When I started at TapIt, I knew what they did but when I tried to explain it to friends or family, they just gave me a confused look. I wanted to create something that said: “What does TapIt do?”, something that would get people’s attention even if mobile advertising isn’t something they find interesting. I [...]

I entered a drawing for some free Moo Cards over at WebDesign Tuts+ and I won! I recently redesigned my resume and wanted to get some new business cards to reflect my new branding. It’s no doubt that Moo Cards are the coolest but winning the free cards got me doing a little reading about [...]

This year was my first coaching my son’s U10 AYSO soccer team. As a new coach I found a tool that made coaching just a bit more productive, the Coach It iPad app. The app has some great features that allow you to manage your practice as well as games. If you are interested in [...]

Coaching a soccer team has been great but as you can see it begins toencroach on my design work a bit. Tonight I wanted to use some paint splatter images that I found for a composition and all that came to mind was soccer cleats. I got my hands on a high resolution Adidas product [...]

I’ve been doing alot of photo realistic/Mac OS-esk icons and thought I should broaden my style. These icons were inspired by a premium tutorial on Vector Tuts, I learned a few tips including designing icons with a similar theme. I also learned that just because you can design icons at 512×512 doesn’t mean you should. [...]

Is it a photograph of the Blackberry Torch or is that an extremely detailed drawing of the Torch? That’s right, it’s not a photograph. This image is 100% fake! I spent just over 5 hours creating this image in Photoshop and Illustrator and, if you’re wondering, the final image was comprised of over 200 layers [...]
