Posters commissioned by artists, musical groups, and event promoters.

The “Dinosaur Playbox” is perhaps the most ambitious Design project I’ve ever completed due to the varied nature of its creation. It involved Product Design, Package Design, and Physical Assembly all rolled into one massive project. I also had to design it to functionally disassemble, as well as to snugly fit two decks of cards and six dice.

The actual “Dinosaur” portion of the project was done partially in class, and the remainder of the Packaging Design was completed entirely in my free time.

I designed these graphics for two physical stand-up banners that were used for events attended by the Marketing Department of the Greater Denver Better Business Bureau.

Even though the banners were over six feet tall, it was still imperative to make the colors as bright as our branding guidelines would allow, and the text bold so they could be legible and attract attention from a distance.

This page features a couple very extreme examples of the many very illustrative projects I completed for TV Personality/Real Estate Mogul Pace Morby.

Pace likes to create excitement and intrigue with the most uniquely designed products across the web. In these cases, the alien in a space ship was one of Pace’s famous product “drops,” and the Gator Method comic strip was featured in a booklet for one of Pace’s many business ventures.

This collection holds about a third of the logos I made for TV Personality/Real Estate Mogul Pace Morby. Pace is always looking for side hustle projects and events for himself and his all of his friends in the real estate business. Some of these are similar, and others are very different because the logo needs to represent the unique goal of each brand.

My personal least favorite of the bunch is the Gator Method logo, but I feature it because it is the most prominently used across the web.

In 2014, I won a $500 cash contest hosted by the underwater exploratory group, UAE Dive Cartel.

I believe my victory in this contest - a win over 53 other Designers - can be attributed mostly to my willingness to communicate with the Contest Host to ensure that I understood the proper logo style with the use of emailed sketches, comparisons and color-scheme variations.

In July of 2020, I placed as the Runner in the prestigious Best Brand Awards design contest with my entry, the Business, Brews, and Bites Logo. This logo was designed as part of the identity of own of our outreach events.

I consider T-Shirt Designs to be one of the most passion driven aspects of my entire portfolio, as T-Shirt Design was what started my love for Graphic Design.

I have been designing T-Shirts for online contests, clients and friends for over ten years which has culminated in being featured as an artist TWICE - in 2017 and 2019 - on Teepublic.com’s online ads, social media posts, and E-Blasts.

If nothing else, I will always continue to come up with ideas to put on T-Shirts - in my free time, if need be - for the remainder of my Graphic Design career.

This layout project was done while I was attending college. The goal of the project was to successfully emulate the style of the cover and an interior article of a magazine selected at random.

The original photograph of the runner Dean Karnazes is featured to show the minor adjustments that were taken to make his form stand out on the cover.

The interview was written by myslef who - at the time of the creation of this project - had some kind of a sense of humor.

The Business Collateral for the fictional radio staion, WMWD Bump 93.3, was done as a class project during my sophomore year of college. The radio station plays electronic music, so the design had to be as big and bold as the musical genre itself.

The T-Shirt for WMWD Bump 93.3 stands as the highlight for this project because of its strategic intent. Usually, radio station give away T-Shirts featuring only a prominent logo of the station. This strategy is good for advertising, but only in short term since the amount of times the T-Shirt is worn is usually limited. While Bump's T-Shirt features the logo less prominently, the psychedelic illustration not only caters to the style of Electronic music listeners while increasing the amount of wears, but also draws the attention of potential viewers who, theoretically, will also notice the logo.

This collection of posters was designed under a short time frame, with a color scheme and simplicity in mind for pacing. The final pieces were used as a smaller part of a display designed to promote clean energy, as well as create a level of awareness of how it has been repressed.

All content was found online and all paragraphs were written by myself using online sources. The titles and subtitles for each poster are intended to pique the viewers' curiosity into reading the brief, but thorough paragraphs on the repression of alternative energy.

Both of these featured posters were entered in a contest during my time at Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne. The poster for "Stupid F*@%ing Bird" was declared the victor and consequently used in the University's production of the play.

This series of three Exxon Mobil logos was created as a class project in which the goal was to focus on a single respective demographic for each logo.

The demographics targeted were made intentionally subtle in order to reach a potentially wider target audience.

The first logo remake was intended for women between the ages of 45-55, which is expressed through the use of Maroon, a slightly feminine color. Stroked lettering and aesthetic flow was meant to reflect the refinement and grace of a woman at this age.

The second logo was intended for boys aged 0-5, which is noticeable due to the roundness of the 'EM' initials, which reflects a mildly plush-like safety. This logo was inspired to appear almost like a logo for a toy, but not far enough to scare away older demographics.

The third logo was intended for males aged 20-25. This is faintly evident through the use of large, high contrast lettering and the color orange, both of which can project adrenaline and excitement.

The original logo for Exxon Mobil was included as a reference point to show the amount of creative liberties that can be taken while retaining the believable qualities of an oil company. 

Side note: I did not design the original logo for Exxon Mobil.

"Golden Morning" is a fictional brand of organic Chinese coffee created  for a class project in my final semester of college. The goal of this project was to create a Design for a product that was heavily influenced by Eastern culture, yet made palatable and intriguing to Western consumers.

The secondary goal of "Golden Morning's" packaging design was to aesthetically set itself apart from other coffee package designs that would theoretically sit on the same shelf, but retain a style that still reads as organic coffee beans.

A rooster in front of a shining sun was used as a logo to symbolize both coffee's waking effect and it's suggested time of use. The logo is done in a vintage, brush-stroked Chinese style.

My Graphic Design begins with hmy own personal Business Identity. The logo is a clean and pronounced set of white “mw” initials fluidly connected to express versatility even in its simplest forms. The “mw” initials are in white, making them the most initially noticeable part of the logo and therefore the most crucial, as a reminder of the human presence behind the design.

The “mw” initials are cast over Lithium atom, which visually expresses three metaphors simultaneously. The first is the that the lithium atom, the most recognizable form of an atom, reflects the promise of the post-World War II “Atomic Age,” in which the entire Nation was rapt with it’s own expansive potential. This also includes a Marketing-powered precursor to the Atomic Age: The propaganda posters and early Graphic Designers who helped lift the United States into the rare air of unity for a noble cause.

The second internal metaphor is that lithium as a chemical element is often prescribed as a mood stabilizer, which cryptically insinuates how the design of Mitchell Wyss is intended not to bully or pressure, but to create a comforting effect that rises above both the hectic and the mundane clutter of Visual Communication.

The third portion of the logo’s imagery with greater implications are the colors of the electrons inside of the lithium atom. They are colored in Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow to refer to the CMYK(Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black) printing process with which all physical entities of design are produced. This allusion is intended to express that as an obsessive Specialty Graphic Designer, I care about high quality execution in every phase of the Design process.

The color scheme and overall identity of the brand are extended in both font and color to each of this collection’s printed pieces.

This is a small collection of experimental illustrations that - in their finished form - serve no purpose. They are instead used as test subjects for projects with greater purposes.

This collection features a few self-portraits in the form of composites. Two were done as class projects, while the composite for "The Beginner's Guide to Managing your Online Reputation" is actively being used as a digital booklet for Dealer Power Network founder Robbie Reynolds.

All three utilize high contrast and a bit of clean humor to attract the attention of the viewer. They also express my idea that advertisements or covers should be rewarding to the viewer as opposed to annoying.
