Digital Media

Below you can see a few examples of digital media I created for my clients over the years. Feel free to look at everything all at once or select one of the menu items to view a particular type of media. I have included a bit about each project below the gallery, click here to go directly to the descriptions: A Bit More About the Projects.

I only included a few digital media examples for the Mono/Poly and DesiQuest campaigns. If you would like to read more about those campaigns, view additional materials I created for them, and/or learn a bit more about my design process, visit these pages: Mono/Poly (the Play) Advertising Campaign and DesiQuest Kickstarter Campaign.

A Bit More About the Projects

DesiQuest Patreon Page

I created the header, profile image, and tier graphics for the DesiQuest Patreon page. The first image shows what the page looks like and you can view the individual graphical elements in the following images. To create these graphics, I pulled imagery and design elements I created for previous DesiQuest media and mixed them in with a few behind-the-scenes photos. I chose the photos used in the tier images from a folder of shared BTS photos, my client selected the image used in the header.

Twitch Slides / Overlays

I worked with EffinFunny to create slides and overlays for their Twitch channel. Wherever you see a blank box, that is where the host/guest video feeds displayed during the stream. As you can see from the images, I had to move elements around in order to accommodate the various number of feeds needed, especially for the 13-up overlay. I really enjoyed making the technical difficulties slides because I was able to get creative with how to reflect that concept.

The Curious Matter Aftershow

—When designing the overlays for The Curious Matter Afftershow, I leaned into the blue colors in their pre-existing logo and sourced stock photos to make a composite image that fit with the look and feel of the sci-fi and horror stories told in the podcast.

Call Your Dad

—The production team for Call Your Dad provided me with a design brief to help determine the color scheme and overall style for their show. They didn’t have a logo, so I created the text treatment myself based on that brief.

EffinFunny Patreon-a-thon

—I created this graphic for EffinFunny’s week-long fundraising event.

Thumbnails

The Real Housewives of Horror

—I pulled screenshots from each episode to create the images in these YouTube thumbnails. I would generally pull a separate screenshot for the background and a different one for the characters to give me more flexibility with the layout.

ABCD

—I worked with the production team to finalize and create the key art for the ABCD podcast. I then watched portions of each episode to pull screenshots of the hosts / guests to use in each thumbnail. The square images are for use on Spotify and the others are for YouTube.

StreamDeep

—I pulled the background for the StreamDeep YouTube thumbnails from the video intro for the video version of the podcast. I then watched the episodes to help create copy for the images as well as to pull images of Sandeep Parikh (the host) and his guests.

Banner Ads

I created the concept and copy for these banner ads for TheBridgeTeachers.com. The ads ran on Bridge Base Online so the target audience was people who were already somewhat familiar with bridge playing so I leaned into bridge terminology with a focus on improving your game rather than introducing people to the game.

Social Media Headers / Social Posts / Kickstarter Graphics

EffinFunny Social Channels

—I created the first two EffinFunny headers for use on their social media channels and created additional versions for each of their social channels based on that platform’s specs. For the first image, my client wanted to showcase all of the projects they had worked on. I removed the backgrounds of the majority of the characters in the design and sourced stock imagery to create the background image. When I created the second design, they decided to get more specific and feature the types of content they produce and showcase their current/more popular projects.

EffinFunny Patreon Tiers

—For the EffinFunny Patreon tier images, I pulled screenshots from the shows or used individual character images used in the social media header I worked on previously. The Dinos were created by one of their Patreon fans and I leaned into the coloring for each for their respective tiers. The goal was to make these images fun and creative but not too busy which is why I washed out the images so they would fade into the background and the main focus would be on the text and the Dinos.

Mono/Poly Facebook Cover / Social Posts

—I created these images for use on social media. The banner image was for use on Facebook and the others were mainly intended to be used on Instagram. I created cast-specific graphics/animated gifs for each cast member. The images that mention contributing were intended for use in the production’s Seed & Spark campaign. This is only a sample of the images I created for this project. Follow this link: Mono/Poly (the Play) Advertising Campaign to see additional examples and learn more about the project.

DesiQuest Header / Kickstarter Graphics

—I created the Twitter header image by modifying the key art I created for the DesiQuest show. I utilized the Boris FX Optics plugin for Photoshop to create the visual effects. I created the graphics used in the DesiQuest Kickstarter campaign and have included a sample here.
