What?! No more photographs?

You heard it from me folks, the photos I take will no longer be posted here. It's just simply not visually pleasing to have giant lines of photos right in your face. Just look at the earlier posts and you'll agree how belligerent it is. You will be able to view my most recent photography at http://www.flickr.com/photos/25842012@N07/sets.

Oh yeah I almost forgot... HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Places you go Pt. 1

BURRR!! Today was cold! Even the horses had jackets on. 

P.S. Absolutely no otherworldly beings.

Jersey Shore Deth-Trip Pt. 2

More photographs from the Jersey shore crusade.

Jersey Shore Deth-Trip

Sunday's pilgrimage to New Jersey was exciting. Conditions were decent, depending on location. There was a warm winter sun with a chilling offshore breeze. Good times were definitely had.

Antarctica Currency

woooooooah!! Good Morning, Good Morning! It's been a long time since i've posted any work. Because of The Chaine Project Design Team and being a full time student, my spare time was drained entirely this quarter. However I do not regret anything, for when your schedule becomes tight you must prioritize! Heres one of my final projects (or should I say 2 of them). I had to design currency. I wanted a challenge so I picked a farfetched location... ANTARCTICA. I ended up finishing the project within the first week, and still had 3 weeks left of the class, so I decided to design a second bill. You could say they are the same bill just from different eras in time. The first one is the modern, almost futuristic (no year specified; just keep in mind 21st century). The second one is from 1899, it's extremely vintage and probably even older than your grandparents!

Special thanks goes out to Adam Bauer for the signature!

The Maniacal Sycophant pt. 3

As promised, the rest of the Parasitic Campaign. Here is the keepsake ticket (which has a die cut), Basic Concert Ticket, and Backstage pass. I'm proud to say that my first ever design campaign was a success. It has been a long 3 months. I put over 50 hours of work into this campaign and it was well worth it

CAMP KILL YOURSELF VOL. 00

The assignment was to create a How To... Illustration. I took the most "unethical" route in order to make a bland project into something entertaining. The target audience is anyone whose planning on euthanizing themselves. Enjoy.

The Maniacal Sycophant Pt. 2

Its been a while since my last post, I've been very busy. I'm sure all of you designers out there understand. Here is the 2nd part of my campaign for Parasitic; the t shirt and poster.

The Maniacal Sycophant

Parasitic is a local band from Imperial Beach. I'm currently designing a full campaign for them which will include; Album Package, Poster, Web Banner, Show Tickets, and a Backstage Pass. This is the Album Package. Cover, Disc, Back Cover and Spines, Back of Booklet, pages 1-8 (4 spreads in total.)

One year ago

This man was sitting on a bench having a conversation with himself on the Long Beach Boardwalk. I wonder what he was saying. It was probably an interesting moment of time due to that hand gesture. There's a sharp contrast between black and white in this photograph. I believe this is a perfect capture of a divine moment in time. For all we know he could of been having an in depth symposium with himself about mind-control or quantum physics. Nobody will ever know what was truly said... except for him.

Are we alone in the Universe

A few months ago I conducted research on UFO sightings. I found a lot of interesting information regarding yearly sightings, sightings by state, and various polls. I designed 3 graphs depicting this information in an organized and professional manner. When I announced my topic being UFOs there were some laughs of ridicule and uncertainty from my classmates. However, I was not intimidated. I spent over 8 hours designing and calculating the information presented above. During the final critique, I was very confident in my presentation and the overall design was very successful. I am sure those who had laughed earlier on are now believers in UFOs.

If Wisdom teeth are so wise, why can't they grow in correctly?

My summer vacation in New York is half over. And tomorrow I have to get oral surgery because I have four impacted wisdom teeth. I'm taking it easy tonight so I decided to add a few more pictures from my trip to Upstate New York. 

How far is Howe?

I spent the weekend in Cobleskill, New York. Some friends and I visited Howe Caverns and spent much time exploring the unknown (I have never driven North of New York City). Here are 2 shots from our voyage.

Euthanasia

This was my Final Project for Typography 3: Expressive & Experimental; a class at The Art Institute of California-San Diego. I had to design a novelty beverage, and than market it. I decided to devote most of my time to the overall concept; a poisonous alcoholic beverage. The bottle is shaped like a syringe and is so deadly that one sip of it will cause death. In order to purchase Euthanasia the buyer must sign a waiver, so their family cannot hold Juggernaut Beverage Co. Liable for their untimely demise. Below is the promotional video for Euthanasia. Thanks to Taejung for help in Final Cut Pro. Enjoy.
