Less Is More: DaddyBoy Records & Endlovu Entertainment.

These are two logos I designed for a client earlier this year, I forgot to upload them and found them yesterday floating around my some files on my pc.

They were pretty simple concepts and didn't take much effort, I just kept telling myself; less is more. I also based a few ideas around the stuff I learned about typography in college last year.

Durban July!

Zip-Code Clothing recently released their Durban July dresses and Studio Twenty706 did the photography.

I borrowed a few pictures of one of the models and thought I'd play around with the images and give them character, giving them a theme based on the dress.

Almost Naked Chicks - Pencils

These are two drawings I started recently.
The first one (the naked girl with the towel) is my pencil lines, and the second one is my fineliner. The third image (the almost naked superhero) is just pencil lines. I really wanna finish these drawings but i can only do so once I get myself a scanner, and hopefully a graphics tablet. I think I'd have a lot more fun with my drawings if I had one of those.
Anyway, these will be completed soon... hopefully. :)

Disaster Hits New York!

Oh look! A plane crash in New York City!
Nothing new or out of the ordinary, but with such a skyline and perfectly tall buildings just asking to be barged in, New York is the perfect location for some Photoshop manipulation.
Maybe it's my fascination for disaster movies or the strange excitement I get from hearing about a tragedy, but I love creating scary situations - especially when the viewpoint is the centre of it all.
My previous post a few months ago, Durban Destruction, is also a good example.

I created this image with focus on the plane and used a zoom blur to draw your eye towards it. I didn't wanna use a dark, sinister setting, as in reality a plane crash can happen anytime of the day.

TV EDGE Website Launch & Graphics

TV EDGE website launches on 1st April 2011!

A site that features the latest and most up-to-date news of awesome new TV shows, such as Hawaii Five-0, Falling Skies, Terra Nova, Nikita and lots more. Grown from what was previously a collection of smaller blogs, has turned into a neatly organised information source of todays TV shows worth watching.

The site layout was created by manic-creations, and I created the site graphics. Two months planning and preparation has birthed a fully fledged site which is updated daily.

T-shirt designs of the TV shows has kept me busy as well, with constant tweaks and additions to make the shirts as perfect as can be. Every little detail was taken note of, to make the site and shirts satisfactory to the eyes.

Remember to keep checking TVEdge.net for your daily dose of TV show related information

The Best Month (In My Opinion) Is April

Honestly, who can argue? April is a great month. It's not too hot or cold, there's no Christmas buzz driving people insane. Everyone has settled into the new year with their new jobs, and have come to the realization that the year-long gym membership you purchased in January, is not gonna do anyone good.
It's also Easter, and who doesn't love Easter?! Chocolates in abundance.

But now for the real reason why April is so awesome, it's my birthday month! Finally, I'm turning 21 and I'm entering the dreaded adult years, where people take me seriously and I gotta start taking charge of my life. Exciting yet daunting at the same time.

I created a cool glittery, swoosh text image to celebrate this awesome month, and will even use it as my wallpaper for all 30 days of April.

Everything Looks Better In 3D

3D! I recently learned how to create 3D images, the old-school type obviously, which require the red and blue (anaglyph) glasses. I searched all the local dvd stores and supermarkets, but I couldn't find the glasses. It seems all movies are either the new style 3D or are normal. I will eventually test out these images once I get a pair and use the 3D properly, but in the mean time, here are three images, which should capture the 3D essence nicely.
