Our team volunteers time and resources for this opportunity to build something together. We’ve won 6 of the contests since its beginning in 2010. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60aed10c85f385020f1c72c3/1622586604663-MZVLYLUVN4ITHYI6Z1AE/2017+Superheroes-2.jpg Office Culture - University Advancement Superhero Awards In 2013 I started a department tradition for a less formal, yet more epic awards program called the Superhero Awards. I’m fairly well-versed in comics and comic book movies. The Avengers had come out in 2012 and that gave me the template for award categories. As the years went by and as more characters were added to the MCU, more heroes (categories) were added. Winners are awarded a temporary trophy of a Pop-Cap glued to a sandwich Tupperware with their photo kept inside along past winners photos. This has been tradition ever since and the most attended optional event in our department of 100+ employees. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60aed10c85f385020f1c72c3/1622587681534-LH4MBY2XP1BDUHR5AR63/SMC+Principles-2.jpg Office Culture - SMC Team Principles From an office retreat came these principles. In order to make these a staple and expectation of the team, these posters were made as reinforcement. I edited down some of the lengthy verbiage and built or downloaded stock graphics to complement these concepts. Since the budget for internal projects is not very extensive, I kept to 1-color printing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60aed10c85f385020f1c72c3/1622587762430-CPWGW7EJ1D697PU4HE0I/18278337_10212025210081275_3581268001051540445_o.jpg Office Culture - May the 4th Be With You I’m a huge Star Wars fan, and if I can bring people together with Star Wars, I do. Since 2015, I held an annual potluck in office, bring lightsabers and toy blasters for a group photo. This is an easy opportunity to break bread with teammates and not take ourselves too seriously, and talk Star Wars. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60aed10c85f385020f1c72c3/1632888972137-9WLYA5TMNHWRS9WNWLZM/Star+Wars+Day+-+Lightsaber+Your+Life+2020+2021.jpg Office Culture - Lightsaber Your Life Star Wars Day (May 4) 2020 and 2021 were spent working remotely during that period. Usually I’d throw a department wide potluck, but instead I asked my teammates to send in photos of themselves and I’d add lightsaber FX to their photo submission. https://www.imaginarywings.com/personal-projects daily 0.75 2021-09-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60aed10c85f385020f1c72c3/1630803990507-N735NM2KTXZAR5UL1F4Z/engagment-comic.jpg Personal Projects - Engagement - Comic in 2006, I proposed to my wife through a comic strip which I had the waiter place in the dessert menu on the first day of our cruise vacation. My favorite thing that was logistically difficult was I also managed to get her to wear this specific outfit prior to the engagement. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60aed10c85f385020f1c72c3/1630795707487-0KH0TS8CITFX7RKIWE80/Wedding+Collateral.jpg Personal Projects - Wedding Collateral My wife and I married in 2008. We had a destination wedding on the island of Oahu, Hawaii. We stylized our wedding collateral with illustrations to fit our destination wedding: Tiki statues, palm trees, airplane tickets, etc. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60aed10c85f385020f1c72c3/1630861827180-VMOUK5882MAJ4OHHD5FI/Wesley+Lance+2017-1.jpg Personal Projects - Voltron Lance Cosplay My son Wesley at 3 years old really wanted to be Lance from Netflix’s Voltron. I obliged by building him a spandex wrapped foam armor set with foam wrapped rifle. This photo was shot by professional cosplay photographer Gil Riego Jr. https://www.imaginarywings.com/logos daily 0.75 2021-06-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60aed10c85f385020f1c72c3/1636591870178-O7PRC1RR5YMYJR0K4ISI/2011+Chapman+150th+Logo-01.jpg Logos - Chapman 150th Logo (2011) Chapman University celebrated their 150th anniversary in 2011. With such an important milestone, that year’s marketing, promotions and branding all carried this anniversary logo. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60aed10c85f385020f1c72c3/1636591869752-7KJYLVGTEYQHTTJ53JGI/2010+Waste+Management+Partners-01.jpg Logos - Waste Management Partners (2011) My client specializing in construction equipment rentals acquired a new offering, equipment specializing in the recycling of organic construction waste material. To market this new offering they wanted to market this as a specialty capability and with that, this logo. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60aed10c85f385020f1c72c3/1636591869616-MJL24R6WHWDL847RO5RH/2010+Fresh+Bread+-+Founders+Day-01.jpg Logos - Fresh Bread - Founders Day 2010 (Chapman University) The partner aptly named the theme for the 2010 Founders Day, Fresh Bread. It got me thinking about a bread bag clips which is a common staple that now comes with most commercially made loaves of bread. The iconography would invoke the idea of bread even before reading the words. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60aed10c85f385020f1c72c3/1636591869305-5R3SU86WAFQHMZH9I6TM/2008+SOE+Literacy+Programs-01.jpg Logos - School of Education Literacy Programs (2008) I hope the iconography of literacy and book pages turning is obvious. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60aed10c85f385020f1c72c3/1636591869027-L40QS0JKKT24ENK03MCO/2008+Phat+Collectibles-01.jpg Logos - Phat Collectibles (2008) Phat Collectibles is a client that needed new branding for their website and for their logo. This logo, an homage to Transformers resonated with the client and was their marquis logo signage for years when the store was located in Huntington Beach and in Anaheim. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60aed10c85f385020f1c72c3/1636591868844-714U82LS3VU62MPP0P5N/2008+Once+Upon+a+Time+-+Founders+Day-01.jpg Logos - Once Upon A Time - Founder's Day (2008) Titled “Once Upon A Time,” this logo needed the feel of a classic storybook and incorporate the iconography of the Disciples of Christ. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60aed10c85f385020f1c72c3/1636591868473-ENDCN3I7L64W59TE52ZO/2008+Leatherby+Libraries-01.jpg Logos - Leatherby Libraries (2008) The Leatherby Libraries at Chapman University was a new building and the Dean of the Library needed a logo to centralize all its efforts and capabilities behind. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60aed10c85f385020f1c72c3/1636591868325-UA7LU5PC3T876CK8SRMD/2008+Health+Matters-01.jpg Logos - Health Matters (2008) Dr. Larry Santora funded a partnership with Chapman University’s film and television capabilities to produce a PBS SoCal series. They needed a logo, title cards, lower thirds, captions, all the visual branding necessary to carry this on going series. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60aed10c85f385020f1c72c3/1636591867991-JBPJACL9TAS5SP0ENQO4/2008+ESI-01.jpg Logos - Economic Science Institute (2008) Under the direction of Chapman’s Nobel Laureate, Vernon Smith, the Economic Science Institute was established to continue his research in economic sciences. There seems to be an ongoing theme of the use of blues and grays in the business industries and while I tried other colors, this is what resonated with the client. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60aed10c85f385020f1c72c3/1636591867782-HY54AP5NR37SZB1EL707/2008+CGE-01.jpg Logos - Center for Global Education (2008) The Center for Global Education is dedicated to sending out Chapman students to study abroad and to bring Chapman students in from countries abroad. Historically, charting a course typically calls for a compass, which is why the client chose this appropriate direction. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60aed10c85f385020f1c72c3/1636591867139-WRKSDOXZTDSKT4I0H1Z4/2007+Leadership+Development+Associates-01.jpg Logos - Leadership Development Associates (2007) Leadership Development Associates came to me looking for a rebrand. This mark resonated with them with the incorporation of all three letters into this monogram-esque logo. The sweeping blue alludes to form a “D” and give the energy of movement. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60aed10c85f385020f1c72c3/1636591867501-3FX6ZSM27R041M6K1J2C/2007+Orientation+-+Branches-01.jpg Logos - Branches - Orientation (2007) Chapman University’s annual orientation’s theme for 2007 was Branches with a tagline “Go Out On A Limb.” The client chose the option where I mixed an organic feel with an inorganic form. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60aed10c85f385020f1c72c3/1636591866917-MNVRUXLCEQTVLS25I3HV/2007+Kariography-01.jpg Logos - Kariography (2007) My long time dance teacher, Kari Jensen, came to me to build her a website and visual identity. She chose this logo for it’s energy. A powerful committed dancer leaping full force to form a “K” letterform. The name itself is witty as it’s a pun on “choreography.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60aed10c85f385020f1c72c3/1636591866650-3FQ3NFEVSQA0AKAAJX1M/2007+Integrity+Matters+-+Conduct+Board-01.jpg Logos - Integrity Matters (2007) This logo was used by Chapman University’s Conduct Board to reinforce the notion that integrity matters, whether that be academically or interpersonally. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60aed10c85f385020f1c72c3/1636591866371-IJOZV3FK19NBL1A08G8U/2006+Writers+Cafe-01.jpg Logos - Writer's Cafe (2006) The English Department at Chapman University created a space for writers, with the added perk of coffee. To mix those two ideas, I drew a cup, saucer and a writer’s quill forming from the steaming coffee. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60aed10c85f385020f1c72c3/1636591866187-VZUH2HERXCIS5NZ7GEWV/2006+Star+Institute-01.jpg Logos - Star Institute (2006) Science Professor, Frank Frisch, came to me after he received a research grant to brand his newly forming institute. He named it Star Institute, so I used the obvious iconography. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60aed10c85f385020f1c72c3/1636591865820-02EN71WVIBX7QK1F6QYJ/2006+Orientation+-+Journey+On-01.jpg Logos - Journey On - Orientation (2006) Chapman University’s 2006 Orientation was themed “Journey On: Where Will You Find Yourself.” With such ambiguous verbiage that has little visual word association, the client preferred an abstract shape and energy. I used the abstracted letter “J” as a minimum to reference back to title. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60aed10c85f385020f1c72c3/1636591865683-MV7SGWGT2BSFFWD03RV3/2006+Kathleen+Muth+Reading+Center-01.jpg Logos - Kathleen Muth Center (2006) The Kathleen Muth Center is dedicated to the literacy of children. This logo needed to evoke youth and reading. I hope it’s done that with the crayon like scribbles and silhouetted child. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60aed10c85f385020f1c72c3/1636591865321-GIEBB89PSDXOVJ26FJKT/2006+Emerging+Voices+-+Founders+Day-01.jpg Logos - Emerging Voices - Founders Day (2006) Founders Day 2006 themed “Emerging Voices” needed the feeling of something coming from the horizon. I created silhouettes of iconic Chapman buildings and a coming sunrise leading to the Chapman University casted as a shadow. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60aed10c85f385020f1c72c3/1636591865056-SVNH515T6XPKUFEF3DGW/2006+Chapman+Panther+Logo-01.jpg Logos - Chapman University Athletics Panther (2006) One of the greatest learning opportunities of my life. The president of the university asked that the panther not be angry. Originally I created a version where a “C” forms the neck of a Panther to allude to Chapman. Once published and recorded and debuted with the NCAA, I received a “cease and desist” letter from Chatham University. Our logo came too close to theirs. I started over and what you see is the pain and sleeplessness in the eyes panther. Sometimes you see the artist in art. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60aed10c85f385020f1c72c3/1636591864828-J1EFXYEJL3YT7UVTYKER/2005+Orientation+-+Imagine-01.jpg Logos - Imagine - Orientation (2005) Chapman University’s Orientation for 2005 was named Imagine. It was ambiguous, but there was energy in the word itself. This green logo was paired with a dark navy blue accent for all collateral pieces. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60aed10c85f385020f1c72c3/1636591864533-L22UHZB9H4R1CKRG61Z0/2005+On+the+Road-01.jpg Logos - On the Road (2005) One the Road was Chapman’s efforts to reach out to audiences unknowing of the university. We would establish meet and greets with prospective students through alumni from around the country and the world. This logo was used to unify those marketing efforts. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60aed10c85f385020f1c72c3/1636591864407-5DA9A4DVVKAQDAK8C9M3/2005+Homecoming+-+Casino+Tees-01.jpg Logos - Homecoming (2005) Welcome Back to Fabulous Chapman is an homage to an iconic welcome sign in Las Vegas. This logo was used for our Homecoming celebration which also, incorporated a fundraising casino night. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60aed10c85f385020f1c72c3/1636591863854-2K6YY20D2S4K7546KFHJ/2004+Orientation+-+BeyondLimits-01-01.jpg Logos - Beyond Limits - Orientation (2004) When Chapman’s orientation team reached out with their new theme, Beyond Limits, this option stood out to them. It depicted exactly what they wanted even without the title. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60aed10c85f385020f1c72c3/1636591864012-PB6JELKQ5YW3KYR6GENG/2004+Orientation+-+BeyondLimits-01.jpg Logos - First Year Programs (2004) Chapman University had a program specific to first year students, not just Freshmen, to give them opportunities to invest themselves in the university helping them to feel a part of the community. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60aed10c85f385020f1c72c3/1636591863419-OJNUR97UTH4JS9GKQAHZ/2004+Associated+Students-01.jpg Logos - Associated Students (2004) Associated Students was Chapman’s on campus governing body that sees that a student voice is present amongst administration, allocates funds towards programming and events, and sees that clubs/organizations conduct themselves appropriately. The four white bars below the “AS” are representative of the four pillars of Chapman: Academic, Social, Spiritual, and Physical. That concept not specific to this logo, but is repeatedly represented as an architectural detail of the campus: Memorial Hall’s four pillars and the Marian Halfacre Fountain’s four pillars. https://www.imaginarywings.com/infographics daily 0.75 2021-09-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60aed10c85f385020f1c72c3/1622836441418-RH7C953Y8GU6FX3F677Q/Keck+Final-6.jpg Infographics - Keck Center for Science and Engineering Infographic I was furnished a black and white 3D blueprint of the upcoming science building.

These posters and flyers were used to educate the campus community. Also, efforts were made to make Chapman’s food waste and waste management practices transparent to the student community. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60aed10c85f385020f1c72c3/1622836409382-UHPH06ZJKHKM9FRVTFZE/Fear+Survey+2016_Page_1.jpg Infographics - Chapman University Survey of American Fears This research series started in 2014 and continued until 2019.

This font was made during my undergraduate. Just for clarification, an ellipsis is punctuation with three dots to denote an omission, to show a pause or create suspense. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60aed10c85f385020f1c72c3/1637004462978-WXR7LUS78EKI2D3PMLR5/CareerFair2005.jpg Illustration - Career Fair 2005 Poster Career and Professional Development at Chapman University needed a poster to advertise their upcoming career fair. Taking inspiration at the time, Disney’s The Incredibles had resonated with myself and the illustration style used for their mood boards and guides for the tone and aesthetic emoted so much with large blocks of sold colors. https://www.imaginarywings.com/print daily 0.75 2021-09-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60aed10c85f385020f1c72c3/1622835263089-KTW3I4R10CL1WOSY3VP5/IMG_9027.jpg Print - 2004 Admission Collateral I attended Chapman University for my undergraduate from 1998-2002. I eventually landed a position as a full-time graphic designer in 2004. As one of the first projects, I was tasked with the rebranding of the Admission’s suite of collateral pieces: viewbook, steps to enrollment, transfer guide, first look, financial aid, etc. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60aed10c85f385020f1c72c3/1622835274217-WUF909LQX4HQJN8EAMI6/IMG_9028.jpg Print - Chapman University Admission Collateral This is the “MY” series of Chapman Admission pieces. To be bold, with our most prominent recruiting piece, the viewbook, we went black on black. We used a mix of gloss and dull varnish along with rich black and standard black to create a subtly provocative piece. It resonated well with prospective students and it stood out among a sea of typical. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60aed10c85f385020f1c72c3/1622835285389-FS6XL0QFI6MJKSHQYCIU/IMG_8996.jpg Print - Wilkinson College of Letters and Sciences Viewbook The “MY” series continued into our Wilkinson College. Within Chapman University, Wilkinson hold the most number of diverse majors/minors on campus, so to clarify on their diverse areas of study, a viewbook was developed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60aed10c85f385020f1c72c3/1622835342511-OV78EBZH8BC5N2PVC5RE/Wilkinson+Magazine.jpg Print - Wilkinson Review Magazine The Wilkinson College at Chapman University, was filled with stories that they wanted to share. In the fall of 2008 they decided to enlist my help to create an ongoing magazine with them. The publication continued for five years, with two publications a year. This publication has won repeated awards with Admission Marketing Report, now known as Educational Advertising Awards. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60aed10c85f385020f1c72c3/1622835293654-21AVL0Y6HL9XUPCBIDYB/IMG_8961.jpg Print - 2008 Board of Counselors Retreat Invitation Chapman University’s Board of Counselors wanted a formal invitation for their annual retreat. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60aed10c85f385020f1c72c3/1622835328786-ZL7GZSR2FJFT0RQ1FHJB/Birth+of+the+Cool.jpg Print - Birth of the Cool Invitation With this invitation I was given the chance to play with Pantone colors: silver metallics and a neon green. For this piece, I also re-illustrated the iconic Stahl House that overlooks iconic Los Angeles. Also, luckily in stock photography I was able find an illustration of Count Basie which gave me the basis for this midcentury modern era of art, music, architecture, furniture, etc. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60aed10c85f385020f1c72c3/1622835330958-WHWDE5CX9EOMZ5NHVQ77/Graduate+Viewbook.jpg Print - Graduate Viewbook The partner wanted an elegant piece of prestige to market the graduate programs provided by Chapman University. To sell the notion “Graduate Programs of Distinction,” I used a mix of silver metallic, contrasting dull and gloss varnish, and hid the campus’ landmark building, Memorial Hall. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60aed10c85f385020f1c72c3/1622835332949-034QJ2D95OCXZTGIM717/IMG_8976.jpg Print - Graduate Admission Application To pair with the graduate marketing collateral, forms were required. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60aed10c85f385020f1c72c3/1622835335111-BGV14VYXALX5Z9H2GTUD/IMG_8977.jpg Print - Graduate Admission Brochure As a slightly less formal piece to the Graduate Viewbook came the Graduate Brochure. Easier to mail and easier to handout at college fairs for prospective students. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60aed10c85f385020f1c72c3/1622835337947-OCL4XBXSA34S27HX5526/IMG_8984.jpg Print - Ph.D. in Education One defining factor when receiving a doctorate is the hooding ceremony and the color or the hood. I thought that the hood colors unique to education was interesting visual to highlight. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60aed10c85f385020f1c72c3/1622835784474-6YWSPRXGJ2WKD9MRKZFD/12-1256+Bay+Window-X1A.jpg Print - Bay Window Ad Elie Wiesel was a Holocaust survivor and Nobel Peace Prize Laureate. I was tasked to use his quote and his active role at Chapman University to craft an ad for Bay Window magazine. I remember seeing this bit of stock photography and found it appropriate to visualize the content within the quote and the overall exploration that happens throughout the university. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60aed10c85f385020f1c72c3/1622835465917-OXDZU8E8L8EJPQ2QEV7E/VM+Poster.jpg Print - The Vagina Monologues Poster The Chapman Theatre department needed a series of marketing pieces for their upcoming performance of The Vagina Monologues for the International V-Day Movement. V-Day is dedicated to putting an end to violence against women. The play takes stories from various female perspectives, so to give focus on the female gender, I used the “V” in word vagina to give the poster an obvious focal point. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60aed10c85f385020f1c72c3/1622835543788-V0X9RM4Z0GK39QZZKWMW/GamingShowcaseFlyer-X1A.jpg Print - Intercollegiate Computer Game Showcase I was chosen to design for the Intercollegiate Computer Game Showcase. To account for the older and younger gamers, I turned the classic Galaga spaceship into a semi-pixelated 3D graphic. I went with a retro gaming style, because it’s what I grew up with and if these were beginning game developers, pixel based games would not be far off from what would be demonstrated at this showcase. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60aed10c85f385020f1c72c3/1630863445875-FLTPYUKHIQM48XUP931W/Summer+Concert+Ad-X1A.jpg Print - Summer Concert Series In an effort to open up the campus to the Orange County community, Chapman started a FREE Summer Concert series in 2011.

So as not to waste the space and turn the tower into a branding opportunity, I was tasked to create 3 large banners to fit the old town Orange style with Chapman’s effect on the community. One side reads “Welcome to Old Towne Orange,” “Explore,” and “Discover.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60aed10c85f385020f1c72c3/1631040445132-04PHEKK5IN51T9G3X9W3/Water+Tower+Art.jpg Print - Chapman Water Tower 2 of 2 This is the 3 artworks used for the Chapman Water Tower. https://www.imaginarywings.com/promotional-products daily 0.75 2021-09-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60aed10c85f385020f1c72c3/1622826332218-P0H75CK459KMSH8Q6JES/CU_bus.jpg Promotional Products - Chapman University Shuttle Graphics With Chapman University’s footprint growing, and an off-campus Chapman apartment complex called Panther Village, shuttles became necessary.

Our department needed to top ourselves with dry ice smoke leaking from the dragon’s mouth, sound FX loops of dragon growls created by a fellow graphic designer, our office writer built the tail out of sweet potatoes, and our web director built the foam brick background. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60aed10c85f385020f1c72c3/1630873093459-0R6VNPFZ3AGKTMBK6J1T/spider001.jpg Pumpkin Carving Contests - 2012 Pumpkin - Concept After winning 2 in a row, we knew we needed to step up the scale of our pumpkin builds. We decided on a giant spider attacking the most iconic buildings on campus. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60aed10c85f385020f1c72c3/1630873056517-3M703EV0DV5RLPGRWC6K/Halloween_2012_175.jpg Pumpkin Carving Contests - 2012 Spider Pumpkin In 2012 we went for the most Chapman University pumpkin we could. We went with giant spider attacking the most iconic buildings on campus. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60aed10c85f385020f1c72c3/1630886277391-3KWUSFPYNWGA1LQS1UZC/Unknown-1.jpg Pumpkin Carving Contests - 2013 Pumpkin Concept - Selfie In 2013, our newest Chapman facility is the Lastinger Athletics Complex. To incorporate more Chapman themes into our pumpkin carving, we decided on recreating that new building and the trendy thing for that year, selfies. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60aed10c85f385020f1c72c3/1630875338845-6VCRDHVYLGHGQQ5DKZZY/2014+Halloween+Pumpkin+Contest72.jpg Pumpkin Carving Contests - 2013 Selfie Pumpkin This year we wanted to change direction and push ourselves technologically. That year we pushed our web team to create a photo booth system through a mobile phone, a wireless shutter button and a tablet. The beautiful carving was done by our illustrator Ross Loehner. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60aed10c85f385020f1c72c3/1630873126662-6DD7XBGJ983GMLLM2K1M/_MG_0523.JPG Pumpkin Carving Contests - 2014 Global Citizens Plaza Robot Pumpkin The Global Citizens Plaza is a giant mirrored metal ball sitting on a water fountain surrounded by flags of the world. This year we incorporated a fog machine and led lighting system to support our secret robot hiding on campus narrative. Ross Loehner did the carve for this year. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60aed10c85f385020f1c72c3/1630873093375-9B1JD06IMBGBZHD2GXF8/Octopus+Pumpkin.jpg Pumpkin Carving Contests - 2015 Pumpkin Concept - Kraken To continue our Chapman themed pumpkin carving entries, we used the Allred Aquatics Center as our stage for our Kraken concept. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60aed10c85f385020f1c72c3/1630878365524-50M8BXT5548SCJO8IU1W/IMG_1963.JPG Pumpkin Carving Contests - 2015 Kraken Pumpkin Our concept was a Kraken had taken residence in the university’s Olympic sized pool. It continues our ongoing trend of creating a diorama rather than just a pumpkin carving. We didn’t win, but it was a fun build and all of these pumpkins brings the team together to build something unconventional for a small portion of the year. The carve was done by Brittany Hanson. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60aed10c85f385020f1c72c3/1630888642186-XCIBKOJ4KZOBATX59FYQ/ST-Read%2BWorld.jpg Pumpkin Carving Contests - 2016 Stranger Things Concept 2016 was a big year for Stranger Things. We decided to have a rotating platform with the real world on one side and the upside down on the other. In the real world Joyce Byers is ready with ax in hand, waiting by the phone. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60aed10c85f385020f1c72c3/1630879309327-E1HRFG250QOC1UYWXQ1R/DSC_0425.jpg Pumpkin Carving Contests - 2016 Stranger Things Pumpkin-Real World Joyce Byers was a DollarTree store bought doll. The doll clothes, I hand sewed, and the ax was made with a barbecue stick and paper. The background was tiled together from color laser printouts and mini Christmas lights to complete the look. This all sits on a rotating pedestal. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60aed10c85f385020f1c72c3/1630873093964-YDFVAUOGFATGLLZY98G7/ST-Upside+Down.jpg Pumpkin Carving Contests - 2016 Stranger Things Pumpkin Concept 2016 was a big year for Stranger Things. We decided to have a rotating platform with the real world on one side and the Upside Down on the other. In the Upside Down of the Byers living room stands the Demogorgon. This slightly strays from our typical Chapman theme, but in actuality the show’s creators, the Duffer Brothers, are Chapman graduates. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60aed10c85f385020f1c72c3/1630879394314-JHCTY186JKPXC4AYYTCV/DSC_0618.jpg Pumpkin Carving Contests - 2016 Stranger Things Pumpkin This years entry was fueled by teammates impassioned by the show Stranger Things. With the foam faux pumpkin hands and feet from our previous entry “Selfie” we repurposed them for this re-creation of the Demogorgon. He was too heavy and too tall that we had to sit him down on the day of the competition. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60aed10c85f385020f1c72c3/1630948401534-TU860LJOFP2BFQ2JNH3I/Frankenstein+Concept.png Pumpkin Carving Contests - 2017 Frankenstein Concept With our newly built Keck Science Center we mixed Frankenstein’s 200th birthday with the new building. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60aed10c85f385020f1c72c3/1630948211571-I20NSI35RSETFUK2QSPJ/_MG_9364.jpg Pumpkin Carving Contests - 2017 Frankenstein Pumpkin This was a multi-faceted entry. We had Plasma Balls, flashing lights with lightning sound effects in Frankenstein’s chest, numerous teammates’ heads in jars, custom wood signage by designer Ivy Viado, and a green birthday sheet cake by Hallie Nicholson, quickly consumed as you can see. Our carver was our in-house writer, Brittany Hanson. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60aed10c85f385020f1c72c3/1630875303987-FPZO2K4ON6ATFXHJ0G0E/IMG_3072.jpg Pumpkin Carving Contests - 2018 Art Gallery Concept We had the idea due to last year’s rotating platform to create an art gallery highlighting some of the years most provocative art news. Here you see a gallery dedicated to Banksy and the famous shredding of Girl with Balloon at auction at Sotheby’s. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60aed10c85f385020f1c72c3/1630875304833-WIKATQNZE7GJ43CM0WWR/IMG_3073.jpg Pumpkin Carving Contests - 2018 Art Gallery Pumpkins On this side of the gallery, we dedicated to the famous surrealists Salvadore Dali and the infamous Cecilia Giménez, who in 2012 ruined the Jesus fresco Ecce Homo in Borja, Spain. The third gallery was dedicated to artist Matt Bonner’s Trump Baby balloon which made news around the world during President Trump’s visit to the UK. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60aed10c85f385020f1c72c3/1630875304741-9Y13S1T9AV5KX8VY89RV/IMG_4927.JPG Pumpkin Carving Contests - 2019 Storm Area 51 Concept In 2019 there was talk of a Facebook group trying to storm Area 51. It was such in interesting idea, we decided to recreate it in our pumpkin carving contest entry. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60aed10c85f385020f1c72c3/1630875455311-AK8X7LEEAEPH0JL35DXS/IMG_4991.jpg Pumpkin Carving Contests - 2019 Storm Area 51 Pumpkin Here we have a giant alien bursting through roof of an Area 51 hanger while a group of smaller aliens, ninjas, and regular people break through the walls in an attempt to free the giant alien. Also in the background an air battle between military forces and alien spacecraft dogfight overhead. Our carver for that year was Brittany Hanson. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60aed10c85f385020f1c72c3/1630875454208-KJC31H870MUIKJ3L76NZ/IMG_6440.jpg Pumpkin Carving Contests - 2020 The Child Pumpkin This was a year of working remotely. I organized a virtual Halloween celebration with costume and pumpkin carving contests. I knew The Child from the DisneyPlus series The Mandalorian would resonate with my fandom for Star Wars and my teammates. I won for this creation. I hand sewed the outfit and ears, used doll eyes for his face, and used Sculpey and wire to mold hands. https://www.imaginarywings.com/packaging-coming-soon daily 0.75 2021-09-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60aed10c85f385020f1c72c3/1631750993756-MKT64CMWNP4PDWL9S6R9/13-1549-CommencementWater2014.jpg Packaging Coming Soon - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.imaginarywings.com/superhero-awards daily 0.75 2021-09-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60aed10c85f385020f1c72c3/1632356225256-K4RA20GT7EZWLMA0MM6X/superheroes-2013.jpeg Superhero Awards - 2013 Superhero Awards Initially when I began this award series, the Marvel Cinematic Universe had just introduced the original Captain America, Hulk, Iron Man, and Thor. To also add a female heroine into the mix I added X-Men’s The Phoenix. Each of awards represents qualities similar to their Marvel counterparts attributes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60aed10c85f385020f1c72c3/1632356228154-L89056XHJFM70SSJACTZ/superheroes-2014.jpg Superhero Awards - 2014 Superhero Awards With the success of the previous year, the awards continued on with more support, participants, and positivity. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60aed10c85f385020f1c72c3/1632356230396-NIX4OSCBKBV6PHJE5TUW/superheroes-2015.jpg Superhero Awards - 2015 Superhero Awards By 2015 I was receiving requests to add more female heroes to the roster, so that year I added Black Widow. That award represented the office heroes that worked in the shadows to get things done. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60aed10c85f385020f1c72c3/1632356232492-635CCQNQT9EVQR3NLXHM/superheroes-2016.jpg Superhero Awards - 2016 Superhero Awards The 2016 Superhero Awards continued on in its tradition to showcase talented and driven people doing good work. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60aed10c85f385020f1c72c3/1632356235390-UZTH2X49V56ARCHQ6AMT/superheroes-2017.jpg Superhero Awards - 2017 Superhero Awards By 2015 this award program had become a big deal within the organization. For a group of 120 employees, nearly half were attending this optional award ceremony. This creation was just to boost morale and another opportunity to give praise and thanks to fellow colleagues. The MCU was also growing, so it was time to grow. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60aed10c85f385020f1c72c3/1632356238088-K1WW3EXRNR25PUZ1NGLL/superheroes-2018.jpg Superhero Awards - 2018 Superhero Awards By 2018 we now had 7 hero awards: Thor, Phoenix, Iron Man, Black Panther, Captain America, Hulk and Black Widow. Black Panther was the stand out character for the MCU that year, and it was made to acknowledge a person that is a bridge-builder, not someone that builds barriers, a collaborator. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60aed10c85f385020f1c72c3/1632356240605-TYOEFJQ5WCMQA8SHBB9O/superheroes-2019.jpeg Superhero Awards - 2019 Superhero Awards At this point, there are so many heroes in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, these awards aren’t keeping up with the growth. For this year I added two: Ant Man and the Wasp. Dubbed the dynamic duo awards: two people that are known to make something better by working together. https://www.imaginarywings.com/new-page-4 daily 0.75 2021-09-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60aed10c85f385020f1c72c3/1632357142647-13RG3Z06CRR0NYSZEHJE/SMC+Principles-SM.jpg SMC Team Principles - Make it stand out From an office retreat came these principles. In order to make these a staple and expectation of the team, these posters were made as reinforcement. I edited down some of the lengthy verbiage and built or downloaded stock graphics to complement these concepts. Since the budget for internal projects is not very extensive, I kept to 1-color printing. https://www.imaginarywings.com/lightsaber-your-life daily 0.75 2021-09-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60aed10c85f385020f1c72c3/1632889506949-3GO64AZWMAMEX6POIRS2/Star+Wars+Day+-+Lightsaber+Your+Life+2020+2021.jpg Lightsaber Your Life https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60aed10c85f385020f1c72c3/1632889514837-Y6KOH4JT24S3YS39RHU2/Star+Wars+Day+-+Lightsaber+Your+Life+2020+20212.jpg Lightsaber Your Life
