″ x 4″.

This poster design was done for Nafziger Family Chiropractic. The finish size of the poster is 18″x24″. It will be on display in their booth at the Fulton County Fair to draw in potential clients and then moved to their office in Archbold.

The photo is of Dr. Nafziger’s son and was done in the likeness of his dad’s professional portrait.

The copy at the bottom reads:

My dad helps people feel good. What most people don’t know about my dad is that he turns on their nervous system so they can function better physically, mentally and socially. Many people walk around like a dim light bulb and don’t realize it. My dad turns people into bright light bulbs!

Who knows…I’m not sure what I want to be when I grow up…but I want to help people, just like my dad!
