Breathing New Life

I was recently asked by a client to breath life into a logo their company had been using.  
The original logo(above) was simple and professional. My job would have to be to keep true to the original design while throwing in my own style.

I worked out about nine drafts and after a few revisions the Spectrum Associates redesigned logo had arrived.  I added just a bit of color in the 'Spectrum' to help tie it in to the graphic in the background.  I believe the name stands out well and still keeps a professional look.

Johnny Cash was my soundtrack through most of this redesign.

Darn Space Pandas

Rome Promotions recently approached me with a design idea using bright colors and their 'Party Panda' for a flyer used to distributed at night outside of shows.

After some preliminary sketches I brought my ideas into Illustrator and began working.  Soon the basic idea was complete.  I began working on the color and type in Photoshop with a sort of overlay print effect in the panda body. What came of it is a bright flyer you can't miss anywhere.  

I printed it out and this flyer is perfect for distribution at night.  Party on Panda.

Currently listening while designing: Cults, Incubus and Amy Winehouse (good bye to you but your voice will carry you through the ages).

Dance Party

Just finished Los Angeles based band Lysolgang's album cover and cd layout.  Band originally brought the image in the center in and wanted a retro vibe.  After some work with the image and a few concepts their album cover was born!

Playlist while designing included Atmosphere, The Clash and The Black Keys.

Ignite.

Had the pleasure of working with hardcore band Ignite for their European tour.  

Currently listening to Black Rebel Motorcycle Club and Cut Copy for inspiration.

All The World Is Mad.

Just finished up this project with Mad Money Entertainment.

They came to me asking for a vault with the 'MM' and '$' emblems.

Started with illustrating it on paper and brought it into Illustrator.  After working some magic moved it in to Photoshop and finished it off.  

Currently listening to: Atmosphere and Stromae.
