Ok so here's the first blog of a series of 5. In the class I'm in now, Digital Studio, we are to hand in school projects we've done thus far to a design committee where we will be rated and graded, as well as given feedback and criticism. From there, it is up to us to make up for lost points by refining projects to portfolio grade quality. In each blog I'll post a before and after shot, as

So it's been confirmed today that I'll be contracted to do Limp Bizkit's next website. This is an awesome opportunity to me, and I can't wait to dig in. I can't talk about it too much, but I will say that I'm going to be recording my process from pre-production to presentation, so that'll be something to look forward to. If you have any ideas or things you'd like to see on the next version

I'm taking a photography class again, and this time around I'm doing some still life photography for my project. I decided to shoot my babies, Astro A40's. They're gaming headphones used in MLG. The teacher will be picking one of these for me to continue to edit, touch up, and finalize... so stay tuned!

A friend of mine asked me to do some work for him... he's attempting to start-up a record label and needed a unique logo to represent the company. He had a very focused idea of using an alien, and making the alien's tongue spell out the record label's name, "Zebulon". At first, it seemed a bit ridiculous and crazy, but I went with it to see what I'd be able to do. I'm actually pretty happy

But I do have some exciting news, I have an awesome project coming up and I can't wait to dig in. Limp Bizkit has asked me to be involved with their next website!

My 2nd class this month is called Digital Photography about, dang, you guessed it, Photography!Everyone in class was issued a Canon Powershot camera, which is a surprisingly powerful point and shoot camera. Luckily my roommate is awesome and has a Nikon D40 on hand. I'm extremely jealous, it's just an awesome tool to have.

I remember when I was just a little tyke. A night at my dad's house meant loud and thunderous rants, cries, and cheers exploding from the living room. A quick glance at the TV exposed why; the Red Sox were playing. All I could do was roll my eyes and wonder why a baseball game could drive a man so mad.Now I understand it exactly.

I just finished (well not really) my final for my 2 months of 3D classes. I've never touched 3D before and it's been a lot of fun. I know the geometry isn't the greatest, but it was more the texturing I was looking forward to.

So after wrestling my way through tutorials and giving myself countless headaches trying to figure out 3DS Max, I've actually produced something worthwhile. As a huge fan of video games, I've always wanted to touch the realm of 3D and what it takes to design something for them.

I wouldn't usually blog about a simple tool in Photoshop, but knowing this years prior would've saved me years off my life, and quite possibly half a head of hair. If you've always been too lazy to name your Photoshop layers (like me) and instead found yourself creating an abundance of unnamed layers (like me) thus forcing you to resort to lame hiding / unhiding techniques to identify layers (
