Colors were inspired by client's logo and existing materials.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/85/85974/attachment_85974037 "With this design, I used warm, inviting textures with clean, simple graphical elements to attract customers and differentiate between multiple 'flavors' of the same product. Classic typography evokes vintage produce packaging and was intended to appeal to a target audience that enjoys gardening, bird-watching and purchasing high-quality products.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/71/71192/attachment_71192220 "This client wanted something to hand out to potential clients that would advertise their company's services in a way that said \"rugged and artistic.\" I used a color to appeal to their clientele (located near the University of Michigan) and a clear call to action on the back.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/70/70726/attachment_70726452 "This client wanted a new, fun, modern and colorful direction for their product labels, but needed a lot of government-required information incorporated into the design. I opted for a simple color scheme (with the idea that sister products could use different colors) coupled with some custom illustration. The result is clean and eye-catching, perfect for grocery shelves.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/69/69349/attachment_69349334 "This client wanted a redesign of their current menu to adopt a classier, more elegant vibe. I injected plenty of white space to let the featured dishes breathe. Combined with simple, inviting custom background graphics reminiscent of the sea, the result is fresh and modern.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/70/70320/attachment_70320516 "This client needed graphics that could be used in blog posts and as a Facebook cover to advertise a free motivational podcast series. I used a modern color palette and some rich paper textures to appeal to her target demographic.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/70/70553/attachment_70553731 "This client wanted a design that emphasized that customers and their property were treated \"like family.\" My idea was to make their service images look like a family album--a device that let us use many different images, and stand apart from the crowd.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/69/69308/attachment_69308742 "This client needed a magazine cover design that was flexible enough to accommodate month-to-month content changes, while adhering to some strict mailing guidelines. This design made use of some dynamic angles to draw the eye to different content areas, as well as a color palette that works nicely with their logo/masthead.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/70/70902/attachment_70902700 "This client needed an updated catalog cover to match their new logo. I pulled a square motif and color inspiration from the logo to create rhythm and allow for flexibility in including monthly-changing featured images.")

:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/68/68462/attachment_68462985 "This challenge required a depiction of an apocalyptic wasteland, an unforgiving atmosphere, and an invasive, radioactive plant species. This was an exercise in conveying a unique environment, while incorporating the title in a way that would stand out on both physical and virtual shelves.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/69/69741/attachment_69741174 "This is a graphic treatment for the cover of a dark suspense novel in which a character is faced with a terrible, lonely choice. I used a moody color palette and some custom, minimalist graphics to make highlight the enormity of the stakes: the character is dwarfed by the scale of the bridge beneath him.")
About
I'm a professional graphic designer turned librarian turned web programmer. I love my day job, but I miss design work--so here I am, enjoying the challenge of design briefs whenever I can!
I love the variety of projects I can be a part of here at 99designs; because I view each contest or project as an opportunity to practice my design skills, I do not use templates. Every design I submit is developed for that project or contest from scratch.
Thank you for looking--let's work together!

"SWilliams was so responsive to requests, changes and edits. All the while provided recommendations that would make the design better that we had not considered."
