Alexandra Laine - Visual Communications Designer

I've been entering a lot of design contests on 99designs lately.

Recently I had the opportunity to help a student run start up called The Chicago Vibe at DePaul University, in Chicago, Illinois.

The Chicago Vibe is a web series that connects DePaul University musicians to the Chicago music scene. Having worked as a promoter in my own local music scene, I was ecstatic to have the chance to help out someone else's, even with something as simple as a flyer.

What started out as a simple flyer design, turned into the creation of a logo for the student run business. At first I recreated a logo based on a sketch given to me by my client - but then I remembered something. I had a great logo I completed last year that never got used, as that client never paid me for my work. So, I altered the existing files I had to give them a second option, which they wound up using!

Thank you to Kailah Peters over at The Chicago Vibe for working with me, and shout out to Samm Newman for providing the platform that gave me this opportunity!
