Got them puppies printed out at Kinkos. So I took a standard business card size, including the bleed and layed them out on a page, made some crop lines, and went to get them printed and cut on a card stock.

I skipped last year since I was busy with dealing with wedding stuff, and I skipped 2005 because that year sucked.

Not that Ive ever been really big on updating my blog, but I have been lapsing on it lately. For the past 4 months, I started a new job. I now work at MerrickTowle in Beltsville, MD as a web designer. It took a bit of a while to get a web design job, (almost 4 months looking) longer than I thought; and I have work experience. I really, really wanted to work for a design firm, since I needed the difference in projects. And I …

Oh yeah, I did do this cool image for the Delorean Car Show 2010. I forgot to post that here.

I really want to do more design stuff for the Delorean Car show world. It its something I am interested in, and would love to support in maybe the only way I can.

I called someone a year after they emailed me and the number isnt working anymore.
If youre reading this, use my contact form again, and leave an email address.  I totally would have emailed you back right away, but you left a phone number, and I kept forgetting to call.

Well, will the free time I have, I thought to make a new wedding website, this time a post-wedding site. I have plans to make it in Flash, and just a little bad ass, not totally, but I want to try some things I have never done before. Hopefully this will happen. The first part of the plan is to make an image, that the site is going to be based off of.
Here is the image
Its actually not as complicated as I want, but I cant seem …

I spent over a week just poking and massaging at this design I did for my “Last Day on the BTTF Ride” site. Every night last week, I would open the Photoshop file and just move something over a few pixels, change a couple layer styles, poke around…this went on for a weeks worth of evenings. And I just figured that was me telling myself that the design is as good as done. I spent a weeks worth of evenings coming up with a bunch of …

I went to L.A. last week for the closing of the greatest ride the world has ever known, the Back to the Future ride. I am, kind of a fan of the movies. I have personalized licence plates that say “outatym“, I have a flux capacitor tattoo, and other various bttf items. Im not the biggest fan by far, but Im way more than the casual enjoyer of the film. And I happen to be crazy over the ride, I mean crazy. Im not one of the few who live …

Today was my last day a Jacob & Sundstrom in Baltimore, leaving because Im going to be full time after Labor Day.
Kind of bummed to leave, for I had the best variety of projects working there. I made the big display sign, postcards, folder, web sites, logos, magazine ad. It really has been a refreshing experience to be there working on all those projects. I hope, hope, hope they ask me to work on other stuff in the future, because I want to do more than web …

Well this is what you get.
I whipped this up super quick yesterday. It was like a design challenge for me.
I like it actually.

After about a year of freelancing, I realize that freelancing isnt the best thing for me. Im glad I tried it, and Im a better designer for having tried. But I know I could not make a living freelancing. I like to go to work everyday. I like that there is work to do everyday, I think I function better with steady employment. Though I was freelancing by going to three “steady” jobs a week, that can be exhausting with all the running around, …

My folder has been finished, printed and given to me. I love the way they turned out. The image is so big and colorful and striking.

Rocky based team T shirts, originally uploaded by nightwind.

Company duck pin bowling day, and I made team Tshirts based off characters from Rocky 4…the greatest of all Rockys.
I spent a bit of time taking screen caps from the DVD, and then more time designing, and then even more time ironing these onto the shirts. They were made from the Tshirt print / iron paper. 5 shirts for …

I spent a whole day designing one simple folder. I have never designed a folder before, and would not have expected it to take so long.
I hope it comes out looking decent.
Thats all I have to say on the subject

Yay!! Yay!!

The site that I believe to be the greatest collection of styles, techniques, ideas, and elements for web design has added me into the gallery!
Here I am under “Retro Style, page 3″
Sure its my now old design, but my new one is still keeping in with the retro thing.
