This idea came to me on a sleepless night (one of the many I’ve been having lately). I’m kind of a Stumbleupon addict at the moment and I tend to post what I find on my Tumblr. Because of this co-dependent relationship between the two sites, I decided to combine the two. Literally. These are two quick logo combinations that I thought were amusing. 

I just began interning for the Office of Sustainability at the University of Florida with the intent to create a cohesive, visually-dynamic edge to the department. One project I am currently working on is creating the identity for the Adopt-a-“Swamp” campaign. The goal is for organizations in the student community to “adopt” an environmental area and maintain it (removing trash, etc.). What is posted here is the first draft of the potential logo.

Don’t forget to appreciate your Mom(s) this week! Due to work I had to celebrate a tad early, but I think she enjoyed her gifts all the same.
Xoxo to all the great mom’s out there and mine!

I haven’t exactly posted on here in a while, so here’s a little cartoon I cooked up. Not exactly how it happened, but it’s all gravy.

Mono Malo Branding  |  Adobe Illustrator  |  2011  |  12FL OZ

Mono Malo, meaning “Bad Monkey” in Spanish, wanted fresh branding for their upcoming beverage distribution. Each bottle is shaped recognizably to the
associated fruit-flavor to create a unique experience visually and through touch. The logo works together, as well as seperately, on the packaging the monkey-
aesthetic is on the cap while the text-based portion appears above the flavor.

As I walked into my favorite corporate chain coffee shop, something felt a little bit different…

The rebrand had taken effect. After 3 months of waiting I was excited to witness firsthand the glorious minimalist aesthetic.

The clean green and white cups, the earthy sleeve, the texture of the 10% post-consumer recycled fiber. It was better than I had imagined. To my pleasant surprise, they had a 40 year anniversary blend, appropriately named “Tribute” which I tried. As I sip on it now, believe me, it is delicious. A tribute to Starbucks indeed.

I do. Well, not really, but I feel like I invoked one during this project. For those of you who don’t know what that means or who the subject matter is, you need to watch Dexter on showtime. It really is a great show. In order to quell my desire for the upcoming sixth season, I decided to digitally paint the enlightened serial killer. I’m debating on whether to make a tutorial on how to do this, it really depends on how people respond to it. Enjoy!

Truth be told, I’m tired of girls going on about how all guys are assholes. They claim to want the nice guy, then go out and date another fist-pumping douchebag. Rinse, lather, repeat.  I figure if I brand this on my body somewhere, maybe the ladies will realize the error of their ways and start practicing what they preach.

So say hello!

The ominous, frightening image below explores the idea of the Internet Generation. In an era where everything we want is accessible at the touch of a button, instant gratification is expected and demanded. We derive our life force from this interconnectedness, from these constant interactions. Whether or not we choose to participate, we are all connected all the time. The grungy scene is not only a metaphor for our present state but also depicts what life may be like once we become merged with the technological devices that we take for granted.

The image was created in Photoshop from pictures of computer parts, cables, speakers, and a model. What better way to depict a technologically-based culture than using technology?
