These whimsical, digital doodles have become a joyful outlet of creative energy that allows me to "just create" with no preconceived notions of what I might do, or how it might come out. Purely an exercise in fun...I call it wind down time. After a day of creating art for customers, it's nice to make something just for me. ©carolynjohnsondesign all rights reserved.

In my photography I often explore the small, the otherwise unnoticed, focusing in with my macro lens on many occasions - getting close to my subject. There are some wider vistas that also present themselves that are just too intriguing to resist, so they make there way in as well. ©carolynjohnsondesign all rights reserved.
Working with clientele such as Disney, Universal Studios, Coca-Cola, MGM Grand, The Beatles, Cirque Du Soleil, Caesars Entertainment, UFC and more, I approach each new design with the excitement of working on a blank canvas. I specialize in creating collections that merchandise well together, as well as developing new treatments and printing processes to always offer the customer something new.

Creating a client's logo is one of the most honored and important tasks that a designer will undertake. Developing that unique blend of the memorable, the timeless and the simplistic into something that will speak volumes to the customer about who and what the brand is all about, while at the same time being able to capture the vision of the brand's creator...challenging and rewarding.
Packaging is a natural extension of the logo and brand identity, with additional considerations of customer interaction, shelf life and visibility all coming into play.
