My Interests



I have been designing artwork for different companies and individuals for about 15 years. My portfolio consists of all types of aspects of the Graphics field, such as:

LOGOS (for all types of individuals and companies)

WEB GRAPHICS (anything for a webpage, such as customized art and banners)

T-Shirt designs for Screenprinting companies

TRAPPING, COLOR SEPARATIONS (I have worked in Print Shops for about 10 years, and doing artwork for a press is a whole lot different than setting up for computer art. The art for a press has to be seperated in its colors. In other words, you have to have black art printed out for each color that will be used on the press. If two or more colors are touching each other, you need to trap them. Ever seen a newspaper or comic book where the color goes out of the lines? Looks horrible, right? Well, that's why you have to "Trap" the colors, so there will be a close registration when the press prints the colors.)

NEWSLETTERS & BULLETINS

SIGNS (for inside and outdoors; I have even done several billboards)

BROCHURES (both double and tri-fold)

STATIONERY (Business Card designs, Letterhead, Envelope)

ADVERTISEMENTS (I have done advertisements that have appeared in national magazines and newsletters)

CATALOGS

PROGRAMS (wedding and social)

HAND DRAWINGS (face it, some times it is better just to draw what you are needing. A lot, if not most, of my LOGO designs have been first hand-drawn, scanned, then enhanced in Photoshop.)

WRITING, EDITING (For about 15 years, I have been pounding both on keyboard, and by hand, written material that has yeilded Novels, Short-Stories, fiction and non, even Resumes for certain of my customers!!) For my .. Writing portfolio, CLICK HERE . Or go to: www.swashbucklingpress.com/tedanthonyroberts.htm

Presented below are some examples that I have worked on throughout my years; just click on any of the following pictures to be taken to my .. studio (I will add more of my art samples in the near future):

(THANKS FOR VISITING MY HUMBLE SHOP)

First of all, for all the authors out there, or potential authors, I design unique Book covers and "Collages."

JUST WHAT IS A COLLAGE?? A collage can enchance any project you are doing (whether you are a writer, an artist, a musician, a sales representative of a company, or just an individual). A collage can frame your logo or personalized artwork by other similar themed pictures or art. These are some examples:

These here represent the greatest Christian Heavy Metal Band in the world!! Check them out at www.saintsite.com

Above is a good example of a "Book Collage." Also notice the candle that is accompanying the book theme. These candles were designed by Studio 3B Candle Company. I have gone in with Studio 3B on this unique idea, that works like this: the author writes the book, I design the cover, Studio 3B designs a candle that fits the theme, then I again design the Collage that fits around the candle and the book cover.

Of course, this works with not only authors, but others of different interests as well.

Now, here are some samples of Book Covers I have done:

Not only can Books be in Collages, but so can Logos as well. Logos can tell the world who you really are by a quick and simple veiw that tells a lot:

And here are some company logos that were designed by me, from both computer and hand-drawn designs. Not only can companies have logos, but so can any person for any reason: Bands; authors; individuals (Remember, these images are copyright by their respectful buyers):

Here are some Hand-Drawing that I have done:

I will be adding more samples in the near future. These samples that you have seen does not even cover an eighth of what I have done over the past ten to fifteen years!!

I'd like to meet:

Well, there are many types of personages that I'd like to meet, including: fellow writers, fellow artists, fellow humans, fellow Christians, fellow Swashbuckling fans, and fellow fellows!!

ALSO, I'D LIKE TO ADD THAT I WOULD LIKE TO KEEP A FAMILY ORIENTED PAGE, SO PLEASE KEEP YOUR COMMENTS AND PICTURES, THAT YOU ADD ONTO COMMENTS, ON THAT LEVEL: NICE AND CLEAN. I APPRECIATE YOUR UNDERSTANDING.
