Graphic Design

Walt Disney Imagineering

My time as a Graphic Designer & Illustrator for WDI Anaheim was an ongoing learning lesson with a wide range of projects using different art styles. Below you will find just some of the projects I’ve contributed to for the Pixar Fest 2018 celebration. Please note that everything produced within WDI is a collaborative team effort with many thanks to our Art Directors, Creative Director, Principal Graphic Designers, Pixar Executives, and fellow WDI graphic designer/illustrators.


ESPLANADE_SEXTON
Pixar Fest Esplanade Banners – For this project I took Pixar intellectual property and manipulated, vectorized, and re-positioned the artwork to fit into the classic esplanade banner shape. Every detail of this Pixar Fest design package was carefully documented in a graphics package that was sent to our vendor to help the printing process. I also created the layout for the banners and worked with vendors to approve fabrication methods.


DLH_PARKING LOT_SEXTON
Pixar Fest Disneyland Hotel Parking Lot Banners – Applied the same process as the Esplanade banners to create the DLH banners.


FRONTIER TOWER_SEXTON
Pixar Fest Disneyland Hotel Frontier Tower Graphics – Assisted in creating concepts of all the hotel entrance banners. For these I took Pixar Intellectual property and vectorized it then manipulated the artwork to fit different sizes. Worked with vendors to clarify design intent and approve fabrication methods. Created the stylized design for the three green aliens.


FANTASY TOWER_SEXTON
Pixar Fest Disneyland Hotel Fantasy Tower Graphics – Assisted in creating concepts of all the hotel entrance banners. For these I took Pixar Intellectual property and vectorized it then manipulated the artwork to fit different sizes. Worked with vendors to clarify design intent and approve fabrication methods.


FANTASY TOWER_SEXTON2
Pixar Fest Disneyland Hotel Fantasy Tower Graphics – Assisted in creating concepts of all the hotel entrance banners. For these I took Pixar Intellectual property and vectorized it then manipulated the artwork to fit different sizes. Worked with vendors to clarify design intent and approve fabrication methods.


ADVENTURE_TOWER_SEXTON
Pixar Fest Disneyland Hotel Adventure Tower Graphics – Assisted in creating concepts of all the hotel entrance banners. For these I took Pixar Intellectual property and vectorized it then manipulated the artwork to fit different sizes. Worked with vendors to clarify design intent and approve fabrication methods. Created the stylized design for Mr. Incredible.


MAINSTREET_SEXTON
Worked with our Art Director to choose colors and fabrics for bunting and tie-downs for Disneyland’s Main Street. Assisted in modifying the layout of the bunting locations.


PARADISE PIER_SEXTON
Pixar Fest Paradise Pier Hotel Graphics – Assisted in creating concepts of all the hotel entrance banners. For these I took Pixar Intellectual property and vectorized it then manipulated the artwork to fit different sizes. Worked with vendors to clarify design intent and approve fabrication methods.

LAMPLIGHT_LOUNGE_SEXTON
Lamplight Lounge Concept Art Fixes – I was so happy to stumble upon this concept art that I helped out with up in the Blue Sky Cellar’s sneak peak of Pixar Pier. For this painting I worked with one of our Art Directors to make edits to the figures shown in the painting (drawn by our interior designer) as well as some last minute color and lighting fixes.


PIZZA PLANET WINDOW_SEXTON
Pizza Planet Front Window Graphics – Took Pixar Intellectual Property and created concepts of different compositions for the front window that would allow more light into the restaurant. Produced the final artwork and sent to vendors.

Pizza Planet Front Window Graphics – Flipped the front graphic and edited the logos on the alien’s clothing to maintain accuracy.

 

CARSLAND_BILLBOARD_SEXTON
Pixar Fest Cars Land Billboard Concept – I came up with the idea of getting the Woody and Buzz cars (from the ending credits of Pixar’s Cars) in front of the Cars Land Billboard and created the early designs of the hanging banner above.

Pizza Planet Back Dining Wall Graphic – Took a quick sketch drawn by our principal graphic designers and brought it to life using existing Pixar intellectual property and the planets designed by a fellow WDI graphic designer. Met with vendors to clarify design intent and approved fabrication methods.

 

CarsLand_FastPass_Carts1

Radiator Springs Racers Fastpass Cart Designs – For this project, I followed through with our Art Director’s vision of having this area look and feel like a “pit stop”. I came up with concepts, created the designs for the carts, and created technical drawing sheets. I also completed the artwork for way-finding signage to the entrance of this area.

Thrifted finds from today that I’m frickin nuts over. We went to @thecoastvintagemarket in Mission Viejo, our second time attending. Found this wooden house and immediately grabbed it and asked Blue “...I need this, what should I put in it?!” His response: “Rings.” YES. This is why I love you. So behold, my new ring holder. Also found this corduroy jacket in THE MOST PERFECT shade of chartreuse-y olive green (my favorite)!
Thrift wins! I’ve been looking for these two types of shoes, no joke, for. years. A cute little bootie and a solid pair of loafers. Well! Two weeks ago I physically wrote down a new list of goals and one thing on it was to find my signature style and I had these two pairs of shoes in my head. I happen to walk into Goodwill with Blue to look for something for his Halloween costume and found the booties for $10. They’re even better than what I imagined for myself. Today we went to @flyingmizdaisy (after finding an ad for it in a magazine yesterday at @barnesandnoble ) and I found these loafers in pristine condition from seller @vtg_candy ! Manifesting works, I’m telling ya. I’m a very happy gal.
Happy Halloween my fellow spooks! Love seeing all your Halloween photos! 🎃🐰🖤 P.S. I wore this costume last year (but didn’t do anything to celebrate) and I’ve had “Lizzie McGuire YOU are an outfit REPEATER!” ringing in my head all day.
Last night’s Halloween festivities. Pumpkin carving while watching Scooby Doo, baking (Trader Joe’s) pumpkin muffins, and Hocus Pocus. Looks like a lot of people carved their pumpkins yesterday and it makes me so happy seeing photos!
