Adriana is a freelance designer based in Colorado Springs, Colorado. She is an intuitively creative designer, photographer, and aspiring developer. For her, it's a joy to combine her innate creativity with the technicality of design to express herself in new and innovative ways. She is passionate about utilizing her empathetic problem solving skills to help clients turn concepts from great ideas to complete projects that suite their needs and aesthetic. She enjoys working her way into challenging yoga poses, learning something new, building lego sets with her son, getting creative in the kitchen, and utilizing her creativity as often as possible. https://www.taupebananas.com/info daily 0.75 2021-03-06 https://www.taupebananas.com/portfolio daily 1.0 2020-08-10 https://www.taupebananas.com/portfolio/project-four-lc43c monthly 0.5 2020-08-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5efedb36962bde6fb7557d45/1597094068234-MKSHLGSML1I8OCYF40VI/cannontshirt.jpg PORTFOLIO - Logos - Cannon Fitness Center This design was created pro bono for the fitness center on Cannon AFB in New Mexico. The concept depicts the Zia symbol that is displayed on the New Mexico state flag utilizing barbells and a weight to represent the fitness center; as well as the AC-130W Stinger aircraft that is distinctly flown on Cannon Air Force Base to fully depict the uniqueness of the Cannon Fitness Center. Process: existential crisis > flash of inspiration > sketch > visual research > draw digitally > font choice > create final file https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5efedb36962bde6fb7557d45/1596520046299-X8Q4QLUSO2QGM24S9F8G/sosmockup.jpg PORTFOLIO - Logos - SOS Serving our Superheroes (SOS) will be a branch of a non-profit organization that will serve veterans and their families. The client wanted the logo to resemble a military coin, be purple in color, and include a dandelion. The dandelion is the flower of the military child as it symbolizes resiliency. The challenge of this design was to include two highly detailed items (coin and dandelion), I found a balance in utilizing the circular shape to place the dandelion within its negative space. Process: sketch > research > present initial reiterations > edit > illustrate dandelion > present color choice options > create final file https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5efedb36962bde6fb7557d45/1597093193572-O39KIT16BADW6UN2TW2B/BAMlogo.jpg PORTFOLIO - Logos - B.A.M. This is the first logo I designed for a client. It was a great experience, the idea came to me before we even got a chance to discuss their vision for it. It was definitely an exception to the rule design wise because the idea was precisely what they were looking for and they hadn’t even expressed what they were wanting. I learned a lot from the overall experience, from design to the business side of freelancing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5efedb36962bde6fb7557d45/1597094219639-OBHE8TP4CBEG1UEYEFR8/mrmockup.jpg PORTFOLIO - Logos - Mr. M Mr. M is an organic and natural skincare line for men. The line includes lotions, beard balms, and more. The client’s goal was to create a minimal logo that is clean yet masculine, while placing emphasis on its priority as an environmentally friendly and organic ingredient status. The challenge was creating a logo that would appeal to men, market research helped determine which logo men would trust and be drawn to. Process: visual research > typography > market research > edit > final approval > create final file https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5efedb36962bde6fb7557d45/1597094298981-01ZTJHZLU7OSY3FUFUYB/photologo2.jpg PORTFOLIO - Logos - Photography This particular logo was a joy to design considering my love of photography. It is a product of many sketches that the client and I edited extensively along the way. It was fun making a design unique to the client while combining the different shapes and typography. Process: visual research > sketch various designs > client selection > draw digitally > font selection > client selection > edit > reedit > create final file https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5efedb36962bde6fb7557d45/1597093707525-3OBVEK436OPN9SOO09MF/mwmockup.jpg PORTFOLIO - Logos - Martha Weston This personal logo is for a client who requested 3 logos made to follow proper funding protocol for her non-profit and for profit organizations that are currently in formulation. She wanted a consistent look for the three; this was accomplished by font choice, color, purposeful “breaks” within the design, and the use of certain design elements. Process: visual research > font choice > digitally draw various designs > client selection > add requested details in varying iterations > client selection > refine > client review > create final file https://www.taupebananas.com/portfolio/project-three-42rcm monthly 0.5 2020-08-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5efedb36962bde6fb7557d45/1596054970557-RHB85KLGSF2J8YNWT31J/sketch.jpg PORTFOLIO - Just for Fun https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5efedb36962bde6fb7557d45/1596090413930-MM98QOPEPKJ4RAS0JCUW/i-declare.jpg PORTFOLIO - Just for Fun https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5efedb36962bde6fb7557d45/1596087705015-CYTFQI2HLQM4N4AWON1S/alphabet.jpg PORTFOLIO - Just for Fun https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5efedb36962bde6fb7557d45/1596500238854-Z88QZAB5E9Z2Q4S0118A/newthangmockup.jpg PORTFOLIO - Just for Fun https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5efedb36962bde6fb7557d45/1596500306957-7SVXWJW22VZO08Y1FAYC/rbfmockup.jpg PORTFOLIO - Just for Fun https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5efedb36962bde6fb7557d45/1596500338535-Z8QJO0DYRC61TSBCOFHX/sunflower.jpg PORTFOLIO - Just for Fun https://www.taupebananas.com/portfolio/project-two-ce4mt monthly 0.5 2020-08-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5efedb36962bde6fb7557d45/1596578222875-50PBI6TVMV7RZN2KKLJ7/invite15envelope.jpg PORTFOLIO - Flyers & Invites https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5efedb36962bde6fb7557d45/1595991898947-PFMBQXXV7SY6I16Y9E4N/BPPostersMockup.jpg PORTFOLIO - Flyers & Invites https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5efedb36962bde6fb7557d45/1596578272459-M73S3R6AEALBRX79I41M/treinvites2.jpg PORTFOLIO - Flyers & Invites https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5efedb36962bde6fb7557d45/1595994247295-RGIRAAB7KU0Y8WH8UV33/FirePoster.jpg PORTFOLIO - Flyers & Invites https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5efedb36962bde6fb7557d45/1596578313147-LZL8YNTTUEUMUB6G3J7Q/andrea_invite.jpg PORTFOLIO - Flyers & Invites https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5efedb36962bde6fb7557d45/1596006394282-8758F4K3ZAGEBFS88NJU/iphonemockup.jpg PORTFOLIO - Flyers & Invites https://www.taupebananas.com/portfolio/social-media monthly 0.5 2021-03-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5efedb36962bde6fb7557d45/5cc151c5-7ac2-433d-9102-cd98551d826f/effective.png PORTFOLIO - Social Media https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5efedb36962bde6fb7557d45/c75ed2ef-3090-4662-91f5-e7e8de968f97/effort.png PORTFOLIO - Social Media https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5efedb36962bde6fb7557d45/fbcd16d1-cd45-42d6-b72e-75367c067052/burnitout.png PORTFOLIO - Social Media https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5efedb36962bde6fb7557d45/eef0295e-bfed-4ed4-98da-b2fa3dd68b3c/finish-01.png PORTFOLIO - Social Media https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5efedb36962bde6fb7557d45/e9d8c230-5114-4b2e-9a9e-5bdc6718d775/forgive-01.png PORTFOLIO - Social Media https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5efedb36962bde6fb7557d45/61c9f4e1-b8fb-4ac3-bd5e-27368dc9c8fe/offend.png PORTFOLIO - Social Media https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5efedb36962bde6fb7557d45/07c9a501-2384-4a86-bb92-84b061233353/permanently.png PORTFOLIO - Social Media https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5efedb36962bde6fb7557d45/0b020a11-7548-4ada-86f7-8e2c7ebb3367/holyfearcopy-01.png PORTFOLIO - Social Media https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5efedb36962bde6fb7557d45/e5c58892-5874-43a5-9534-c389d177951a/planted.png PORTFOLIO - Social Media https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5efedb36962bde6fb7557d45/fe32a124-6205-44b0-adc9-da809f824bf6/presence-01.png PORTFOLIO - Social Media https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5efedb36962bde6fb7557d45/d2919707-24c9-4b59-b009-0769b7da1c17/promised-01.png PORTFOLIO - Social Media https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5efedb36962bde6fb7557d45/d6a97ff5-0708-400e-b655-ac4f9e3bec9e/shortcuts.png PORTFOLIO - Social Media https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5efedb36962bde6fb7557d45/da9331e8-7774-4cae-8727-38a891fea13d/tohonor-01.png PORTFOLIO - Social Media https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5efedb36962bde6fb7557d45/004c8fa2-69e0-4079-9a7f-8cd227376602/word.png PORTFOLIO - Social Media https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5efedb36962bde6fb7557d45/ab0690f4-6ca8-48d9-baf9-6ea25a511945/weoppose.png PORTFOLIO - Social Media https://www.taupebananas.com/portfolio/project-one-hk77e monthly 0.5 2020-08-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5efedb36962bde6fb7557d45/1595985679396-O36DP53K5KCX75OSX8EI/PadillaMockup.jpg PORTFOLIO - Book Covers https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5efedb36962bde6fb7557d45/1596576421410-QSSY7FIRGJ50HB4E52D7/moodboard2.jpg PORTFOLIO - Book Covers https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5efedb36962bde6fb7557d45/1596051832665-GTY7XFHPKKLGX5997KT4/RichersonMockup.jpg PORTFOLIO - Book Covers
