Created this t-shirt design as our Xtreme Student Ministrie's first t-shirt EVER! I had support during this late project night from Pastor Shawny and Reverend Michael. There are a lot of symbols or phrases that mean a lot to our church within this t-shirt. One is the compass on the sleeve, others are the foot prints, butterfly, map, the xtreme logo, and under the globe it says "praise 'em!" Which speaks for itself if you ask me, Praise Him!

One of my first Web Design and Interactive Media class was a Adobe Director class. Director is software, almost like flash, except instead of designing applications for the web. The main focus for adobe director is designing applications for a cd-rom. This layout was one of my favorites and I spent a lot of time on it. This city of Houston sits in the background with a stary-night background following it. I would show you the entire project, but it only works as a bootable CD-ROM.

These are my new business cards that I will be using at the portfolio show in December. I wanted my business card and my website to match eachother. I had already designed this current layout. I just went off the layout for my business card design. I used the same background as the background on my website. One of my friends told me my business card looks like "expensive chocolate". If you want to hire me to make your next candy wrapper... E-mail me!

This concept was created with my friend Mike Martinez who is graduating in graphic design with me at The Art Institute of Houston. He is a family friend and we were asked to make his funeral cards to hand out to everybody. You would of had to know the guy to understand why the funeral cards are not your average type of funeral card. We designed them for something we know he would of loved. He was young spirited and moved tattoos, he is missed very much so.

This was a quick idea a few of of us had one night while brainstorming a brand for the youth group. I believe the scripture we were using for this was Luke 6:3 which reads, "Give, and it will be given to you. They will pour into your lap a good measure-- pressed down, shaken together, and running over. For by your standard of measure it will be measured to you in return." This was just a quick concept that was done using a bit of creativity and the live trace tool. I altered the illustration a lot after the live trace tool was used.

This is another project that is suppose to resemble a collage of a part of my past time, for Digital Imaging II. Every object you see on here, from the newspaper clipping to the rose is all objects that I physically scanned with my at-home scanner. I used a rose that I've saved for a long time since her funeral. Eva G. Cruz, was my grandmother who battled 18 years of a disease called Schleraderma.

Another promo flyer for Anamalis. We did all these flyers photos during the construction of Nasa Road 1. It's hard to believe there is a freeway there now!

You may notice this in one of my portfolio layouts in the Interactive section. I liked it so much I decided to re-used this design for another flyer of Anamalis.

I did all the promo stuff for this local band Anamalis. So you will see a lot of my work with them. Photography by Mike Martinez.

The art history brush in Photoshop is a fun tool that Adobe has implemented into the program. This began as a regular photo, but the results changed dramatically after use of the new tool.

MY first professional flier, Not one of my favorite pieces but the historic importance out-weighs the design; the Balinese Room in Galveston is no longer standing thanks to Hurricane Ike.

Photo Manipulation! Can you guess what's fake in this photo? Everything! This was originally about five different photos. Now it's one.

My mother is a mail lady for the League City Post Office. During Christmas she gets lots of gifts from her customers. She asked me to design her a postcard for her and this is the design I created.

Brazil travel website was a project for a CSS class that I had taken last year in 2008. The assignment was to choose a city/country/area and create a website over it, for people wanting to visit the area. The Jquery menu has several bugs and only works in firefox. I plan on taking this down sooner than later.

This was going to be an old layout for a personal homepage of mine, but I never got to around to finishing it. All I salvaged were the graphics, which I really liked. The black squares are where all the content was to be displayed.

This is the final version of the Mustard Seed Bracelet card. I created this at work and the boss didn't like the first color swatches so this is what I came up with.

Some more work from headcovers.com. This is another card printout for a Mustard Seed Bracelet. Mock #1.

This small graphic is a printout for a pocket cross item that we sell at my current job, with headcovers.com.

This was a collaboration with my co-worker, Krissy Strimple, she illustrated the logo and I digitally traced over the drawing with Adobe Illustrator; 100% credit to her original drawing.

When I first started web design in high school, this is the brand I created. After doing free lance for a few years, I decided I would rather work for an established company.

I created this graphic in Digital Imaging I we were suppose to use the photomerge tool in photoshop. I originally took about fifteen photos walking down my backyard to get this photo, and pasted them together. It's better to do this indoors because as you can tell, objects move very randomly outdoors.

A poster with all vector images. No photos were used in the making if this poster. All created with the pen tool in Illustrator or type tool.

A vector image of a skull. I created this with the pen and a lot of the mesh tool.

An up-close image of the front of the menu that I made for Taqueria El Herradera. The logo was very tedious work, creating the rope like design.
