Skyboxes of yore

I miss doing skyboxes.

Of course, when I HAD to do them, they were the bain of my existence. Not because I didn't enjoy them, but because I never had enough time to make them truly cool. And when I did create the time, the rest of my page suffered.

That might be why I made this page to start with: to keep all the good stuff in one place. And to preserve the times I was able to make that 2-inch strip truly mine.

Sketch Logos

I helped with the concept of these lists, so I volunteered to do the illustrations to help them pop.

The pictures were pretty simple — doodles really. Nevertheless, I was pretty proud of my first published drawings (look, Mom!), especially given that most of them came together a few hours before publication.

More fun with type

This was a web logo I threw together for one of our reviewer blogs. I came across the treble clef that was the color you see now, and while I was trying to figure out what color I might change it to, it occurred to me that the shape kinda looked like an "S," which is conveniently found in the word "music." Add some color splash, and voila. Logo.

p.s. - I'm not sure why the orange is blowing out here... it's been fine everywhere else I've seen it. Blah.

Typographical logos

I developed this shadow/mixed-typography/striping style for some new features at the paper as they came up. They didn't go over too well at my SND portfolio review, but you know what? I like them. And so do my editors.

Not shown here is a logo for The Bizz. It was kinda like The Buzz... only with an "i," of course. Oh, and it was green, like money, since it was a Business feature. Get it? Good.

Allrightythen.
