Business cards arrive!

So excited to finally receive a set of the business cards I designed for a client in Denver, CO. I've known the owner of the company forever, and when it came time to do their new designs, he gave me a call after seeing my work. They actually choose to use all three versions, my favorite being the front and center. Hopefully, I'll receive the other business cards that I created for a client in Concord, CA soon.

I was reminded of my old band today. And though, this isn't exactly design related, I did design the new cover for our digital release on iTunes. You can check it out at: http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/beaters-one-stars-1993-1994/id463542176. We have a bunch of other CDs there as well.

Spent a couple hours today practicing material renderings in Photoshop. I'm calling this the Sony Ericsson MC1 cell phone. Among the many other features I'm sure it would have, this particular phone can also be used as a three button mouse. The surface glass can be depressed at the bottom corners and center, where the slight, embossed circle in the glass in positioned. How would is work ergonomically? Not sure, but that's a good reason to make a 3D model and order a 3D print over the next week. Stay tuned for a Flash demo of the features and maybe some other screen caps. And, don't forget to check out a Farmer's Market tomorrow, as it's Sunday. Cheers!

iPhone 5G case...

Took the graphic from the bike pump and tweaked it a little for an iPhone case. This case is for the future 5G, assuming it's the same overall shape as the 4GS. =) Working on a couple other versions as well.

Happy Wednesday!

First post...

With my first post on my blog, I decided to put up a couple of my portfolio images to get things rolling. These are some sketches and my professional graphic design work. Why these? Well, I'm hoping to use the blog as a place to post current work and I'd like that to include lots of sketching and thus I'm putting the sketches up. As for the professional work, since I'm doing a contract job for Specialized, it seemed appropriate to put up my old work. That's my story and I'm sticking with it.

Cheers,
