Ten Tips for Working with a Graphic Designer

December 28, 2015 Dani Renwick

I have gotten to work with all types of clients in my career so far, some more experienced with the process of design than others. Design is definitely a process, and there are steps and measures that can help everyone get the job done.

Postcards from Arizona

October 27, 2015 Dani Renwick

This is a postcard design I finished up for Mackenzie Collier Interiors in Phoenix, Arizona. Mackenzie is a great interior designer, with modern sensibility paired with great love for quirky vintage things. I love her style and was really excited to help her out on this cool, square postcard.

Yep. Tax day USA 🇺🇸 this is lettering challenge week 2 of @myartbiz @mollyjacques lettering challenge. The objective is to letter one word in one style, this weeks focus is on drama. What’s more dramatic than taxes, honestly? I barely got them done over the weekend 😵😵 #mycreativevoice #michigandesigner #designerillustrator #digitalillustrations #ipadprocreatelettering #michigancreative #taxdayusa

I tried a new illustration style! This gig poster is for Michigan band Steppin In It’s exclusive summer dates they are playing. ✨
The style is called 3-D isometric illustration and it was so fun to make. ✨
Need a gig poster that stands out? Let’s make something beautiful together! ✨

Road trips are the happiest of places for me. This lettering piece is the first of a lil lettering challenge by @mollyjacques. I already screwed up because it’s supposed to be ONE WORD, one style. I obviously forced that lol. But seriously why isn’t it one word? Follow along or join her challenge!

Process video of my recent @sweetwaterwarblers gig poster illustration. .
This art started with the idea that one of the venues, The Mockingbird Theatre in Tennessee, asks that all the show posters have a mockingbird somewhere. .
I actually love having parameters like this because it gives a little definition to a project with otherwise endless options. It ended up a little vintage, a little modern, and uses coral which is my fave right now.

Ahhh Saturday. I’m listening to podcasts (@honestdesigners), drinking copious amounts of coffee and practicing my western lettering with a really well put together workbook from @lettershoppe. Working up some more cactus illo ideas. What you doing this fine weekend opener?

My lettering piece for this week’s Good Type Tuesday lettering challenge is inspired by last nights full moon. It was so big and the really subtle gradient was so goooood. I took a photo and decided to letter around the moon. 🌚🌚🌚
If I won the contest, I’d probably cry because I’m a cryer, and imposters syndrome is real so it would feel like some validation? People that know me know that a few years ago I moved back home from Denver to take care of my husband who eventually passed away from cancer. I put my own hopes and dreams on hold for a long time to help him, and then grieve him. I love mountains, design and lettering, and I finally feel like I’m back to being me just not a person who went through a bunch of traumatic shit. So it would mean a ton. If you’ve read this far I promise I’m about to wrap it up. The moral of the story, is that we’re all winning just by trying and getting up everyday.
