Palm Island Hats & Tropix Coolers

April 16, 2011 in Graphic Design, Illustration, Product Development, Professional | Tags: , , , , , , , | 1 comment

Remember the Palm Island Tote bags, flip flops, beach towels and tees? Well here are some baseball caps with embroidered icons that I created to go along with them.

Anchorific

Sand Dollar

Leaf Medallion

Palm Avenue

They used some of the new stripes I did for beach towels this year for coolers as well.  I think they turned out really cute, some don’t even look like like coolers but more like hand bags!

One of the other neat parts about my job is that I sometimes get to help in the photo studio when we need to create photo packaging for our products.  Now the photographers and stylists are doing the real work in taking the photos, but I got to help art direct the look and feel for the group of items below.  The stripe on the bag was not my artwork, but if you went in stores to buy any of the Oasis Stripe coolers, you’d find that I designed the lovely packaging. :)  Here are some examples of the photos:

The Missy team also used my art from the Palm Island hand bags for t-shirts, so that was a fun surprise to see in store.  So they took the original icons/elements that I drew and arranged them into t-shirt designs.

Tropix – Island Oasis & Tropical Gardens

January 24, 2011 in Illustration, Product Development, Professional | Tags: , , , , , | Leave a comment

Tropix is Bealls’ outdoor brand for Home.  This first group is called Island Oasis and the parrot I drew for it was affectionately nick-named Hank around the office.  So look for Hank in our brand new spring program in stores now. ;)  Also, just a note – the colors on the web are looking kind of yucky.  It could just be my monitor, but these are definitely more pure and vibrant in real life.

The Island Oasis group went along with 2 other color coordinated themes, Oasis Stripe and Splish Splash.  My good friend and college classmate from Ringling, Abby Henderson created the super cute Splish Splash group!

This second group was one I actually worked on over a year ago as a freelancer.  It was my first project for Bealls’ Home division.  My now co-worker Lenny Brinetti actually drew the original flowers for this art group, and I was responsible for taking the print and placing the art on all the items.  I had to create different options with placement and trim, as well as design how the sculptural ceramic pieces would look.  It’s called Tropical Gardens and is still in stores.

Palm Island – Handbags & Flip Flops

40% off Palm Island Flip Flops, Hats & Beach Bags for Ladies Reg. 16.00-46.00 sale 9.60-27.60

Palm Island has a pretty big program for Spring at Bealls and this was the first project I was asked to work on when I first got hired in house back in April.  For as many items as you see here, it’s safe to say there were at least 5 times as many prints/color-way options as you see here before the buyers narrowed it down to the final combos they wanted in stores.  So a lot of work, but I’m happy with it for my first big project. :)  Here you’ll see the handbags (Large, Medium and Small totes) and flip-flops, but in store you should be able to find the hats as well.  Matching beach towels will be out soon, hopefully I’ll get them posted as soon as their online.

NUE Options prints

January 24, 2011 in Illustration, Product Development, Professional | Tags: , , , , | Leave a comment

Over the holidays some of the prints I did while freelancing and in house came out in our Misses brand – NUE Options.  The items below are found in a mixture of Missy, Petite and Plus.  Most of them can still be found in store now, but probably not for much longer.

Nue Options® Ruffle Front Stretch Satin Blouse

Nue Options® Diagonal Ruffle Print Blouse

Nue Options® Ruffle Front Stretch Satin Blouse

The two cardigans I actually got to help place the artwork in the flat, place the rhinestones/embellishments, and make suggestions for button style.  Ultimately the final decisions are made by the buyers, but I had my hands in more than just the art on these.

Save Our Gulf

I designed the artwork on these shirts that you can find at Bealls right now and a portion of the proceeds go to the Guy Harvey Ocean Foundation’s efforts to study and restore damaged ecosystems and marine wildlife in the Gulf of Mexico.

These are the Juniors shirts I worked on, you can also shop for them online here: http://www.beallsflorida.com/page?name=page-shop&top=52&major=105&minor=108

And these are the Misses shirts I worked on, that you can find here: http://www.beallsflorida.com/page?name=page-shop&top=52&major=53&minor=56

The Ringling 100

August 12, 2010 in Illustration | Tags: , , | Leave a comment

Sometime last year I submitted some work to a juried competition for a project called The Ringling 100.  It was open to current students, alumni and faculty and the final product is a published book of “100 images by 100 artists”.  And I believe the proceeds of book sales go to student scholarships.  The judges were:

Don Brandes -Ringling College of Art and Design
Deborah Healy -Ringling College of Art and Design
Kathy Altieri -DreamWorks Animation

Anyways one of my pieces got in, and the book is now out.  This is the piece that got in, something I did while at school: http://jessicawillett.net/2008/04/02/sci-fifantasy-wish-tree/

And here is a link to the place you can purchase the book:

http://www.blurb.com/books/1476592

Currently you can use the coupon code: SAVETWENTY and receive 20% off your purchase (the discount comes off the cost of printing from Blurb, not out of the scholarship funds).

Coral Bay Watercolor Florals

June 5, 2010 in Illustration, Product Development, Professional | Tags: , , , , , | 1 comment

These are the next pieces I did for Bealls as a freelancer last year.  I was asked to create floral elements in watercolor and translate them to illustrator.  The in house artists/designers then arranged these elements how they wanted them on the garment.  I really like the way they arranged them on these white dolman sleeved v-necks. As a part of the Coral Bay line it’s also a nice price point.  I’ve only seen two of the designs I did online, but the other two may be in stores as well.  I just haven’t had a chance to check yet. Here’s the link to the online store page: http://www.beallsflorida.com/page?name=page-shop&top=52&major=53&minor=60
