Pretty intense video about society, corporations, and American culture.

Really creative way of using type to create cool characters by Marco Recuero. The use of texture really adds a nice dimension to the typical use of type.

Book cover designs by Nicole Peterson.

This is just my type of design. Simple, clean, and effective. It shows how simple forms, and well selected colors can be as striking and effective when designing.

This was too cool to not post.

I haven’t blog in a very long time, but I have been very busy and it’s been hard to find time. And having to fight with 1000+ on google reader is not fun. I just finish designing a website for inkredible printing which is the first website that i have designed since mine. It was a very good experience and I learned a lot.

Well I am going to try to post more often.
I leave you guys with this insane video.

These are two of the characters for my children’s book, the first one is Geist the main character, and the bubbles are called Burbs. I made this mainly to get an idea of how the colors will look.

I am currently working on a children’s book. This is a great opportunity to showcase my illustration skills, something that i haven’t really used for something specific. I really want to create a very good story that a people of all ages can enjoy.
Currently I am working on finishing the story and I have started to create thumbnails of how the spreads will look. I am limited to only 16 spreads which makes it difficult sometimes to go very deep into the story but at the same time it helps me create a very direct story.
I need to start illustrating a couple of pages to see how the illustration will feel through the whole story.

Here are some of the illustrator that I have been using for inspiration purposes.
