Custom snowboard design

wade — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 20:26:21 +0000

Jonathan Hull has posted pictures of his beautiful custom snowboard design. The detail makes the piece radiate with energy.

After a couple years remaining on the list of portfolio projects to accomplish, I’ve finally succeeded in finalizing a snowboard design and sent it to production. Between obligations to client work and a perfectionist block about making the prime design, the project crept along for some time. About a year ago I got involved playing with fermat spirals and checking out surfboard patterns (which I often find to be more interesting in their streamlined design than the cacophony that sometimes clutters snowboards). Unfortunately, by the time I got enjoying those patterns, it was well into January and paying projects took center stage well into spring. Obviously, I’m a bit late this year, but at least there’s still plenty of boardable weeks remaining in the season.”

The text of this book

wade — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 03:10:27 +0000

I was reading a story to my daughter this evening and noticed that within the copyright information inside the front cover, the author has chosen to include information about the typeface used. I wish all books had this information.

If you’re interested, the book is Gossie by Olivier Dunrea and it’s a wonderful book.

Salt Lake Community College recruiting site

Richter7 has just completed a set of marketing sites for Salt Lake Community College. I think that they are great. They are refreshing, simple, clean, and effective. I love the illustrations and the way that they are incorporated into the interface.

Stuck has designed a logo for a new startup called Rain Tree Gear. They are focused on saving the Rain Forests and will donate a percentage of the profit from the sales of their products to a charity working towards that goal.

This logo wasn’t just for Rain Tree, we like to think we designed it for Mother Earth too.”

Happy Christmas by Meridth Gimbel

I found a new artist today. Her name is Meridth Gimbel and she is an illustrator. Introducing herself on her blog, she writes:

I’m a Children’s Book Illustrator. I have three cavities, and a pocket full of change.”

I enjoyed this piece that she posted on her site and shared with Illustration Rocks! (a blog of illustrators from Brigham Young University) as a digital Christmas card and thought that you all would as well. Check her out; she has a lot of excellent work.
