Any creative restraints that I find being put on me at work are usually made up for whenever my band has a gig. This always comes in the form of playing the actual music, but also in the form of gig fliers. I have absolute creative freedom with these mini works of art and it’s something I am completely passionate about.

Here are some of my favorites for local LA shows and beyond. Enjoy!

For the Diskeeper 2010 packaging, Diskeeper Corporation wanted to go with something simpler that what they have done in the past. I couldn’t have agreed with them more. Although previous images had communicated very well, they were starting to get a bit too complex. The challenge was how to simplify but also still convey  what needed to communicated… a clean and fast hard drive.

Starting from the ground up (rather than using assets I had created in the past), I remodeled the Disk image in Cinema 4D and added my finishing touches in Photoshop.

The result was a very sleek and clean disk, that I think looks beautiful. Thankfully the client (and their public) agreed :)

In 2010 MGM is set to release the remake of Robocop. For fun I created this spec teaser one-sheet using Cinema 4D for the 3D logo and Photoshop for the rest of the typesetting and finishing.

I should probably do a few hundred more since that’s usually how many comps a studio would get for a movie poster before deciding on a final version. I sure wish I had that kind of time.

Until then…

Diskeeper Corporation commissioned me to design the Undelete 2009 product marketing image for their data recovery and protection software.

The image needed to communicate safe data on servers. Diskeeper does a ton or market research to figure out what represents ‘safe’ to it’s potential customers. The answer? A shield and life preserver.

A little unorthodox but once tested, it was a huge success with its public.

All elements were modeled and rendered in Cinema 4D, then composited and finished in Photoshop.
