Sophia

I took this photo of my friend, Sophia, a long time ago in a friend's studio complex. I decided to use it as design exercise today. I love portrait style photos.

Six Words

This is something I threw together a while ago for Six Word Story Everyday. It looks as though they are no longer posting daily submissions, and they never posted mine even when they were, but I still like it. It was nothing fancy anyways.

I'll probably make more of these.

The Toxics

I want to be in a punk rock band. I already made our first single cover. 

Second Iteration

Just joshin'. 

I made up a band name etc. because I like to use text in designs. Picture, if one of my designs were a room, type & font would be the proverbial rug that really ties said room together. Without that "rug", something would just be missing, Dude.

Better Early Than Late

As stated in my previous post, a lot of the images I make go through a long process of changes before the final product. Sometimes they are minor changes. Sometimes they are major. This is an example of the latter.

For Maggie, from Jeff.

Update:

How fitting that I'd come up with yet another iteration. I'll stop after this, I promise;

Taste

This is just a post out of boredom. 

A lot of the time, when creating something, I make dozens of iterations of a piece just to more easily visualize the possibilities of an end product. Here are two early (read: far cry from final product) iterations of a piece I'm currently working on.

I'll be sure to come back eventually with the final product. These are essentially just proverbial thumbnail sketches of digital imaging. A byproduct of processing my way to a final composition.

Burial

I made this just for kicks while listening to this and other songs from that album. Minimal and dark. As with most things though, I put an even darker touch to it.

I couldn't choose which one I liked better. So I'll post them both.

Everybody 8

So I make this mix CD every winter and summer and hand them out to worthy music fanatics. Just kidding I give them out to basically anyone. If you want one let me know. I said I'd send a lot out in the mail to all you out-of-towners, but please remind me. Here is the cover & tracklist I designed for the latest one.

Solitary Winter

Hello, I'm back. This winter has been weird. 

My roommate, Tim Hohn, is an awesome photographer. He and I were picking and choosing some of his photos that I could use for a collaboration. We chose a lot of rock formations and I started playing around with them.

It evolved from this compilation of four photos:

Into this:

If someone were to release an album called "Solitude", it would be great if they contacted me. I know just the cover to use.
