K-9 Azul Sticker
Commissioned by my local Sheriff’s Office, I developed a set of child-friendly sticker designs for their new K-9. The collection includes four illustrations of Azul in both sitting and standing positions, emphasizing his friendly demeanor.
Objective
The primary objective was to design a set of stickers that humanized the K-9 unit and helped foster trust between young community members and law enforcement. The designs needed to be visually engaging, easy to recognize, and suitable for distribution at public events, school visits, and outreach programs.
Approach
Simplified forms and clean linework for clarity at small sticker sizes
Warm, approachable expressions to resonate with a younger audience
Balanced composition to ensure visual impact and readability
Adaptability for print production and various distribution formats
I developed a collection of four illustrations of Azul, showcasing both sitting and standing poses. Each design emphasized soft shapes, expressive features, and a welcoming posture to convey a sense of friendliness and safety. Special attention was given to maintaining consistency across the set while allowing each pose to feel dynamic and unique.

Outcome
The final sticker set successfully captured Azul’s friendly demeanor while aligning with the Sheriff’s Office’s community outreach goals. The designs provided an engaging tool for building positive interactions with children and strengthening community relationships through approachable visual storytelling.
