Logo design for Charles Williams Inc. Done in Illustrator using a monochromatic blue scheme. The logo is for a ship survey company. I thought it would be fitting to include multiple transparent layers in the design to represent the different layers of the ocean. This logo has additional reflections and gradients that give it that sharp and clean look which corporate clients seek.]]>

This is a holiday card that will be printed and shipped to all of Systems Connect's clientelle. The objective was to show a new handle on technology and a new direction that the company is taking.

The design is all vector based except for the logo.]]>

A Content Management System created for Roli's Bed and Breakfast. The client was making constant updates with pictures and text so I recommended a CMS based website where the client could do the updates themselves, saving them time and money in the long run. This project included logo design, graphic design and programming for the form and calendar in addition to CSS and HTML customizations in the Wordpress Theme. SEO search engine optimization was also a prime focus when developing the site.]]>

The circle containing the XYRIS letters represents the actual flower.]]>

A logo created for Evolucion Neutra which is displayed on their website and MySpace pages. All respective content on MySpace and other sites is also created by 2Active Design. This was done entirely in Illustrator using the 3D Mesh Tool. The green stands for the band's desire to differentiate themselves from other bands in the region and the black is a mandatory color when we refer to rock music. The shape itself suggests movement and an abstract nature, leading the mind to fill in the gaps just like the open ended lyrics do in the band's songs.]]>

Logo design for ConnectionsEdu. This logo has an interesting overlap using the s and E. It was started in Illustrator and polished up in Photoshop. It holds true to the Connections metaphor by "connecting" the s and E letters.]]>

The logo for 2Active Design. It is made to meet the width and height requirements of wordpress and google logos to maximize exposure. There are many small tweaks within the design. Many points align with each other and there are quite a few matching angles. It was to remain 2 colors and high contrast again for maximum compatibility and exposure.]]>
