In graphic design, a thumbnail is a small sketch. It's the first step in developing a concept. In this blog, I'll show you my illustrations, graphic design work and discuss how, and why, these ideas were created. I'll also share my thoughts on other design topics.

Seasonal Calendar
Each year I create an original drawing that I use as a holiday card for clients and friends. Perhaps my career as a graphic designer began as a child when I would create my own greeting cards to give to my family. I've been producing my own cards in a variety of mediums for many years. This year I decided to expand upon that tradition and created a seasonal quarterly calendar that I am sending to some of my clients in the healthcare field.
I used the same illustration that I used for my holiday card, an illustration of a girl receiving the icy breath of the snow queen. The illustration is a combination of colored pencil, with icy effects added in Adobe Photoshop. On each of the calendars I will feature a seasonal medical condition and treatment. The calendar for the first quarter was focused on hypothermia.
