The following design samples are custom designs that Steve created. They are a lower resolution for website display purposes.
This was a really cool project I did for the 2005 holiday season. The client was Medawar Jewelers. The project was to design a billboard-sized sign that covered most of their storefront windows. Visitors couldn't see the sign from inside the showroom, but traffic along Linden Road in Flint, Michigan would have a hard time missing it! This sign was approximately 13 feet tall and about 24 feet wide. (Roll over the image to see the initial design.)
This was a header logo, originally used by AbleTeam.com to promote their services website.
This is original artwork created by Steve for a collection of music on CD for The Salvation Army Flint Citadel Band, Flint, Michigan. It features an earth shot from a water horizon to the moon in space. It was entirely computer generated.

The next few samples were from a project for Country Club Real Estate. This is a masthead created for a monthly publication.
Here is a sample of Country Club Real Estate's monthly publication, "Market Watch". This particular sample features page 1 and 4 of the publication, offering a glimpse of some of the newsletter publishing that Steve also does for small and mid-sized businesses.

This is a logo for The Salvation Army Norwich Citadel Band, or Norwich, England. The design was initially 2-dimensional with very flat coloring. Steve was commissioned to take the logo and modernize it, giving it a polished silver and brass look. This is the end result.
Steve designed the website for the Norwich Citadel Band, as you will see in the web portfolio section of this website. This is an original monogram that Steve created and incorporated it into a spinning 3-dimensional monogram. (You can see it in production by visiting the band's website at www.NorwichCitadelBand.org.uk .)

This was a whimsical spoof of the eBay logo, created for AFAB Boogie & Blues Company, a music group that Steve was a former member of.

This is a slogan logo, or what Steve likes to call a "slogo" for a local pub in Flint, Michigan.
