A cool new ad campaign for Advanced Armament Corp. Not only did I get to design this ad… I also got to take on the lead role as the “hand model”.
I put together a rad flyer for Unnatural Inc’s Drift Invasion series. I’m always down to help the grassroots guys… especially when it comes to promoting grassroots drift events. If you’re in the Portland area… definitely check out Unnatural Inc. and support their series.
I put together a killer full-page advertisement for Advanced Armament Corp. AAC holds a yearly silencer-only shoot… encouraging other manufacturers, enthusiasts, and novices to come out and learn/share/experience the benefits of supressed shooting. The concept behind this advertisement was to make the shoot epic and unforgettable. Movie posters (when done right) are both… leaving you with the initial and lasting impressions. I used a wide variety of images in the final composite… including several images of cars on fire from last years shoot, destroyed Iraq, and more.
The July 2008 issue of Guns & Weapons for Law Enforcement has a nice half-page ad I designed for Advanced Armament Corp.
Design-wise, I stepped way out of my comfort-zone (in several ways) with the 3rd issue of Wrecked Magazine. These three spreads illustrate some of the different typographic, illustrative, and layout styles I put into the latest issue..
As the only designer on staff for Wrecked Magazine, I always have a huge task to undertake with each issue. I like to design the cover last… so it it can reflect the vibe of the issue. I’m really pleased how this cover turned out. It definitely represents the issue well, for all those who really do judge books (or in this case, magazines) by their covers.
I managed to swing a nice retouch for the “Gifts Your Trashy Girlfriend Can Afford” spread in the 2nd issue of Wrecked Magazine:

Not only did the guys at S3 Magazine allow my car to grace their cover… they handed the layout and retouch task off to me. Overall, I’m very pleased with the result! Big thanks to Dosa Kim for the sick firebird illustration on the hood! And to Carlos Richard for the photo for the cover!!

I spent a few minutes on a retouch of a great photo from Formula Drift Atlanta last weekend.
If you’re the photographer who took this… please e-mail me – I want to give credit where credit is due. :)

Some new techniques I’ve been messing with on a picture I shot of the rig all suited up with battle armor. What started out as a simple retouch, turned into a nice composite!

What started out as a simple retouch for a sticker, turned into an all out Photoshop-a-thon. It was kinda cool applying some of the techniques I learned through doing retouching for Vanity Fair at work.
Thanks to Joey Redmond, for snapping the original photo.
This is going to be the sticker that will double as my new business card.

I’ve been working on a nice flyer illustration for Drift Fury. I’m really pleased with the progress… I definitely want to run some shirts with this design.
Here is a proof of one of the poster layouts I’ve been working on for the world-wide launch of the M5.
