Wallpaper
An example of wallpaper that can be made using images and repeating them in a pattern. Illustrator/Photoshop. I used the colors yellow and orange as a symbol to the Caution/Road Work road signs.
CMYK color separation (Francisco Contreras Topps)
This is an example of color separation in CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black). Together these colors when printed on top of each other (layered) can create a beautifully rich color image.

1959 Topps Francisco Contreras #573 (original, has since been updated)
I was inspired to create this baseball card because of my love for sports and baseball cards collecting, my love for design, and for my family. I created this card using Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop.
I used the original design of the 1959 Topps card based on it's design and year. I created the 'team' logo, name, used his real birth date, height, weight, etc and stories.
Below is an example of a real 1959 Topps baseball card, this one of Sandy Koufax

Papa Chico (Francisco Contreras)
Going along the same lines as my road signs, I created this image that I later turned into a multi-matrix lithograph. This is more of a portrait style image than the road signs, and has a retro look to it because of the older looking photo and orange background.

Papa Chico signs
These are road/street signs I created using an image of my grandpa, Papa Chico. He was a bracero when he first came to the United States from Mexico. He worked in the fields as many migrant workers did.
I became interested in road signs because of their combination of simplicity and strength. Road signs are designed to deliver clear and quick instructions/directions.
