My Dolphin Trainer design has become a hot seller this summer. It is available on t-shirts, caps, bags, buttons and a whole lot more. Please visit my Scarlet Dolphin Designs (scarletdolphin) store on CafePress to see all of the fun stuff you can get with my Dolphin Trainer design.

AVAC Swim School 2008 T-Shirts

Scarlet Dolphin Media has had a great partnership with AVAC Swim School for several years. I, JJ Barber, have been creating their annual t-shirt design for the last 7 years. This year the shirt featured the cute sea creatures I created for AVAC swimming around their Little Boy logo. Each swimmer gets one of the shirts at the beginning their first session that calendar year. The kids love the shirts. I see people wearing them wherever I go—Costco, Target, Happy Hollow Park & Zoo, etc.

AVAC Swim School Advertising

For several years now I have been doing graphic design for AVAC Swim School. I do their annual t-shirts, quarterly schedule of classes, registration information, and advertising. The main place AVAC Swim School advertises is in Bay Area Parent Magazine. I do a full page, full color ad for them every month. This is the one that appeared in May's Bay Area Parent. I went with an Olympic theme because of the upcoming summer olympics. With most of my clients, I don't come up with the advertising taglines or wording. AVAC gives me a little more leeway. I came up with, "We’re ready for fun and summer games… begin your quest for the gold at AVAC.”

Spring Fling Frisbees

I had a great idea to have frisbees as the giveaway instead of t-shirts at the Don Callejon School Spring Fling. (Get it... fling... frisbee?!) I worked with Marshall at Century Graphics in Sunnyvale to create these frisbees for Don Callejon School's Spring Fling event. I got the logos of the sponsors from various sources and put them together in the circle design. I handed that over to Marshall who got it printed on these great orange (the school's color) frisbees.

Don Callejon School Staff Shirts and Hats

Don Callejon School needed a design to be embroidered on polo shirts and baseball caps. It needed to utilize the existing “tri-paw” logo but in a more sophisticated design for the staff rather than the students. The staff was very pleased with what I came up with. They all enjoy wearing their staff shirts and hats.

Sutter Elementary 5th Grade Grads

I designed t-shirts for the Sutter Elementary School students who were graduating from 5th grade to Middle School. Keeping with Sutter's frog theme, these shirts featured 3 frogs playing instruments and standing on "Schoolhouse Rock" type letters. The kids loved them!
