Whitfield Designs

Portfolio decorations kicking off the short week back to school. Some of my favorite student‑made portfolios.
Meanwhile, my head’s still in Cali and the summer.🥲🌴
I let them know as usually the teacher who’s cool, who’s got snacks…
But im not the one, nor the two!😤
Solid week. Appreciate you stopping by and checking out our work.

Submitted my Tuskegee Airmen artwork to Black Veterans Project for their
upcoming publication Dark Green Report.
Dark Green Report will showcase writers, visual artists, and photographers whose work explores the complex history of Black military service, themes of memory and repair and uplift the voices of Black service members, veterans, and military families.
Thanks for checking out my work!

The kid who used to rush home to watch Bob Ross teach now teaches kids.
Life’s a trip sometimes.
My board was ready with a few pieces for Meet Your Teacher Day today.
Teacher year three, finna go get this Master’s Degree.
Thanks for checking our work!

Black men are visionaries, builders, fathers, leaders. We are more than the narratives, we are the proof of resilience and brilliance.
Lately I’ve been seeing a lot of negative narratives spun on us on this here internet, since there’s an abundance of that, I can damn sure spread a little bit of
positivity.
Thanks for checking out my work!

Being a teacher gives me the chance to meet a lot of people, and sooner or later they find out what I really do outside the classroom.
These days my work is built on real relationships, not just digital connections.
One of those relationships turned into a project I’m proud of, creating a logo for a senior citizen travel brand.
The mark is a GPS orbiting the sun and the ocean.
A design that works just as well on a boarding pass as it does on a beach tote.
That’s the vibe I love, rooted in relationships and built to last.
Thanks for checking out my work.
Well Done Whitfield!

My wife bought a pretty cool desk, which means it’s like both ours and I’ll be busting out sketches on it when she’s not using it!😉🤫✏️
If you don’t have a Lite-Brite at your desk, you’re CLEARLY doing it wrong!
Thanks for checking out my work and my wife’s cool desk!

SLIPSPACE SUNDAYS. A photo edit by ya boy.
Two of the things I love most, besides my wife and kids are Halo and anything related to California!
Thanks for checking out my work!
Well done Whitfield!

Check out my interview with Bold Journey!🥳
Although I am very grateful for all of my interviews. I get the odd feeling they’re trying to sell me my own article by buying frames!😬
Either way, thank you!
Well done, Whitfield.
