A little peek to let our customers know that STILLEN is the REAL deal.

Here’s another design project that I did for the Sprinkler Repair Service in Orange County. A big part of their marketing is the good old fashioned on-foot door to door flyering. While many companies will drop in a rubber-banded (annoying) or photocopied flyer, these guys wanted something better. We worked together to design something with a clean and fresh feel that would match their website and feel trustworthy to consumers.

I recently had the opportunity to redesign the twitter background for @AlisonRosen who podcast fans would know from the Adam Carolla Show. Hopefully this will help augment the sarcasm and general punnery that this young lady deals out on a daily basis.

Designed for Dr. Jason Koh – for a fresh/young feel in sports medicine

I was able to swing by Rally Innovations yesterday to catch up with some old friends and got a sneak peek at their new Evo Soul catalog that I designed a while back. Came out looking pretty snazzy in print!

Rally innovations produces aftermarket parts for Subarus, Mitsubishis (only the good ones) and the Nissan GT-R.

This popped into my email today:

“The biz card you made me just won me free flamebroiler.

I dropped the card in & the girl liked the design and said it’d be easy to pick out next time she did the drawing. I guess good design = free food”

These business cards were designed to help my friends from home-pro realty class up their business business card game.

Latest project that was referred to me from a friend of a friend for a quick logo design. Type up top is a pentool freehand creation, and down below is helvetica condensed 47. This would look pretty mean on the side of the supra it’s going on, eh?

Latest in logo goods. For a Dirt Abatement company – You spray this stuff on dirt and it keeps dust down. Pretty cool!

Just had a great dinner with the guys at Trans Western and took a snap of how their polos came out

Connell Nissan just launched their facebook contest that gives away a GT-R for the day. Hell yes I entered!

Here’s what shows on the contest when you land on the page:

The goal was to create a design that would communicate the idea of what the contest was clearly/concisely with images and text and gives the user a clear path to follow to enter the contest.

and after entering…

The page suggests that the user check out their wall to encourage interaction rather than the user taking a random path away from the facebook page.

Designed for local mechanic Andrew Ferguson down at Honeymoon Garage. He just opened up shop and he’s been a hell of a guy to me when it comes to getting a car in working order for an honest wage.

This product is actually pretty darn cool. It was developed by Sam down at Platinum Strands for folks that enjoy a good campfire, firefighters, and pretty much anybody that loves being around a flame but doesn’t want their hair to smell like it for the next week. It’s designed to wash the smokey smell out of your hair.. pretty cool! Can’t wait to give it a try.

Here’s part of the final logos I put together:

Ready for a huge bottle?

One you’ll see on a laptop with music bumping from all sides:

he ended up going with the one on the top left.

Decided to play a little more with this one in Photoshop so I could export a revisited version that’s more in line with what the FJ is all about

Designed for Charles over at Precision Autoworks. A dang sweet lookin S2000 widebody kit. I wish I had more pictures of Charles’ S2000 to share, it sports a wicked supercharger setup tuned by Bisimoto.

designed for photographer/choreographer Lisa Bates based out of Southern California.

Letterhead, line card, and envelopes for the guys over at www.twchem.com who I finished the website for not too long ago. They wanted to stick to a strong and patriotic feel for their design.

I recently got the opportunity to do some design on a new medium–the Hyundai Genesis Coupe.  At STILLEN (where I happily spend the better part of my day) I was recently asked to play with a few ideas for the front lip on the Genesis Coupe.  Front start to finish it was a fun process to watch, and while I can’t share every detail about how it was done, I can share a few–along with some pictures:

after the initial sketches were drilled down to the best concept.. that concept was cleaned up and sent out to the modeling room and the extremely talented modelers who would take that 2D idea

into a 3D reality. Very cool.

After completing the driver’s side, the lip is duplicated over to the passenger side

…and voila! You have a cooler looking Hyundai!

To read the full post, check out the blog over at STILLEN’s website.

If you’re interested in picking up this lip for your Genesis Coupe, give them a call! It’s in the final stages of production and the mold is currently being created.

For Orange County Pool & Spa cleaner Kevin Morton:

Lately I’ve been finding inspiration for print designs on things that aren’t necessarily print…

I ended up pulling a palette out of this house that I saw on an interior (and I suppose… exterior?) design site when I was poking around the net for some inspiration:

Have you ever wondered what craigslist would be like if advertising folks ran the place?  Probably a little more color, and a whole lot less spelling errors. I’ll take a regular run-of-the-mill craigslist ad and give my best shot at making it have a little more impact.
