Art by Andy J

  About Me  My name is Anderson J. Pridgen, a.k.a. Andy J, and I am a graphic designer and mixed media artist.  My art is mostly influenced by pop culture, fashion, and music.  As a graphic designer, it is my job to take a client’s vision and create an esthetically appealing message that specifically targets the client’s desired demographic.  As an artist, it is my job to express myself and to create my own vision.

The first two are the final drafts for the front of my business card and the last three are the final drafts for the back.  The fonts used are Britannic Bold, Agency FB and Royalty Savior.  The front of the cards are framed on the left side by one of my repeat patterns I made for textiles.  The first two drafts for the back of the cards are filled with the same pattern and my logo is centered in the middle.  For the third draft of the back side, I repeated my logo in a pattern.
