Graphic Design

Walt Disney Imagineering

My time as a Graphic Designer & Illustrator for WDI Anaheim has been 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. Many projects I have contributed to with WDI have not been released in the parks just yet, so be sure to check back!

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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 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.

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.

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.

Eat in the Village

This is a collection of work done during my time as a Brand Manager and Graphic Designer for Eat in the Village, 5 different dining locations including a cafe, a winery, a French restaurant, a Mexican restaurant, and a gastropub/restaurant.
