A quick snap of some of the motion graphics I am putting together for this years SHOT Show video for Advanced Armament CorpI’m pressed for time… but this is turning out NICE.
With a MASSIVE effort behind it… The 2009 Advanced Armament Corp. catalog is finally complete. This project was an immense undertaking, and I am very glad to see it finished. I have been wrenching on the design, layout, and revisions for months. I’m VERY pleased with the result, and extremely proud of the final product.[kml_flashembed fversion=”8.0.0″ movie=”http://www.andysapp.com/clients/advanced_armament/09_catalog/catalogue.swf” targetclass=”flashmovie” base=”http://www.andysapp.com/clients/advanced_armament/09_catalog/09_catalog” publishmethod=”static” width=”695″ height=”296″/]rn(Click and pull the pages)If you would like to see the catalog in more detail, click here to download a PDF version.
I just got back a one-off deck I had made of the Drift Invasion T-shirt design I designed for the guys over at Unnatural Inc. It came out a bit dark, but overall pretty rad!
I have been working on a lot of new decks as of late… mostly one-offs for my collection. As a jaded designer… pressing up decks is a refreshing change of a print medium. The same excitement I used to get when a box of 5000 12pt 4/4 UV coated flyers would come in is now the same excitement I get when a box filled with skateable pieces of 7-ply Canadian maple arrives at my door.I had a few other decks pressed, but I can’t post them up just yet… so stay tuned!
Wasn’t I just talking about this ad? The new issue of S3 Magazine just hit news stands.
Keep an eye out for the Slide Style™ full-pager in 24 deep from the cover.
Jacob from Everything Drift sent me a picture from Formula Drift Las Vegas of some new tees that I designed for them. We’re working on some crazy designs and crazier prints… so keep an eye out for more soon.
New full-page ad I designed for Slide Style™. A new lineup of Slide Style™ goods is in the works… so stay tuned.
The guys over at Unnatural Inc. hit me up to rock a t-shirt design for their Drift Invasion series. I wanted to run with a similar style to the flyer I designed for them… but I also wanted to make a print that guys and girls could both wear. I can’t wait to see the printed product!
I had a chance to sit down and re-work the GTE logo I made back in 2006. The original typeface had some inconsistent letter skewing. So I fixed that, along with some of the ligatures. I adjusted some of the kerning, and added a few other tweaks as well.
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.
Some cool type treatments for the guys over at Unnatural Inc. for their Drift Invasion series at Portland International Raceway.
Four new Slide Style™ decks arrived on Monday. I had two new designs pressed, along with two decks from the ’07 lineup.
I snapped a few pics straight out the box… still wrapped in shrink.
Motorcult Modern & Wireframed.rnThese decks both started out as typography/style explorations.

Firebird & SlantBig ups to Dosa Kim for the Firebird illustration. That thing is sick no matter where it lands.

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..
