The following is a poster I designed for the Greeley Philharmonic Orchestra’s 2007-2008 season. The background image was provided, of which I was very thankful for, on the short time schedule.

As a designer, I was thankful I didn’t have to think about the background image; it left me time to just focus on text placement and a few additional effects to bring the poster to life.
This year is the 100th Anniversary of the Greeley Philharmonic Orchestra.
I suddenly find myself at home this afternoon instead of at work. Both of my boys are sleeping; I’m attempting to be productive and add some more of my work to this website.
The Greeley Philharmonic Orchestra celebrates their 100 year anniversary this year. I was fortunate enough to be able to design some posters for them over the past couple of years. The two I am showcasing today are from the 2008 and 2009 Poinsettia Pops concerts.
I attended CSU and was a student of Phil Risbeck. If you know the name, then a poster with a gradient should be of no surprise. It was from my time at CSU and inspiration from Phil’s work that I drew on for the 2008 Poinsettia Pops concert poster.

In 2009, I wanted to carry on the design theme I established with the logotype and simpliciy of the text, but I wanted to expand on my abilities. I chose to pursue a more photographic solution. The resulting photo manipulation turned out just as I had hoped. Below, you will find the 2009 Poinsettia Pops concert poster.

It was a great experience to be able to work on a “back-to-back” project and carry some themes across while pursuing other routes. In my day job, that’s not something that’s often an option. I have a few more Greeley Philharmonic Orchestra posters I would like to share, so stay tuned.
Thanks!
I love cars. Most anything automotive interests me, especially unique and/or rare automobiles. I was lucky enough to own one such car for a little over 6 years. I owned 1992 GMC Typhoon 2482 (out of 2497). As such, the SyTy culture became a large part of my life. I’ve met a lot of cool people from www.SyTy.net, attended 2 SyTy Nationals events; one in KC and the other in Bowling Green, KY.
These posters were inspired by my love for Syclones and Typhoons:
From those, I offered to do custom work for anyone interested. My one custom poster turned out pretty well, I thought (done for Dennis Harmon, owner of the Typhoon pictured):
I’m looking forward to finding time for more poster design, both on my own and inspired by “custom” projects. I’d also like to eventually branch out into other “Auto Cultures” but I need to make sure I have the time so I can offer good customer service on top of good design… as the posters are for sale if you are interested.
If you would like a custom one of your vehicle, send me and email and we can work something out. I also print them on my own, which helps cut down costs.
