Ad Wear Inc - American Flyer

This weekend Ad Wear is attending a convention and has a booth to sell their goods. And they wanted me to create a flyer that they would handout at the event. Once again not a lot of direction just that it needs these words "Your American made and Union Promotional Products and Apparel Supplier"

Other than that I pulled this together. With July 4th coming up and it saying American Made it had have an American Flag. So I pulled the pictures together got there information and made the flyer. I am really pleased with the logo for American Made. The fonts and layout over the flag is just perfect!

Ad Wear Inc Winter Promotion 1




Ad Wear before Christmas sends out special offers to there clients with offers and they asked me to design the seasonal brochure this year. It wont go out till November, but they thought it would take me longer to come up with ideas. So I submitted 3 ideas with one variation.

They gave me no real direction other than it for the winter holidays and that it will be printed on 11x17 paper from a Xerox machine and folded like a book. So each page would be the standard 8.5x11 page. All I need to do now was come up with a theme and and show it on the cover page and leave a spot for a photograph to be placed of a product available.

Since this was not going to be professional printed I knew I had some limitations that there could be no bleeds (meaning the design could not blend off the page. The normal printing process does not allow to print outside margins, it leave a white boarder, so I let my designs reflect this.

First, I went with nature photographs of the outdoors for the background, and a very monochromatic color scheme. Second, wanted a more modern approach so I choose a snowflake design with a vivid red hue to use ad its accent color. Third, was a simple blue snowflake inspired design with a variation.

I know what I would choose, the company has yet to choose, so we will see what they go with.

Ad Wear Inc - Volleyball


Well design is for outdoor volleyball. This was total designers freedom. So I gave them two versions to choose from. What do you think they choose?



The bottom the Volleyball sun

Ad Wear Inc Barrick




Another client of Ad Wear is Barrick and they wanted one of there Drilling Rigs to be made into a Large Embroidery for the back of a jacket. So from the photos provided I created the design above.

The tower is much taller, but there is limited space on shirt, when you want the rig to take center stage, so some liberties were made with the crown on the tower. In a project like this you have to choose what to blend and what to detail out, the job is to big to make it so detailed, other wise the thread would never hold up on the jacked. Originally I sent the design with no tie downs but then they cam back wanting them and then reduced to what the final job is at the top.

Personally I am really satisfied with the job, and love the way it turned out. The color choice was also good. I wish I had a picture of the finished job, it looks awesome.

Ad Wear Inc T-Shirt








So I now work for Ad Wear Inc Located in Salt Lake City Utah. The do shirts and promotional items for corporations. One of their big clients is Salt Lake County and with summer sports programs here are a few T-Shirt Designs I have done in my 2 weeks of employment.

All designs are done with Adobe Illustrator, I prefer that program so you can resize and shape without loosing the integrity of the design.
