Mechanical/Engineering Design

This is very typical of the shipping carton artwork I've produced over the years. This carton held four individual retail packages.

This is typical of the hundreds of pad and silk screen printing artwork drawings I've done. The dimensional and registration accuracy requirements are very high for this type of drawing.

This was a fun project. The client wanted some larger-than-life physical models of 0.5" long components for display at trade shows. Using engineering drawings of the components, I designed and spec'd a drawing that was used to turn three 20" models from wood. These were painted to match the components. I applied sign vinyl color bands and lettering to recreate the laser-printed identifier information. Wood dowels were used for the radial leads.

A client needed an artwork applique for the control panel of a prototype instrument. From an engineering drawing of overall dimensions and hole locations, I created this artwork.

This slide chart is probably the most challenging project from an artwork accuracy perspective. The client wanted a promotional handout that was actually useful to their customer. We had looked at the pricing from the leading U.S. slide chart supplier. I felt I could do much better for both design and production. When completed, the project cost about one-half what it would have from that supplier. The positioning of the data on the slide given the multiple windows on the case in which the data shows through is very tricky. I can see why the "other guy" charges so much... sort of.

I created this o-wrap to slip over the retail box for the telephone headset product. The dimensioning was a bit tricky because you have to take the thickness and bend radius of the card stock itself into consideration. Came out well if I do say so myself.
