My Favorite

There is this French Designer named Fabien Barral who is my favorite print designer of all time. All of the texture and color he uses in his different pieces is just amazing. I emailed back and forth with him a few times and even ended up buying a book and some other things from his site. He just opened this awesome store called Harmonie-Interieure where he sells awesome things like wall stickers and pretty much anything you need in your house. You should check out the amazingness. The images I posted below aren't my favorite ever, but I just grabbed some off his site to put on here.

Amazing Blog

http://photoshopdisasters.blogspot.com/
You should all check out this photoshop blog. Some of the stuff that people point out in these finished products are crazy.

Film Title's

There is this cool website http://www.submarinechannel.com/titlesequences/
that has a bunch of film title sequences on it. Check it out.

Crazy Drawing Skills

These people are pretty crazy with all these curls and what not. Its about all they do but its pretty cool.

Jesse Kaczmarek

This guy over here is awesome. I love the colors they use, although I really hate their site. That neon blue on the black sony stuff pops soooo much.

Amazing Design/Letterpress

Check out these people here for some amazing work. They have a ton of their prints on sale and the best part is that almost all of them are 20 bucks. I'm definitely bookmarking this in the "once i get some money" folder. The first pic i posted is a poster, not a book cover, and it is sick.

Final Book

This is what the final redo looks like.

Jarhead Back Cover

This is what the back cover ended up looking like. Its not the exact same color scheme as the front, which is more black/white, but I like the different colors that came out of this one.

Updated Cover

I think I fixed the problem of the type at the bottom. I just took a spray brush and put it at 20% opacity and hit up some of the areas behind the text where it was too light to read. I think that should take care of the problem.I've got the back planned out in my head, I'm going to go ahead and try to knock it out tonight while the wheels are going.

Jarhead Update

This is the redo of the cover I worked on today. I like everything except the placement of the sentence at the bottom center. I haven't quite figured out how I am going to fit it in. I don't want to put it at the top (I tried and didn't like it). So if you have any suggestions on placement for that, I'd love to hear them.

Skin Background

These are 3 backgrounds I have been working on for my dexter/monologue video. I wanted it to resemble skin. They are pretty large files (11x17) so if you view them zoomed in, it looks pretty gross. I had to knock out some of the quality so I could reduce the file size to post them online. I know I would never want to meet someone that had skin that looked like this. I'm probably going to put a layer between the type and the background to blur the background some. That way the main focus will be on the type and ink instead of the detail in the background.

Batman Promotional Package

These were sent out to a whole bunch of people to promote the new movie. I would have loved to be one of them.

Amazing Music

You should go to http://blogginsince78.blogspot.com/ and check out the different music mixes this guy has put together. If you look at the bottom of his first holiday mix and click on Music next to Labels it will pull up all his posts dealing with music. I am not a fan of mixes, in fact I only had 1 on my ipod (Garden State) but I would rank these mixes up there if not better than Garden State. Plus I love looking at my download status and have 100+ amazing songs download. So download them, you wont be disappointed, I promise.

A gift from me to you

New Batman Poster

Check out this sweet batman poster from the new movie coming out next year.

Tom Greaedts Reel

I have never seen a reel quite like this one. His reel is a merge of a commercial and an actual reel. Some of his effects in the beginning ("laying in bed") are really smart. Overall its just a brilliant way to put a reel together.

Christmas Video

Some of us talked about this video earlier today. I found it, watched it, and love it. So now here it is for your enjoyment.

Jack

Sometimes when I leave my room and come back I have a hard time getting to my desk.

New Comps

These are some new comps I have been working on. I really like having the product line up in the ads. All that is pretty much left is to knock out what the type will say, I've started it but its just not finished, and tweak where the Haggar logo and website sit between the text. I also changed the color of the zipper teeth to match what they really look like instead of the gray I had originally (although Im still not 100% on that shade of brass/gold). I also have to reword the buttons type in regards to the polo line so it matches the other 2 and misspelling. Let me know what you think.

New Option

This is one other idea I had so that way Haggar could feature their products in the actual ad. I could apply this to each of the other 2 ads (switching out ones for pants and something else). I could also switch out "The new like of haggar shirts" for something like "Introducing the New Stay Crisp shirt line from Haggar". Let me know what you think.
