In 2003, I graduated high school and went to a tech school for graphic design. I learned a little bit about Adobe programs but never had my own personal computer at the time and never could fully embrace the skills I had been taught. 20 years later, I went back to school for graphic design again, and having my own computer this time really removed a lot of the shortcomings I had two decades prior.
I am proficient with Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, After Effects, Premiere Pro and Dreamweaver. I very much enjoy making clean and unique designs that push my creative boundaries. Digital art and motion graphics are my passion in a world that is becoming flooded with more and more advancing AI art. The core value of Silver Line Graphics is that I do not use AI generation in my graphic art. I use the tools available in Adobe products, but I do not use AI generation for the sole purpose of maintaining the arts being done by human life. All work is designed and produced by my own imagination.
This is a collection of my various projects and exercises I was tasked to produce during my college courses between January 2024-May 2025.
The first “website” that I ever designed for my Dreamweaver class final assignment, and it is basically a fun little fantasy site, as if the Virginia and Truckee Railroad had the internet in 1875 and you could use it to get information on your ride! It has several pages, including home, some history pages, route map, schedule, tickets and a contact page It’s extremely basic, but it was the first site I’ve created entirely from scratch.
At the end of our motion graphics class, we were tasked with a short video clip that would test our skills that we had learned. I used this opportunity to make a promotional video for my motion graphic skills. It’s very minimal, but it’s only the starting point. The coolest part is the end tag, which I made for my YouTube channel’s videos.
While I learned a lot of the necessary skills 20 years ago, this time I could really apply them and put them to work throughout my different class projects. Below is a collection of images produced in Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop and InDesign. Various logos, infographics, and layout designs from assignments and projects throughout the semesters in no particular order.
