Working on a new personal site design. I decided against wordpress since it takes too long for me to go through and update all the templates to my wishes. One of the new things I’m trying is responsive design and CSS3. Try resizing the window…
New homepage (work in progress)
I finally decided to try my hand at the music album cover design challenge. The rules make it so that you get a random picture, band name and song title and then design a cover for such a selection. Ivan describes the exact rules in his post.
Here is my cover art for Pogonomys Championi, playing their hit single, “homework formerly eaten by the dog”. I liked the idea of pairing the light quirky background with the dark silhouette of a laughing dog. I tried to convey indie rock band with mayan flavor. The band logo is of course their champion mouse.
References: Pogonomys Chamioni is a tree mouse. The song title is a quote from Doug Larson, “Home computers are being called upon to perform many new functions, including the consumption of homework formerly eaten by the dog”. Original Photograph by ATLITW.
Here’s something I’m proud of: A card with 12 images on it. What does that make this? a dodecatic? whatever. Just a fun(?) exercise. I remember making things like this in school.
I should be asleep now but I was having too much fun sketching in photoshop… Just a reminder to everyone to have fun every now and then.
Saw the movie- I thought it was really good and decided to spend a bit of my free time sketching. Is it me or does iron man’s mask thing make it look like he’s frowning all the time?
A logo for a new project- kinda like my last Baseball field diagram. Apart from the color irregularities, I like this logo design I whipped up.
Add another to the list… A nice texture from different opacities and a gradient.
I’ve been trying to do some more sketches since I’ve gotten my tablet pc back. I wanted to do a loose, color intensive piece with no worrying about proportion and line quality.
In other news, I’ve been looking around for some sort of screen capture software that I can use to capture video to display website navigation examples. I’ve downloaded and tried “Wink” for windows, but am not really happy with the results. It’s a bit on the choppy side and I believe it’s meant for more narration over isolated screen caps.
