info2eat.comSkillsConcepts, Adobe Photoshop, Macromedia Flash   Summaryinfo2eat.com’s logo / mascot was a fun project. The nameless gentleman depicted was used both online (in the website and promotional Flash movies) and also in print on membership cards. Original pencil sketches were scanned and imported into Flash for cleanup.  Note: The info2eat.com domain no longer points to family friendly content.
Lunatic MediaSkillsConcepts, Adobe Photoshop  SummaryLunatic Media, a small publishing company, approached me to design a fun, but slightly edgey logo. Playing off a pun on “lunar,” we agreed on this design.
Virginia Beach Minority Business CouncilSkillsConcepts, Macromedia Flash  SummaryIt was an honor to develop an official city logo. The wave motif invokes Virginia Beach; the colors represent diversity. My logo appeared in a 30-second television commercial to promote the Virginia Beach Minority Business Council. Launch the video clip at right to take a look (approximately 980KB; may take several seconds to load).
VaBeachDems.comSkillsConcepts, Adobe Photoshop  SummaryI always enjoy a reason to use my cartooning skills. This site ran for six years and humor was a significant factor of the site’s appeal.
The Writer’s BlockSkillsConcepts, Macromedia Flash  SummaryThis is one sample from a series of concepts for a writer’s consulting firm. I used obvious visual metaphors for a strong but elegant design, including a block and book fashioned from the W.
SmileyBerks.comSkillsConcepts, Adobe Photoshop, Macromedia Flash  SummaryThe gentleman responsible for SmileyBerks.com describes himself as a palindrome — a word or phrase that reads the same forwards and backwards, such as the famous “A man, a plan, a canal: Panama!” or “Madam, I’m Adam” (spoken by the first man to the first woman) — which is to say, he considers himself a straight shooter, no pretences. According to his website, “Berks” is Tagalog slang for “friend”; “smiley” is clear. I thought it would be fun to use the intitials S.B. in a palindromic way. Inspired by the artwork of Scott Kim, I designed the animation at right.
Keystone StaffingSkillsConcepts, Adobe Photoshop  SummaryKeystone was interested in a new logo, since I had developed a number of website designs for them. This was one from the series (they decided to maintain brand consistency in the end and stayed with their existing logo).
Bayliner BobSkillsConcepts, Macromedia Flash  SummaryUS Marine briefly considered a website mascot, something along the lines of Clippy, the Microsoft Office assistant. The concept was eventually abandoned due to the cost of animating such a character, but this fellow would have been he.
CoolFlowSkillsConcepts, Adobe Photoshop  SummaryCoolFlow, an engine coolant manufacturer, was looking for a tough mascot. This character fit the bill (there’s a pun in there, somewhere).
MyHotrods.comSkillsConcepts, Adobe Photoshop  SummaryI designed the MyHotrods.com logo before I delved into its site design. I especially had fun with the “muscle car” flames, but the chrome lettering was also rewarding.
