Gearing up to be one of my more rewarding WordPress theme designs, as far as creative-impression goes, is Yellowstone Bear World.
The gentlemen of Yellowstone Bear World came to me with hopes of bringing the fun-spirited excitement that the Great American Road-Trip, partnered with the wildlife of the Yellowstone National Park… to the website. Of course, [...]
Another great referral from my buddy Chuck Reynolds for a web site redesign. This one sparked my interest for more than a couple reasons.
First, it gave me an opportunity to finally work with the Genesis Framework, one of the better WordPress frameworks available today, not to mention it was replacing an old, outdated-looking, difficult-to-customize, [...]
Client needed a site redesign and front-end development in a short amount of time (5 days). Happy to say I got it done in 4. Design approved in round 1 and coded out in 2 and a half days. I have wanted to experiment with subtle textures, mixed with attractive typography like this for awhile [...]
Quick update to the Logoall.com site theme. The stagnant site just needed some fresh updates. I built the new theme around a Photoshop tutorial I did awhile back. I brought a little more of my style into this one, as the previous design was more ‘toned-down’, if you will. Sometimes I think I should [...]
I had a little down time over the weekend so I decided to have a little fun with Photoshop, again. Seems anytime I am bored, Photoshop always remedies this ‘boring’ thing.
I’ve had some old, pretty horrible digital-camera vacation photographs stored away on my hard drive. After going through them I picked out a potentially-worthy candidate. [...]
What is it that drives you? What is it that causes you to react to your emotions the way that you do? Is it psychological? Maybe necessity? Age? Experience? Ego? Whatever it is, are you reacting in a manner that is constructive to not only your own progression but that of those close enough to [...]
I have recently read a few articles discussing the titles that go along with the “graphic designer”, unfortunately the one that stuck out in my head the most, I could not find… (Twitter search fail) but that’s ok, that only means I am forced to rely strictly on my own beliefs rather than make comparisons [...]
A lot of internal changes have taken place at my day job in the last year, one of them being a complete restructuring of the companies objective and bringing all of the services we offer into one main brand, also know as Logoall Branding Agency.
Logoall used to be divided into 3 separate entities: WebMediaRx, [...]
Two months, a 100mb Adobe Illustrator file, a computer upgrade, 50,000 revisions, and a slight delay from the print press… and the Mill Avenue directory brochures are complete!
It was a battle at just about every turn; the map alone (the 100+mb Illustrator file) pushed my 32bit XP machine to its limits, resulting in an upgrade [...]
Got a referral from a good friend of mine (Chuck Reynolds) for a company in his home town (Chicago) needing a web site. After spending the last month-in-a-half in Illustrator and Indesign, Photoshop was a welcome change. This is concept number one for a streamlined, electronic signature company looking for a “big business” appeal and [...]
Volunteering your services to a community has certainly opened up some new opportunities and the chance to explore some creative aspects of myself that have never been challenged. I have never doubted my imagination, but like a lot of “graphic designers”, I am not naturally gifted when it comes to fine art, however… the constant [...]
So, following the great feedback received from the MADCAP Branding Campaign, the client was anxious to get moving on their next effort to revitalize the Mill Avenue Districts culture scene. The next item on the block was a little project called “Music on Mill” and like all branding campaigns, the logo design was first up.
Concepts/Ideation [...]
PaulSutton.us was overdue for a design update and ready to utilize the power of WordPress a little more than I previously had. My last design was my very first attempt at integrating a design into WordPress and I have since learned how to work with all the .php includes instead of just around them.
Instead [...]
Every once in awhile a project comes up that gets my blood flowing. A new branding campaign recently came to me and if I play my cards right it could be a pretty big release. It is still hush hush so I cannot talk about the details but stay tuned and I will post the [...]
Not that I didn’t enjoy the grunge-style theme while it lasted, it still has it’s place in some cases; but not with TeamOneSource. The demographic, though modern-day-hipsters, did not quite understand the goth-like, emo-ish style of the first redesign… so a good housecleaning was in order, following is the result.
