Fly Wallpaper Pack

Logo Design

Enjoy this collection of logo designs I'm particularly proud of.
Hopefully you'll notice a common theme of simplicity, bold shapes, intriguing colors, and good typography.

Nice Things from the Front Page

My collection of things found on the front page of deviantART under "newest." Proof positive that awesome art gets uploaded here thousands of times every day. The only problem is having the time to catch it all.

Color Theory

Journal Entry: Sat Nov 14, 2009, 11:56 PM
I'm working on a revised version of my old color theory article. Mostly I'm updating the layout and formatting of information since what I already have there is accurate. Still, since I'm in the process of doing this update, I wondered if there was any further information people would like me to include. Anything related to color that you think might be useful to you or to other folks trying to learn a bit? Let me know in the comments.

I'm the Creative Director. I Direct the Creative Team and consult (consort?) with much of the non-creative dA staff on ideas, directions, requests, and all sorts of other neato stuff. I'm the guy who helps guide the dA designers to victory. Kerplah!

I tend to write too much, so I'll stop here.

Favorite Quote

The Public is more familiar with bad design than good design. It is, in effect, conditioned to prefer bad design, because that is what it lives with. The new becomes threatening, the old reassuring.
-Paul Rand
