New Work July 10, 2009

admin — Sat, 11 Jul 2009 00:40:09 +0000

Here’s some new stuff I’ve been working on, some is still in progress some is finished:

This is the artwork for a brochure just completed for The Infusion Project. They are doing a bunch of Comic- Con afterparties, so we had to do a whole brochure just to cram in all of the info. I did an illustration for it since I don’t really have any presence at the Con this year, so at least some work of mine will be on 30,000 brochures all over the city next week.

A new design for the underground Refuge project and refuge Recordings–coming soon.

I did the flyer, tickets and created a quick website for the Magical Sunshine Festival. I’ll be djing there as well. This is a big San Diego event that is showcasing a lot of SD djs. Very cool.

Simple vector drawing for a new client

Another vector drawing for a series of t-shirts that may or may not happen. I just do the work, can’t make these people actually do something with it.

Since I’ve been a DJ for many years I do a lot of design and printing for clubs and other DJs. I recently finished a flyer and poster series for The Dragon Lounge. The front is for an upcoming show and the back lists all of the performers that have appeared for 11 years.

Estimating how much a project will cost and how long it will take is extremely important for your business. You can always just throw out any old price to a prospective client but if you’re not careful you could actually lose money completing the work. This article on Smashing Magazine is very thorough and will help anyone develop a better strategy and understanding of how to come up with effective estimates.

Why Your Portfolio Might Not Be Seen

Here’s a link to a great article about why your portfolio may not be even looked at–no matter how good it is. Creative people often forget that networking is so important, which means you’ve got to get out and meet people…

More Updated Work June 2009

admin — Sun, 07 Jun 2009 21:41:11 +0000

Here are some more samples of recent work. Don’t forget to check out the portfolios page to see more.

I just finished a website. The agency provided the layout and graphics. I was involved in coding (xhtml and css) and the production of all images for the web. I also designed the header (based on direction from the agency) and created a custom Wordpress child theme (based on the Thematic system) for the site’s blog.

In my portfolio you will see several package design projects for Istik. I found some photos of the actual product so this is a layout I created to show the design and photos of the actual product.

I finished some product illustrations for the Epiphany Marketing agency a few months back. They asked me to create concept sketches based on the product that show the development of the client’s product. They used them in imagery for the brochure and website.

More photos from the wonderful FeeLit store showing a sandwich board and window signage that I designed for them; of course Immedia Solutions did the printing and installation.

Another concept for the same project. I can’t tell you much more but I’ll post everything once all of the designs are finished.
