Melanie McStanton | Graphic Design
Whether you want to deliver a snapshot of your business, convey a new product or service, or just “get the word out”, brochures offer a stunning way to distribute your message.
I have nearly 10 years of experience turning copy heavy word documents into stunning 8 to 40 page white papers. I can help turn your data and studies into easy to digest and engaging reads.
Ulta Beauty is changing their benefits for their employees. I was tasked with multiple projects to raise awareness of new benefit opportunities and enrollment periods.
Sometimes words cannot properly convey the difference between a change in facts and figures alone. Information graphics can bring clarity to complicated data and provide a more meaningful read to viewers.
I’ve never been one to sit still when there are an infinite amount of skills or techniques to be learned. I found my passion for working with fiber in college when I took a fiberforms elective. Since then, I have learned to quilt, felt, tailor, knit, and crochet. Other hobbies that I indulge myself in are cross-stitch, painting, letterpress, twitch streaming, clicker dog training, and writing campaigns for table top games.
A well rounded designer takes their art further than the keyboard and mouse. I have learned to explore other creative avenues that I can bring back into my graphic arts and create more meaningful designs and concepts.
To the left, you will find a random assortment of photos of my projects. These are not professional photographs, but phone pictures of many items throughout many years. Some I took, and some were taken by friends I have shared my hobbies with.
As a one year anniversary gift, my husband and I went to make beer at a local brewery. No beer is complete without a proper name and proper label. I dressed our very tolerant pups with festive costumes, took their pictures, and created “You Better Not Pout McStout” labels. The beer was a hit with friends and family with touches of cinnamon and nutmeg to compliment the winter season.
Using recycled jeans and an old jacket, I sewed Clark a new fashion harness complete with hand set glass crystal wings.
I picked up a scrap of faux leather and used some more recycled jeans and lace to make Lexie her very own denim harness with a skirt. The harness is secured with side release clips and a triple sewed D ring attached to nylon webbing.
My new fur-niece was not to be left out of the new denim crew. I sewed her this denim harness and lace skirt from a pocket of my jeans I wore back in high school.
When selling our town home a few years ago, I got to try my hand at faux flower arrangements.
One year for Christmas, I made everyone handmade gifts. This queen size quilt was a gift for my pokemon fan nephew.
As a designer, your wedding day is a place to really show your close family and friends your skills. These were the table cards I designed for our perfect wedding in Disney World.
