Bounce-Rite Trampolines

For Bounce-Rite Trampolines, my goal was to make something fun, kid & family friendly, with energy but still seem professional and trustworthy. After all, when you’re talking something that the whole family will be jumping up and down on, you want to know that you can believe in the manufacturer.

I’ll post up the other page designs as they’re finished.

Murder My Sweet & Petals

Paul and I went out last night and did some shooting for Murder My Sweet & Petals, two Austin bands we hold near and dear to our hearts. It was a good time and we got some great photos and footage with Paul’s Panasonic GH-1 and Lesley’s Canon 20D. Enjoy!

Into the Whole Concept Art

We’re working on a pretty secret, pretty badass project. Not going to go into all the details but Ben and I are doing some concept art for it. Here’s a sample – not colored, obviously.

Red McCombs Media Blog

Recently Red McCombs Media contracted me to do a nice and clean blog redesign for them, based on their current website and the branding I’d created back for them when I was the Creative Manager.

Here’s the result:




Outraged Blog Design

For Conflict of Interest, the main character is the author of a ridiculously popular blog that begins to make big waves in the political world. So if you’re going to have a movie that is about a blog, you should probably at least have a blog design. And shots of people surfing it.

I wanted it to feel a little militaristic – representative of the grass-roots sort of revolutionary mindset that Outraged influences within his readers. It also had to have a sense of Mombaire. The logo features the Mombarian “star” prominently, the star that’s seen on both the Mombarian flag and the Kimaiyo flag during the film.

To view a “live” version of the design, Go here! Otherwise, just look at the design below:




John Mordire Computer Login

Quick “computer login screen” made for the film Conflict of Interest. We needed computer inserts of the main character Stan breaking into a computer. The easiest way was a simple, quick HTML walk-through.

Live Demonstration
Note the background is huge – as it was meant to be viewed full screen.

Whisperwire Collateral

Gray/Black, white and red. You may notice that the WhisperWire collateral, the iD3 collateral and the Red McCombs Media collateral use a very similar color palette. This was not my doing. Well, it was sort of. But not really.

WhisperWire I absolutely chose – but it was this WhisperWire collateral, and showing it to other clients, that ended up inspiring iD3 and Red McCombs Media to take note and want to see something similar.

Hopefully, the rest of my oeuvre shows how much I love other colors – like green, purple and orange. Red and Gray/Black are just bold, sexy colors and people seem to gravitate toward their starkness. It’s interesting, when you think about it.
