Steve Lovelace: Portfolio

My name is Steve Lovelace, and I am a graphic designer based out of Dallas, Texas. With more than a decade of graphic design experience, I am adept at both digital and print design, including web/social media graphics, emails, flyers, brochures, and signage. I am a detail-oriented artist with an eye for the big picture, using my creative skills to strategically craft an integrated message for any given audience. Take a look at my portfolio and see what you think.

The Corporate States of America Poster

I designed the Corporate States of America map for my blog back in 2012. It later went viral, getting featured in BuzzFeed, Mental Floss and the Huffington Post. Here is a poster design I made available for sale in 2013.

Playing Cards

Since 2017, I have collaborated in an community art project through AIGA DFW, in which we design a deck of playing cards, with each designer taking one card. Here are a few of my contributions.

Digital Art

Portraits

One of my favorite artistic techniques is to create digital portraits using just a few shades of gray, exaggerating highlights and shadows to create a bold screen-printed look.

Pixel Art

My art style is heavily influenced by old video games. I like making pixel art that communicates complex concepts with a small number of colors and blocks.
