CHRIS MADE ME A CASTLE

Hey look!! chris loope from Yellowidesign made me a castle. haha. no he didnt actually. its a procedure that will be used for a video coming up at cornerstone. amazing technique. you can view his commentary on the link above. 

AMAZING inspiration: design & art

this guy is amazing. DAMIEN CORRELL. he has done some designs for Urban Outfitters, layouts and stuff. Great work. I stop by his website from time to time because he always has new stuff up. i love his childlike feel in his work, mixed with very artistic urban scribbles and color choices. this guy is worth the book mark. here is his link:damiencorrell.com

IPHOTO PRINT PRODUCTS ROCK

THE NEW SCRAPBOOKING ROCKS!!! The apple photo books are amazing. They are so simple yet so sleek. Apple seriously knows whats up. I was extreamly impressed to receive this in the mail, as a little gift i made for brian. You can design your own look and feel by just dropping your photos into a template. You get to design the template though. ITS SOO easy. and the sleek clear bag just puts the cherry on top. I am really into clear bags right now. I want everything to have a clear bag. haha. here are a few clips from the photobook. i made the 6×8 soft cover. you should make one. $12 bucks.

DESIGN PORTFOLIO IDEAS: photographers & designers

i love living in AZ because the sun comes through the window everyday. even in the morning. I love the sun. and I love colored jeans.
I came across this book awhile ago, but I love it soo much and everytime I need inspiration, even if its not for a portfolio idea i get inspired and I usually find the most perfect ideas for whatever I am working on in this book. Its super cheap on Amazon.com. Every creative professional in photography or design needs to have it. Its called BUILDING DESIGN PORTFOLIOS by Sara Eisenman. it has awesome stuff for book designs, cards, boxes and packaging. and it shows great examples of great work too. here are a couple page examples.

FLOOD: the desert: CREATIVE CHAOS

HEY TODAY!! I am working on a campaign called Flood the desert. the logo is in the works, but this is the one they have picked to go forward with. what do you think?? here it is applied to something. This isnt really anything… but it is a collection of elements that could be used and applied to different media. I dont really have much content to work with yet.. so you may be wondering… but what is it?? hhaa. hopefully you get the vibe though. we are in the arizona desert, so that pastor either wanted us to focus on the water in the flood, or the desert being taken over by the flood. I wanted the idea of flooding the desert to be more abstract and push the idea further….. but normal poeple wanted to see it literally depicted. the feel needs to have energy. any thoughts?

IS THIS LIKE YOUR DAY AT WORK?? haha

Hey!! Today is just another day. But lately i have been putting in 4, 10 hour days and getting FRIDAY OFF!! woohoo. it all becomes worth in on Friday, saturday and sunday. But the days are long very long. And when days are long… silly things start to happen. Here is a little silly tour around my desk and fellow designies. We are stupid. My desk always has a PILE of magazines and design books on it because i do not have a shelf. I need a shelf. can someone get me a shelf?? haha. sorry that my desk is messy. at least you know i am working, right?? The guy on the screen is MIKE MINTER… some football guy that i do not know. haha. Leave a comment and let me know whatcha think. Its kind of a cave, huh?? Chris and Josh are awesome. Is this like YOUR office?? haha.
