  1. Lumet - Slumbered Youth Cover Lumet - Slumbered Youth Cover — I was given the great opportunity to design some album art for a local band, Lumet. The music is energetic but has some dark themes to it, like most good music, so we chose to go with this kind of blurred, slowed down firework photography that my wife took a few years back. It was a pretty cool process she employed to get that effect, and I am glad that we were able to use them in such a cool w...
  2. Mike Dalton, DP Mike Dalton, DP — A little ditty I made for a friend.
  3. Checkout Redesign v1 Checkout Redesign v1 — Finding new ways to design a checkout form is pretty difficult.
  4. Rabbit's Foot — Collateral Rabbit's Foot — Collateral — A collection of designs for a short film. It was a great opportunity to try something new.
  5. Rabbit's Foot Premiere Ticket Rabbit's Foot Premiere Ticket — Some friends made some cool stuff. StolenSun logo by @JP Burcks
  6. Rabbit's Foot - Poster Sketches Rabbit's Foot - Poster Sketches — Working on some poster sketches for a short my friend worked on. I really miss this type of work where you can really explore various concepts for a theme.
  7. Together App for Ronald McDonald House New York Together App for Ronald McDonald House New York — I had the pleasure of joining others in Mastercard in New York for a 3 day workshop where we collaborated with a fantastic team from Ronald McDonald House New York to come up with a prototype that would benefit the house, the employees and the guests. We learned a lot, had a great time and created something we can all be proud of.
  8. Reviewing a high risk payment Reviewing a high risk payment — Adding an approve/deny component to payment details based on risk analysis.
  9. Creating some consistency Creating some consistency — Working on some updates to our platform to give the brand a bigger presence and make the two applications feel like brothers.
  10. Merchant Platform Exploration Merchant Platform Exploration — Messing around with adding some splashes of color.
  11. A ? heart NY A ? heart NY — Shamelessly taking advantage of a topical issue is pretty fun. This would be too copyrighted to sell, right?
  12. Empty State Concept Empty State Concept — I want to make an empty state a little more useful than just adding some help links and minor instruction. A mini form that leaves off a large amount of detailed inputs (which aren't required) and just gets the merchant set up with the basics to get them over the hump might be a little more motivating. Attached are the two different layouts. I think I prefer the right-aligned form, but I am op...
  13. Fraud Protection App Styles Fraud Protection App Styles — Currently trying to define a clean and simple style for a suite of apps that will be white-labeled for many brands. It needs to be able to adapt to any brand, use the colors sparingly but appropriately and, most importantly, it must be fast and easy to duplicate.
  14. Táve Signup #dailyui001 Táve Signup #dailyui001 — I decided to do a round of design curls. Táve just popped in my head so went with it. They have a great product that helps so many in my photography community.
  15. New Business Card New Business Card — Initial designs for our new company's business cards. We are going for visceral, raw but elegant. We hope to stand out a bit from the rest of the wedding industry. Not sure about that descriptor in the top right of the dark side of the card. That might be better on the back. Thoughts?
  16. Prescriptions Prescriptions — Working on a great app with a cool start up. Lots of freedom to explore different ideas.
  17. Portal Redesign Portal Redesign — Looking to make something cleaner and easier to scan.
  18. Wedding Invitations Wedding Invitations — Foil stamped invites I designed for my friend's wedding.
  19. Depth of Feel Concept 03 Depth of Feel Concept 03 — A simpler take. A word mark is something my wife and I can't agree on. One thing we can agree on is to make something delicate, thin and simple. I feel like this is lacking personality and emotion a bit, but I'll let it steep for a while.
  20. Depth of Feel Concept 02 Depth of Feel Concept 02 — Another take on the DoF logo. Trying to find the right feel for it.
  21. Sweetie Pie's Food with Soul Sweetie Pie's Food with Soul — A few years back I made some t-shirt designs for a local restaurant who had a TV show produced by our sister company. It was a quick turnaround with a goal of creating something fresh and fun. This was meant to be a generic shirt worn by employees. Food with Soul was the catchphrase and lockup I came up with that would adorn all parts of their graphic communication. It never made it that far, ...
  22. Sweetie Pie's Chicken with Soul Sweetie Pie's Chicken with Soul — A few years back I made some t-shirt designs for a local restaurant who had a TV show produced by our sister company. It was a quick turnaround with a goal of creating something fresh and fun. Fried is their thing. So is chicken. And this could be your thing. http://shop.sweetiepieskitchen.com/chicken-with-soul-tee/
  23. Sweetie Pie's Cast Iron Vinyl Shirt Sweetie Pie's Cast Iron Vinyl Shirt — A few years back I made some t-shirt designs for a local restaurant who had a TV show produced by our sister company. It was a quick turnaround with a goal of creating something fresh and fun. Sweetie Pie's is a southern soul-food restaurant with it's roots in soul music. Hence the cast iron vinyl. Get it here, if you want. http://shop.sweetiepieskitchen.com/cast-iron-vinyl-tee/
  24. Depth of Feel Concept 01 Depth of Feel Concept 01 — I never really use scripts. This one is definitely quite popular, but I had to see what a script might do as a lockup. This is for a husband/wife photography and design business.
