one more design concept that fell on the floor, and through the cracks…. oh well.

a few conceptual illustrations just added to my galleries, intended for use in a national holiday campaign, now relegated to the cutting room floor, unfortunately. two sheets of stylised silhouettes, and one sheet showing how they might be used in a more finished design. enjoy.. it’s the only time and place you’ll get to see them!

emo no mo’
in case anyone hadn’t noticed, i’ve ditched the moody, gothic black and red design for something a bit more light-hearted, not to mention inspired; the previous design was pretty dull in my opinion. this time around, brighter tones everywhere, as well as some more organic elements give a more accurate representation of my personal design style and skill.
replacing the branching tree animation of the previous header are the row of navigational buttons just beneath the header, each with a small, subtle animation. it’s probably my favourite new element to the site, followed by the new image viewer. click almost any image from a post or gallery to have it neatly presented in a larger format, scaled to your window.
one disclaimer: the site is designed to work in all modern browsers, which contrary to some beliefs, does NOT include Internet Explorer 6. i have done my best to keep things reasonably designed and functional with IE6, but the truth is the program is old hat, and was never very good to begin with. it’s an anchor this boat isn’t interested in dragging anymore. so you can do your best to enjoy the site with IE6 minus the full experience and plus a few layout quirks, or you can do the internet a favour by joining the rest of 2008 and using Firefox or Safari.
it’s my hope that people enjoy it; if you experience any issues or just totally hate it, leave a comment. in the coming days, i’ll be refreshing/streamlining my portfolio images to be more concise and current. thanks for stopping by!

[singlepic=879,200,right]thought of the day: realising that it would be cheaper to run my auto on a gallon of milk than petrol and pondering the organics of it all, i sort of wish fuel efficiency were rated in dinosaurs per gallon. just how many brontosauruses are sloshing around in my tank?
just wanted to share one of the many pieces that fall through the cracks. it’s something i’ve sorted into the ‘rough sketches’ bin, and it certainly looks the part.
i wanted to do something with arrowheaded lines. as it turns out, i started with one continuous yellow line, then a single brown scribble for the mouth, and finally filled in the shapes with a smattering of dark scores. not the most incredible piece of art ever, but i like it, and hopefully this glimpse into my unpolished world is interesting to someone outside of it 😛

a peek at my new business cards
a shot of the front and back; showing a more inspired style that i’d ultimately like to roll out to this site. front side (with contact info) is high-gloss, reverse is matte and writable, with blank space to actually write 🙂

thought of the day: when nature calls, there’s no such thing as letting it go to voicemail.
just a note that i’ve updated my gallery/portfolio quicktour with some info and images.
