Wish you were here?

This graphic was created in Illustrator using custom brushes drawn with the pen tool. I think you can achieve some really nice effects with this option. For a change I decided to stick with shades of grey as it seemed to suit the textures. The font is Trebuchet, one of my modern san serif favourites. The text is sarcastic as I don't think you would want to go to here!

Potential

This graphic is based on circles that have been cropped and placed into a square grid. The typeface is Futura, a design classic. I used a mirror reversed version of the logo to create a reflection type effect. I am a sucker for yellow and I think the grey compliments this colour scheme.

Show me the way...

This design started as a collection of arrow graphics taken from the Webdings and Zapf Dingbat font families. I assembled the graphics in Quark Xpress and used Bodoni and BlackOak typefaces. I think yellow combined with black and white creates a vibrant look?

The Hue Experience

I like to play around with words, so the "Hue" experience is a pun on "New" experience. The word hue is another word for colour, so this design has plenty of bright colours. I used the InfoText typeface and the swirl graphics were created in Illustrator. The animation was created in Photoshop as a GIF file.

Its all happening

I was inspired to create a retro graphic with some bright colours and 3D text. This was the result. The 2012 graphic was hand drawn in Illustrator using a custom brush. The 3D effect was created in Illustrator using the extrude filters and the reflection was added in Photoshop. I also used the Dot Matrix font for the sub heading.
