Border Binational Health Week

The Red Ribbon Rally during Border Binational Health Week was a big event that was put on during work. I ended up creating a lot of material and here's some examples of that work.

Logos to be used on promotional materials, posters, newspaper advertisements, fliers that were sent to dignitaries and ads to be stuffed in water bills. All of this material was done in both English and in Spanish.

I was asked to help organize the parade at the beginning of the event. My official title was "Parade Master" and I got to use a bullhorn. Get in line people! Here is the map I created for the parade route.

I created a schedule of events


One of the ideas for the Red Ribbon Rally was a Drug Free Pledge Card. These cards were signed by kids pledging themselves to be drug free. They were then attached to red balloons and released into the air.


This is where the red balloons and pledge cards were distributed. In addition to the cards and balloons, people were given posters on teen drinking. I ended up doing this poster in both English and Spanish.

Bored Doodlings at Work

I was put on hold at work today for a while. So I drew a picture of Aquaman. They picked up before I could finish that giant squid tentacle to the right there.

Also, as a side note, spell check does not recognize the word "Aquaman".
Someone should get on that right away.

what I do at work

Lots of people have been asking me about what I've been doing at work and if they can see some of my projects. I've posted some of the pieces I've done on my online portfolio but I thought I would use this space to show some work in progress or photos of my work at the events they were made for.

I work for the New Mexico Office of Border Health which is a division of the New Mexico Dept of Health's Public Health Division. Basically what that means is I do a lot of graphic design and web work for health promotion events.

One such event is the Families & Youth Inc Back to School Rally. I was asked to create a full color poster for this event and this was the original version of the poster I made. The final version is posted here. The finished posters were double sided with English on the front and the Spanish version on the back.


Another one of my job responsibilities is to create, redesign and touch up the web pages that exist under the sphere of Border Health. My main responsibility is to the actual Office of Border Health website which is yet to be brought into existence, but I'm frequently asked to help out with the Region 5 websites. Region 5 is a district along the Mexico/New Mexico border. This is an image featuring the new intranet page I designed for them.

I'll probably be posting more content showing the Office of Border Health homepage when it comes closer to being finalized.

Eggo Burger!

Now that I'm living alone, lots of people have been joking around with me because they assume I can't cook. I can. ...but sometimes it's fun to eat food no one else would normally eat... Like this plate I made today. A friend of mine named Jay Newman came up with this hamburger idea at a tailgate. It's basically two waffles (blueberry in this case) with a hamburger patty inside of it. I added some lettuce, tomatoes and peppers to be healthy. Gotta have your fiber you know.
