A local singing group, Cascade Foothills Chorale, wanted a poster designed for their winter concert. Their theme was simple, "Christmas!" They wanted images that reflected what this time of year means for a lot of people - food, family, friends.
I found a couple of images on Flickr Commons that I composited to show a family exchanging gifts. One image was in color and the other in black and white that I colorized using Photoshop. The whole poster was created in Photoshop.
What is it like to start a career as a digital designer and artist? This will follow my journey in starting a second career - joys, pitfalls, challenges, thoughts and triumphs.

Parade Poster
Enumclaw's Christmas parade is going on 50 years. To celebrate this milestone they wanted a special poster that invoked the past, had gold tones, and a celebratory feel to it. I took a photo of the main street that goes through town and photo manipulated it so it looked more like a drawing. This image was used as the background. I used the traditional Christmas colors, green and red, as accents. The focal is a snow globe with gold confetti instead of snow and 50 years prominently displayed inside with the text treated to look like metallic gold.
The photo was manipulated in Photoshop. The rest, including the snow globe, was done in Illustrator.
