Just to warn you…this video is not for the faint of heart. If you are prone to seizures, I’d reccomend not watching this one. It’s a video of most of the photos taken during my Hawaii trip (not all 772 are in the video). And yes, they are all still photos. There’s no video clips in this.

Aloha Hawaii
Here is a video that I just finished. As I mentioned in an earlier blog post about my Hawaii trip that more photos and video were on their way. Well, here is a video. I enjoyed editing and color grading this one but am glad to have it done. The photos are still on their way. Enjoy.
Read Red
This last week’s project was one I did for my sister. At her library they are going to be promoting books with red covers (or crimson) for a week (or just a few days). Thus I created this as me personal design project for the week.
St. Moritz Olympics
This last weekly project was to design a one line logo for the London Olympics. We decided to broaden that scope and pick any olympic location. So I chose St. Moritz, Switzerland. So the design was supposed to be just one continuous line and I started that with the St. part of the name. But then I failed miserably with the rest and just did a design that was obviously inspired by the requirements but didn’t completely follow through with them. So this is what I came up with. Maybe at some point I’ll take this beyond a wordmark and add a graphic logo as well.
Week Two Design Project
This week’s design project Dora and I did was to design a typeface. Dora took a more artistic approach creating her own unique and original font. Whereas I tried to create something of a mix of some of my favorite san serif fonts. I know that there are still a lot of things I need to fix on these but the week is over and here it is. I created Roman, Light, Medium, and Bold for this. Maybe one day when I’m all done fixing the little details it’ll become famous like Helvetica or Verdana. But hopefully not like Comic Sans or Papyrus.
Weekly Design Project – Retro Poster
Last week Dora and I went to Salt Lake Design Week. I decided I need to design more outside of work to keep my creativity up and to improve my skills. I figure the more I’m designing, the stronger my weaknesses will become.
We bought a book earlier this year that has 80 or so different design projects to help keep you creative. So we decided to set a goal to do one of these projects a week. And we will do it together and make it a sort of friendly competition.
This first project we did was to take a vintage ad and make it modern. Well, I kinda strayed from this one a little and decided to mix a modern ad/poster design and incorporate a vintage album cover design. I love the Coke Side of Life posters and decided to create one similar to Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon album cover. I had fun with this and think there is room for improvement but the overall concept fit together nicely. It was a fun quick project.
