I am going to continue showing examples of graphics I have made, and this post is going to focus on designs I have made in Photoshop.

Several years earlier I became obsessed with designing and making signatures for forum users to display at the bottom of their posts. I have made many of these, but unfortunately most of them were on my old computer which is now fried. I only have two of them, although I am sure there are several floating around online in random forums.


This is a signature I made some time ago, using a render of an archer from the game Guild Wars. I mirrored his image several times in order to get the slight ghost image above him. The only thing I don't really like about this is the font color, because it slightly blends in near the bottom right corner. If I were to re-do this one, I would probably do the font in white or a slightly lighter color.


This is a bit more recent, and this time I used a render of Sora from Kingdom Hearts. I focused on lighter colors this time, and tried to make Sora stand out a bit more than the archer in the previous signature. The light blue and green colors, which often signify tranquility, are a perfect match for his expression.

As you can see, both of these feature characters from video games. I have been and always will be a gamer, and so used renders and images from games which inspired me and had an impact on my life. I feel that if you have a connection to your work, it will be much higher quality because you will care a great deal.

Well, anyway, that is it for now. I am going to see if I can find some of the animations I have done for the next post.

So I have been incredibly busy this past week what with finals and papers, so I haven't had much chance to post. Over the course of the week I am going to post various graphics and other image content I have created.


This is a simple flyer that I created over the summer for a concert. I decided to keep the design simple and not include too much besides the information. I had originally wanted to make it flashier in order to stand out more, but I decided to stick with the band's image and keep it simple. 

I will be posting over the course of the next few days. Expect to see several animations which I have made as well.

So It's been awhile since I have posted. A lot has happened since last year. I have changed majors and am now studying Advertising & Public Relations, joined a fraternity, and also started going to the gym. Overall, I would say I am doing pretty well.

I will hopefully be updating this every couple of days if I can, and if not, then at least once a week. I plan on focusing most of my writing on ideas that I have for advertising and public relations work, but will also be posting content that I find interesting and worth taking a look at. Such content could include innovative new technology, ideas, products; pretty much anything actually.

With that being said, I will end this post as I need to get back to applying for jobs. I don't want to be jobless for the summer after all!
