BOOK LAYOUT / PUBLISHING

Kenchen Konchog Gyaltshen Rinpoche
“A Modern Teacher of Ancient Wisdom”

Vajra Publications is a publisher of authentic Tibetan Buddhist Dharma teachings. A majority of the works published are written or translated by Kenchen Konchog Gyaltshen Rinpoche. This book is his biography which was written by his brother – and we had the pleasure of helping them with the publication layout.

This 230-page book talks about Kenchen’s life and features photos as well as praises from his followers. We worked closely with Vajra Publications to pull the text and images together and put together a publication that looks clean, is easy to read, and to understand. 

This book was published and printed — as well as converted into an eBook for online and digital reading.

MENU DESIGN

Pitcher’s Pub Menu 

A long standing Pub, Grill and Sports Arena in Madison Wisconsin – Pitcher’s Pub needed to redesign their menu while keeping the same overall look and branding their customers were familiar with over the years.

We took the existing design and cleaned it up and updated it with a refreshed logo, clean font and a few images. Focus was on clear organization and readability.

Menu was later featured in the Pub on a video screen as well for easy ordering.

OTHER – ILLUSTRATION

“Gator Girl” Shirt Art

A local tavern asked me to create some artwork for T-Shirt printing. They recently hired some new employees and wanted to offer them something different to wear.

The bar has a Gator theme as their signature drink is a “Swamp Water” and Hannes Design has helped them in the past with other Gator themed art. This time they were asking for a ‘sexy female gator woman in a bikini’. 

We came up with this “Gator Girl” art and modified their existing logo to accompany the character to match their current branding.

OTHER – TATTOO DESIGN

Carpe Diem Clock Tattoo

Client had a concept for a tattoo but needed to refine the idea before getting it done. Sent me a few images (including the first one shown) and explained he wanted to combine a Phoenix with a clock and the words “Carpe Diem”.

We designed several different concepts using these guidelines, and refined one several times to come up with the end result shown.

Client took design to tattoo artist for final application.

OTHER – TATTOO DESIGN

“Remember” In Honor Tattoo

Client approached me with a tattoo concept, but didn’t feel comfortable walking into local tattoo parlor and leaving it up to their artist. Wanted to work out the design first and take a finished concept to have tattoo created from.

I was provided with a sketch and a concept – wanted to incorporate the images of a heart, a cancer ribbon and the alzheimer’s association logo within a ying yang circle. The symbols all represented different struggles that loved ones (heart disease, cancer, alzheimers) had faced.

Worked with client and concept on several rounds of different ideas and came up with this final design. Below is the original sketch, the final artwork created and the resulting tattoo.

When you are faced with a project that requires someone to give it a creative touch – give us a call. We’d love to help.
