James S. Cole Design & Illustration

DESIGN
Growing up I never thought I would enjoy packaging and label design. But there is nothing like the feeling of picking up your creation and seeing it come to life.
Here are a few samples of my design projects. On my design page, you will find an expanded overview of all of my favorites and a few projects highlighted in detail.

ILLUSTRATION
Growing up in the ’70s and ’80s had a lasting effect on me, especially artistically. The freedom of disco, the power cords of Black Sabbath, the magic of Star Wars, the wonder of the Tom Baker’s Dr. Who on PBS and my amazement while watching the Creature from the Black Lagoon in 3D.
On my illustration page, you will see plenty of classics recreated in silkscreen, vector, digital as well as in acrylic paintings.

BOARD GAME
I successfully created my own board game that reached its funding goal on Kickstarter within the first 24 hours. This project is the culmination of my diverse skill set, as I personally handled the design, layout, and illustration from start to finish. I also managed the Kickstarter campaign and social media marketing, which led to our swift success. Additionally, I sourced and collaborated with a manufacturer to ensure the game met my high standards and delivered the quality I would want as a player and a designer.
