Graphic Design

I like to work mostly with Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator for my creative process. My work flow includes the use of blending modes, adjustment layers, and layer masking.

Conceptual Art

Image composition

Advertising Design

Digital Photography

My main focus is on product photography. I digitally enhance my photos using Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom.

Web Design

All my website designs were created with Adobe Dreamweaver and Bootstrap. I normally like to use an existing template which saves time and with my coding skills I modify them.

City of Pana IL. Created in Adobe Dreamweaver.

Space Observation. Created in Adobe Dreamweaver.

Biography of Herbert Matter. Created in Adobe Dreamweaver using Bootstrap.

3D Models and Composition

I either create my 3D models using a Computer-Aided Design program and import them into Blender or use Blender to create the wire-frame model and I use Blender or Photoshop for my composition.

About me

I joined the US Navy in February of 1983 and served 4 years as an aircraft mechanic. After being honorably discharged I attended John A. Logan College in the spring of 1987 to study Computer-Aided Design and Drafting including course studies in tooling, mechancial, and Industrial Design.

After graduation in May of 1989, I was hired at Boeing Aerospace Co. as a Design Support Technician and later advanced to Sr. Logistics Engineer where I created technical illustrations and documentation for service manuals. While in St. Louis I met the love of my life and got married and had 2 boys.

I later moved to Davenport IA in December 2008 and worked as a mechanical designer and later move to a technical illustration position creating technical illustrations for maintenance manuals and Illustrated Parts Breakdown.

In 2015 I received a certificate of completion in Web Application Development and later went on to obtain my Bachelor of Arts degree in Graphic Design from Upper Iowa University in 2020. I recently moved to Colorado Springs, CO where I can use my skill set in a position as a graphic designer.
