Groove Cereal Album Release

My buddy Groove Cereal has released his first album. Its a wonderful bit downtempo electronic sampley goodness. I was excited to be able to do the cover art for it.  He wanted a cereal box theme. It was very fun to make this, no pressure other than a simple design brief.

The album is available for free download here.

 

DESIGN PROBLEMS

I have been in a bit of a creative slump. Between, design projects that were poorly defined, and concepts that just completely failed to resonate with me, I have had to work hard to be more creative.  When I saw the AIGA article Relighting the Spark by Lisa Schneller I immediately clicked and read. The summation by Josh Levine really resonated with me. So I put together a little “poster” to remind me of this simple maxim.

The bg image is a little low res,  but the subject just is so good. And besides, this is just for me, so i’m ok with that.

RISKING THE KNOWN

My church asked me to do a slide for their next series…  I initially started a different direction thinking about the dullness of day to day life, but I really wasnt feeling most of them. While talking with the church leaders they said i should think about adventure in my piece, so this image is what resulted.

        

These were some of my discarded ideas. It was also helpful that they told me the correct name for the series ;)

CITY GROUP BANNER

I did this for my church. I wanted to do something interesting and different(than the church was used to). So I looked at a current design trend and adapted it to my needs. I think the overall effect is pretty cool.

NEW BIRTHDAY CARD

This is a customized card we send on behalf of our clients. The name, address, and offer fields are auto populated from our database. Its a very interesting challenge making text that you cannot manually kern or adjust look good. This is a 4 up proof from our printer.

Executive Fitness

A client who uses a has a very nice modern facility needed a notification letter for his members. I thought a swiss grid approach would fit his needs nicely.

This is part of an e-mail and kiosk campaign for our customers. I am pretty pleased with the overall look of it. It has elicited a good response from our customers, which makes my boss happy :D
