Ageless Fitness – logo, identity design

shawnbrookwilliams — Sat, 04 May 2013 22:43:11 +0000

Ageless Fitness is a gym in Colorado (809 Park Street, Castle Rock, Colorado 80109) that asked for a logo and brand identity. This brand is strong. Ageless meaning both that the business has a lot of experience and it has been around a while, but also that it was a gym that any age and any gender should be comfortable walking into. I am showing here the logo I designed; as well as the business card, their Facebook cover and avatar, and their signage. Many of the design elements are based on dumbbells and free weights.

Upcoming project – Hunting and fishing stories – sketch

shawnbrookwilliams — Thu, 14 Mar 2013 09:15:01 +0000

I’ve gradually been working on a great project with my dad collecting his many hunting and fishing stories. I’m doing several spot illustrations for a book we’re putting together; reading, sketching, editing, and layout. He’s had a lot of great input from various editors (Kristin Beebe, Bob Witczak, Ginger Landers, Kathy Williams etc.) and I’m really excited to see where this goes. Here is an unfinished sketch that may go with one of the stories — and DO NOT hold a real gun this way!

There will be more on this project in the future.

Antique Review magazine – cover design – typography

shawnbrookwilliams — Thu, 05 Jul 2012 23:19:44 +0000

I recently uncovered these newsprint magazine covers that I designed for Krause Publications in 2003 and 2004. I was pleasantly surprised with my use of typograpy in the blocks of type. (I hope it doesn’t sound too egotistical pointing out my own work so positively?) I just found that I liked the look of parts of these covers from several years ago and I had almost forgotten about them.
