Whiteboard

Social Identifiers and social design trends are a big part of what I do, these are already finding their way into my blog and will have a place here in the coming future.

A pulse on design trends, usability/design/graphic quotes, amazing photography, and links to keep everyone busy, plus a few songs that are currently stuck on repeat.

This is getting to be a bit Apple focused and iPhone crazy. If you can't tell I love tech gadgets and the iPhone is my gadget of choice. I will be building an Apple gadget specific website soon so this area will be free'd up for more design related topics.

Sweet! I love the thin type and the magical space that is created. Nice Work!

This should be the symbol for my secret project. I’ll be designing the next phase of the internet. It might seem like a bullshit thing to say, but if you knew what I did for a living you might think its possible. If you were one of my clients, you would be getting one of the most advanced online experiences possible.

I love crafting the future of the connected experience.

Recently did some work on a great looking website, BMC.com. They have a pretty sophisticated color, gradient, icon and photography style.

Their design team has done a great job creating the best tech look. 

I really like the cloud icons. They are collaged and layered it a point where they have become a hybrid icon/image that has so much visual value, it truly communicates more than a standard icon.

The colors & collage is perfect for a computer/technology company.

Nice Type. Great detail and shading.

Nice Concept for Jack Daniel’s Whiskey. I like the steam punk aspect of the whole thing. It still looks like it’s only 80% complete because of the matte textures and the coloring. But an amazing effort so far.

Love this look. It’s the opposite of the way you would really want to do the graphical technique, but it looks cool either way. You see it’s more about the placement of the figures and how the eyes lineup that makes this really cool. They knocked out the overlayed figure and therefore removed the uniqueness of the technique.

Pretty nice photoshop exercise. Looks like something one of my past students would have done. The reason why I call this an exercise is there is no apparent meaning to the whole thing except the photoshop execution.

Very nice blending of ground and space. Reminds me of NYC. I need to get back.

Really well done. This image is crazy. I would say three different animals, possibly more.

I probably posted this already, but this is soooo sweet. I would love to get into more of this type of manipulation.

Are you a web developer? Chances are your not, if you were you would be reading you wordpress blog. Probably wearing a “My Blog is Better Then Your Blog” tee-shirt. (You know who you are!)

Compress the shit out of your images even more. I love it. I am so happy I found this. I build websites & concept review site every day. I will use this all the time. Watch for updates.
