Water Tower Design Concepting

South Ogden is putting a fresh coat of paint on the water towers that welcome you to the city at about 5600 S. and Harrison Blvd. The city will award the selected design with $1,500. I'm in it for the money, but also because I love South Ogden. We have so many great memories there.

Business Card Design

Business card I recently designed for a friend of mine. Actual card printed double sided digitally on 110# HP Pearl Ice Cover. The sparkle in this sheet brings out some nice color in this ink. I love when you hold this card up in the light you see the violin silhouette on the front of the card appearing neatly over the text.

Discovery

I had the opportunity to throw out some ideas for a real estate brokerage logo a few weeks back. While none of the concepts that I submitted where selected, I figured I'd develop and post the idea I liked best.

Syracuse City Logo submission

Results are out for the finalists of a logo design contest I entered for Syracuse City... I'm not sure what to make of these results. I think I may have won by losing. I seriously can't take the entire panel of finalists seriously, could it be that the fine city employees are able to? Who is running this town? I took this screen cap from the Syracuse City website where they are inviting people to vote on their favorite. If number 2 isn't declared the winner I may have to move to a different city; it is the only well-designed, contemporary logo that has any life in it at all. Excellent design by Cam Jefferies of Seige Design.

I submitted a guide with my logo since I didn't know who would be judging these submissions, and I felt it was the best way to get my complete idea across about the importance of a nice city logo in general. Seeing that this thing is coming down to a vote, I see that it wouldn't have mattered anyway. I have to give credit to the fine folks who designed the Murray City logo a couple years back. They built that logo to last; I had to pattern some of my design decisions after theirs. Take a look at the PDF by following the link below and let me know what you think, be brutally honest in your comments.

Branding and biz card for voice teacher

Joshua

New addition to the family means a new logo to create. This mark for Joshua was tricky but I love the story behind it. It was inspired by a growing bean stalk and the words 'Just Wait'; saying Joshua in Italian sounds very much like that phrase. We'd named our son and I was pronouncing his name in Italian over and over. 'Just wait' is what I heard; the same 'just wait' I'd been hearing I'd been hearing in my mind with respect to many life questions for the past 6 months. In that moment, I once again learned how patience is a virtue and how true inspiration doesn't always come on my timeline, but it does come.

Ogden Marathon Poster Contest submission

I put these together for a poster contest that is going on for the Ogden Marathon. They allow two submissions so I thought I'd take advantage of the chance to do two pieces. Two very different pieces. I like to board game concept in that it shows off some specific details of the Ogden race. Submissions are showing in the Union Station Gallery 51 during the month of September. I went to check them out today with the kids. Not much to say for the competition. I didn't see many other pieces there. The great news is that my two pieces sold on the first night during the gallery stroll. Yeah!

Coloring Book

This coloring book will be for kids that end up spending time as patients at McKay Dee hospital. The book celebrates a 100 year anniversary for the hospital. The front and back covers are designed to allow a child to hold up their book in front of them and picture themselves as a healthcare professional.

In Progress

Working on some temple pieces that I could screen print and maybe hang in the house. Looking to nail it with 2 or 3 colors. I've still got some ideas to push around, but here is where I'm at so far with the project.

Running On

Inspired by road signage, other artists, and the Ogden 26.2. The Ogden Union Station is visible in the background. The Ogden marathon finishes just up the road from that historic location. I created this imaginary sign to remember the event in 2009. My wife and I ran the whole marathon together. Looking at this logo you either see a man running toward you with the woman running  after, a woman running away from you with the man following, and maybe a man running toward you and the woman running away. In my case, I'm usually chasing after my wife, she is faster than me.

Tab Tour Logo

This is the unofficial logo for the Mormon Tabernacle Central States tour. It made a nice cover for the activity book I created to keep myself busy on the long bus rides. MTC OTS stands for Mormon Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra on Temple Square. Our tour route is seen below the tour date.

BAUER bingo

Shoot it up with Jack as you listen to some overused lines from 24. Plenty of layers in this one. I wanted to put the created Bingo table to work with some textures and props and get them all playing together nicely. The wood background is a little too loud, but I like how it interacts with the glow of the numbers '24'.

The look and feel for some .ppt slides I put together for Destination Homes. This is the title slide.
