Let there be lightsabers

Sat, 03/03/2012 - 12:29

Another design I thought would make a pretty cool poster, although that could just be because I'm a pretty big fan of Star Wars.

This one was created for the 'light' brief over on GotBrief and started out as just a design of a lightsaber which then turned into the 'let there be lightsabers' idea:

The Windows 8 logo: too much window.

Redesigning a logo for any large scale company or product is always going to be a tall order and Microsoft Windows is certainly no exception, the recently redesigned logo for the upcoming windows 8 OS is certainly causing quite a lot of online chatter (this blog post included).

The apostrophaces strike back

That's right they're back!

As I was sifting through my old blog posts I found the apostrophaces design I did just over a year ago and decided it was high time for a comeback!

Eee Gads! Two blog posts in one day? Surely not!

I've been hard at work finishing some designs off and thought I would post both today. Much like the Level Up design I posted earlier today, I think the following design would make a pretty cool poster:

I've been working on the following design recently:

I'm quite happy with the final result, I did have the chevrons of the military insignia as solid colour rather than the vertical lines but I find they add a slight illusion to the piece; can you see the three floating platforms?

Fading chances

A little design piece I've been working on today, it's called "fading chances".

I don't think it's quite there yet & perhaps needs something else but I thought I would post it anyway. I find it's quite good to just stop and take a step back, maybe get some feedback before I add something that perhaps might not be needed!

Like it? Hate it? Indifferent? Let me know in the comments below.

P.S. Don't smoke.

Apostrophace design - bauhaus

I thought I would share one of my favourite apostrophaces. I found it makes a pretty good background or wallpaper so feel free to save it & try it for yourself!

If you would like to alter/re-post this image then all I ask is that you add a link back to this original design.

Social media campaign tools.

The only tools you'll need for a social media campaign:

Social media campaign tools

You don't have to look too far to see that the major social networking sites are littered with these so called "campaigns".

If you are planning a social media campaign then please try to steer clear of these tools otherwise, you're not really planning a campaign: you're planning a competition.

The lone vagabond

I've been playing about with the idea of a design involving the outline of a person, much like the style of the Mad Men opening titles, however I have been a bit too busy lately to actually design anything!

I managed to play around with some of the ideas today and I came up with the following:

The new HTML5 logo

The World Wide Web consortium (W3C) unveiled their new logo for HTML5 on Tuesday, along with a rather fancy website & a clear brand message on what HTML5 represents.
