Vintage Style Photographs

So I've been seeing a few designers around the net using what looks like late 70s early 80s era vintage photos. I thought I would give it a shot. I think I have it figured out, but I had to keep it subtle because its for work. Now if I could only find a band to let me do their photo shoot like this I think I could really make them look unique.

Shiny Gone Wild!

So I've been working pretty hard on developing a new skill set, I think I went all kinds of crazy on "web 2.0" shiny/wet/3D on this bad boy. joy!

Glowy Artsy Style (kind of)

Sooooo today I thought I would continue with my ongoing exploration of different styles and went for a dance party glowing artsy flier style. I had to keep it kind of subtle because it is after all for work. I think I'd like to get into it a little more, maybe on a darker background, and maybe even explore adjusting it for a tee graphic.

My shot at collage style art

So most of the time I make pretty basic grpahics/layouts, today I attempted to do a collage type of graphic, not really sure how I feel about it yet. I most definitely think it could be better, maybe I'll play with it more tomorrow. Thoughts?

Just finished up with the VMPR myspace page, now it on to the website revamp (vamp, get it?). Any way I should be done with the news/blog sometime tomorrow and then I'll post that up on this bad boy too.

Slow Skateboarding Sign

I made this sign for our parking lot here at active, but its not so much the sign I'm excited about, as it is the gloss. I was just experimenting in photoshop trying to make this thing look shiny. eh? Thanks for sharing. Anyway, I think I might have figured it out, I'm working on the VMPR Myspace page and trying to make it really shiny too. I'll post that up tomorrow.

We Shot The Moon

I made this a couple of days ago for another promo over at active. The Militia Group provided all of the content and I put it where you see it. Pretty exciting I know. I'm listening to We Shot The Moon for the first time, not bad. Not really my thing, but they've definitely got talent.

Monkey around with Paul Frank

I'm really happy with this Paul Frank image, the fun thing about my job is I get to use a different style for almost everything. Just have to try to resemble the brand we're promoting. Oh yeah this is for active.

This is an image I made as part of the same project to help promote dress sales, I was going for sort of a t.v. show type of theme, does that make sense?

12th Annual Orange Open

I just finished (literally minutes ago) this mailer for the 12th Annual Orange Open presented by The Orange Art Association. Sure seems like I'm using a lot of orange lately. Anyway, this is an at show put on in the Guggenheim Gallery at Chapman University. I'll probably make my way down there to check it out.
