Walking Tank Unit M27
Finally I’ve finished the Munny Project I started all of those days ago. At first I went into this very excited and interested. I was bursting with ideas and color schemes and things of that nature. I was about to work with a new medium (Super Sculpy) and creating something 3D with tools I haven’t used in this manner before. Needless to say, it was some what of an adventure working...

15 Awful Mistakes Made by Designers in the Music &... →
Though these are things I hear from professors often, or already feel/know, it never hurts to share information. It is an interesting insight into things designers often forget about, ignore or don’t know. This is one I am careful to mind:
For obvious reasons not all of these points are to be taken to heart, a lot of designing comes from intuition and that gut feeling that you love what...
new project: Munny
I’ve taken it upon myself to invest into a new outlet for creativity. They are called Munny.
They have been around for a short time now as a DIY toy where it comes with one accessory, the Munny, a marker and a sticker. Created by Kidrobot (started in 2002) they have created a subculture around them filling up message boards with all of the customizations that people have made. Some of...

Another abandoned house
I’m starting to realize I either have a knack for finding really creepy places or there is a plethora of dead/dying/near death structures in this section of the state. Once again on another photography adventure, I stumbled into the strangest of locations. I happened to decided to go down a road that I did not know existed that curves along the back of one of the larger apartment complexes...

Walmart's New Logo
As many people have noticed, the super massive discount chain Wal Mart has changed their logo/website/image. Losing the star that hyphenated the two words, they seem to be taking on a new more, dare I say “youthful”, appearance.
Walmart hasn’t actually done anything to change their logo (other than make the hyphen a star in 1991) since the early 80’s. After 19 years of...
50 Awesome Logos →
On the other hand, other than Walmart’s logo change, here is a collection of really excellent modern logos to use as fuel for inspiration. Just thought I’d share a few of them because I really liked the simplicity and colors they used. I figure if I am going to be commenting poorly on Walmart’s disappointing choice, I should at least show some other logos that have what it...

Hooked on Tonics - Part 2
We aren’t completely done with the project yet. This part though, is complete and I wanted to share it. Jes took over the design end of this project using an interesting technique that we discovered. My job was the type treatment. We used Photoshop, Illustrator and inDesign for the whole thing and Gotham as our typeface. The next step, which we are going to be doing soon is making them...
changes and updates
I updated the tumblr theme today and had to do some changes within the theme that I downloaded from one of the free tumblr theme websites. (this guy made it: http://www.sid05.com/) Eventually I’ll take the time to create my own, I’ve just been busy with other things, and haven’t taken the time to personally investigate how to, or what I want to do yet. The time will come.
