A little present...

Merry Christmas everybody!!!

Creating a character

I've been busy over the last month with character designs and animations. Here's a character I came up with. His name is Dab, and he is bored. I guess I would be to if there was nothing but wilderness for miles. I gave him a little flash walk cycle, although it's more of a shuffle. I wanted it to seem as if he were kicking up dirt.

The Jericho

I've been working on a kinetic typography piece for a while now and here's the result. This was taken from the more recent iron man movie. This was my first attempt at anything in flash and I think this was a good starting point for me.

TASI Re-Update

So after about a month TASI [transportation active safety institute] finally chose two finalist for their new logo and mine was one of them. The colors I originally had were to bland and didn't show up very well through different media so I chose to stick to one color and emphisize the protection waves a little bit more. Here's the original...

Final Designs

I got the idea fro thinking about soundwaves and how bass travels further than higher pitched sound waves. The tempo of the song is relatively upbeat so I thought red would be a good color to work from.

I pretty much kept this the same from when I was working on it and just adjust the colors slightly. this one is probably the most professional looking out of the four.

Again, no noticeable changes here.

The Speed Racer layout took a lot of thinking. I tried my hardest to not only bring out the Speed Racer theme, but to also make this a seemingly usable site. If anyone can remember far back enough, Speed Racer would always end with that seizure-causing red and yellow checkered background, so I new that copying that particular point would end up being a total bust. I ententially left room on the sides for mouse rollover windows to pop up, such as the side article text or the name of the navigation button. This one...was a fun challenge.

Prototype 3

This is the design I came up with from my photograph. I took the idea of overlapping shapes and the dominant green color and crossed it with a sort of window pane theme. This design's not too far off from the original, but there's enough subtle changes to not realize.

Prototype 2

Here's my second design based off of the ad I found. Each picture frame represents an advertiesment. And each ad progressively further from center screen would be more transparent.
