Western Carnival

[click to view - 1 image total]

A while back I was a Young Life leader and while I'm no longer a leader, I still make posters and edit videos for them as needed. I was asked to make a poster for their end of the year event that is western themed - kind of a barn-dance type club. I used Photoshop and Illustrator to create the poster. I always enjoy making stuff for Young Life because they always let me have a lot of creative freedom when making things for them.

Men's Basketball Season Highlights



We were asked by the basketball department at Purdue to create a season highlights roll for the end of season banquet. We worked with our producer and came up with interesting shots to fill in the timeline and I was asked to come up with a way to ID the 12 players. Scott Horton, the editor, asked if I could make them with a film look. Below is what I came up with.

The game opener is in black and white so I tried to keep some of the desaturated look of the it. With all the work we have going on I only had one day to create the graphics and I think in the end I spent 14 hours creating all 12 id's. I would have liked to create variations of the look, with different in's and out's and having the filmstrip in different locations, but with the lack of time, I could only create the one look you can see below.

As far as what I used to create the graphic, it was the standards - Illustrator, Photoshop and After Effects. Enjoy!
