ASU Tee

I just recently finished a design for a t-shirt that will hopefully be used at ASU's 2010 homecoming event. Utrecht, the store that I work for, will have a booth there and we wanted to have a t-shirt to give to students that stop by our booth. So my manager asked me if I could come up with something for it. The idea came to me pretty quickly and I wanted it to keep it simple and fun. I'm hoping we'll be able to use it, but if not, then at least I had another reason to create something.

PIXELDRUNK[s]

It's been a while since I've posted anything here. That is mainly due to my lack of design gigs, but I have turned that around in a way. I've been working on a new blog and webcomic with a friend. It's something we planned on doing for a while. Our main focus is to add our opinions to many topics going on with today's technology including video games, film, electronics, etc. If it's an electronic device or can be watched/played on one, then we want to talk about it. I designed all the custom graphics that you will see on there. It's been a tough project since I am not experienced with PHP, HTML, or CSS. The site isn't completely ready yet, but I'm determined to have it ready for the masses very soon. Check it out at pixeldrunks.com.

Alternate Design

Just wanted to post one of my favorite designs which actually wasn't chosen by the client, but I still like it anyway. I mainly like it because it's really simple in its overall look and it kind of gives off the feeling of a retro graphic.

First Design Jobs

Here are my first couple of designing jobs that I've done. I know I still have a ways to go before I reach the next level, but I'm pretty happy with the results so far.

My first job was for a client who needed a new business card and logo that involved a slightly injured butterfly to match her tag line that she already had in mind, " Rise above your limitations".

The next job I was offered to do was for a real estate e-commerce newsletter. I was told they wanted something very simple that used the title of the newsletter and a particular shade of blue which was already used in the newsletter.

My latest job involved a t-shirt design for a big event and fund raiser for the Arizona Regional NA. It was their annual sports day, and the main event was the regional volleyball tournament. The t-shirt was offered in both black and white shirts. I was told that they sold very well.
