Here’s a sample of the new 3D renderings for Fort Knox. This will be part of the new customizable safe tool. Shadows still need some work, but I think it’s coming along nicely.

A great collaboration between Shawn Murdock and myself. This time he was the design lead and I did the flash creation. This site uses some nice and fancy flash actionscripting to keep the motion smooth, custom right click navigation and SEO strength too.  You should check it out to see the sweet transitions.

Details:
Design: Shawn Murdock
Flash Development: Seth Taylor
Time to complete: 2.5 weeks
Software: Flash CS3, Caurina Tweener Actionscript Class, Smultron

Yay, my idea came to fruition, they even kept the name suggestion

As you can see, there are a few differences, mainly, my version would use glasses which would be a projector screen and the front of the glasses would be a camera to help identify landmarks or whatever you were seeing.

I wish I could have explained it with those great accents though. Good job team.

brushes app - painted by finger

I’ve enjoyed the brushes app. Painted this on my iPod Touch during Thanksgiving break.

Here’s a christmas card that was fun to design for the Kennedy Center on BYU. They provide the majority of international study opportunities for the students. Joy to the world from an extraterrestrial point of view but with terrestrial references.

Jpg artifact art. This is after 20 iterations of saving a jpg at 0% quality and then isolating the artifact pattern. The irony? This final image was saved at 100 % quality to preserve the artifact sharpness.

Harmonica NES

Since a few people asked, here’s some of the procedure/tools to make the NES Harmonica.

My man didn’t win. Actually no one I voted for ended up getting elected.

For a recent book cover design, I needed to generate a bunch of code to look like the DNA sequence. Here’s the flash actionscript I used to generate 10,000 random characters of DNA code. The code is pretty subtle on the book cover, it’s in the DNA smear. Buy the book to see it better [smile] Or, maybe just click and scroll a little farther

function randRange(min:Number, max:Number):Number {
var randomNum:Number = Math.floor(Math.random() * (max - min + 1)) + min;
return randomNum;
}
for (var i = 0; i < 10000; i++) {
var n:Number = randRange(1, 4)
switch (n) {
case 1 :
trace("G");
break;
case 2 :
trace("A");
break;
case 3 :
trace("T");
break;
case 4 :
trace("C");
break;
default :
trace("some other message");
}
}

Responsibilities:

• Layout
• Typography
• Photography found on the book cover
• Flash script to generate GATC sequence.

Here’s the book:

Here’s a free vector music note I drew just for you. It’s an Adobe Illustrator CS4 file. Enjoy and pay it forward.
