A Quick Thrill...

...while looking down at your MetroCard.

I remember, when living and commuting in NYC, being turned off by the industrial crap busy-bee design of the MetroCard. Here's a cool, new take:

...and 17 more.

Here's an awesome perspective on the daily life and make-a-living every-dayness of one of the Earth's greatest artists ever.

I thought this burger shop design was just brilliant:

Invitation

As a favor for my wife, I designed an invitation to the concert she's planning here in town.

My goal was to create something outside typical institutional design rules, to make the 5.5 x 8.5" postcard stand out when one received it in the mail. I decided to put the focus of the eye, or the eye-catcher, on a big blob of black. I think it works well because the eye is drawn then to the rest of the text.

Beautiful Branding

I'm always looking to see what the latest branding creativity brings us. Though ECG focuses on the needs of smaller businesses, sole proprieters, and individual artists in numerous fields, I still see it is as important to keep up with the larger, more corporate design and service trends.

Creating a brand identity is essential to any business that interacts with their customers on a more personal level and wants to give their business a more unique image, based on the personality of the leadership. Just look at these amazing examples.

Simplicity of Apple's Design

Long have I been fascinated by Apple's Zen-like design philosophy. Why does it work?

An even more challenging question is: Why is Apple the leader in this new less-is-more design war? What do they do differently?

From advertising to industrial design, they just seem to nail it every time. I found this article fascinating - it's a deconstruction of what the simple policies are for Apple's design department, and what designers can learn from them.

Chicago a cappella

Eglash Creative Group — Fri, 29 Jul 2011 12:19:53 +0000

I just finished design of Chicago a cappella's new release, Days of Awe and Rejoicing. It was a pleasure working with them. They're a fantastic ensemble of volunteers, and quite well-known as performers.

The album will be released in August. I added a sample of the art to the Design Portfolio page.
