Made this flat little line illustration to celebrate becoming a teardrop trailer camper. What a fun way to roam. #HikerTrailer

You’ve got to ♥️ this new sticker for Hikes and Hearts. It’s like the classic signature of love, where couples carve their initials into a tree branch. It was created with a pen over water color style to give it a soft, hand made feel.

For immediate release, the newly tweaked and touched-up Signal Strength brand mark.  Now with more distinct angles and a bolder symmetrical stance.

Meet the nameless mobile web project that I’ve been using as my personal proving grounds.  The latest build merges a .NET Core Razor Pages, Azure SQL back-end with Bootstrap, JavaScript, and Google API front-end.  

The application has one primary capability – it plots the location of events on a Google map.  Imagine an upcoming weekend where you want to get away, maybe take a road trip, but you’re not sure which head.  This application will pin upcoming events on the map as directional inspiration for your travels.

It’s now a feature that is starting to show up in the Google Maps app.    

Checkout Firefly Destinations, a prototyped business concept for a full service travel provider that offers corporate retreats and incentive trips centered around adventure, wellness, and exploration.  Firefly’s immersive experiences are designed to inspire and deliver on their “Find Your Light” mantra.

I took this idea from vision to reality by creating a few essential business identity components. This included a website which worked as a primary touchpoint for the business.  The website design featured bold visual styles with rich, full screen photo-vignettes.  These composited scenes blended together vertically which allowed for some subtle, but delightful scrolling and animation effects.

The other area of the business that I put some design behind was for the in-person aspects of the concept.  For that, I created print assets including a welcome kit, itinerary sheets, and business cards.  These branded pieces were all stamped with the Firefly logo, a warm glowing, bulb shaped bug that is tilted slightly to give it a little more movement. 

The business cards were printed 4 color front and back with a spot metallic silver.  I added a little nod to Firefly’s sense of adventure with varnished topographic lines set on top of the front, yellow-green gradient.  Printing was done by Primo Print using one of their packages.  It was relatively affordable, quick turn solution and everything came back looking great.

Antidote X comes to life through these highly branded business cards. It’s a design that always made a lasting impression. The printing is black and tan letterpress on one side, white metallic engraved ink on the other. The printing, done by Studio On Fire is featured on their Best Pieces Blog.

Meet Dr. Webdev, the scientist, curious coder and the brains behind my first online identity.  In his state of the art la-bour-atory he’s concocted a total web remedy.  He calls it  Antidote X and its capable of solving all of your digital problems.  The original (and awesomely quirky) character illustrations are credited to John Sauer.
