Here are my first couple of designing jobs that I've done. I know I still have a ways to go before I reach the next level, but I'm pretty happy with the results so far.
My first job was for a client who needed a new business card and logo that involved a slightly injured butterfly to match her tag line that she already had in mind, " Rise above your limitations".
The next job I was offered to do was for a real estate e-commerce newsletter. I was told they wanted something very simple that used the title of the newsletter and a particular shade of blue which was already used in the newsletter.
My latest job involved a t-shirt design for a big event and fund raiser for the Arizona Regional NA. It was their annual sports day, and the main event was the regional volleyball tournament. The t-shirt was offered in both black and white shirts. I was told that they sold very well.
