Yet another iphone/ipod touch theme I had a hand in. On this one I actually only did the icons and my MacThemes German friend Smallville did the rest. I am very happy with how it turned out. We did not sell the theme, but I would ask if you use the theme, to make a small donation (or any size donation that will not hurt you finacially) to Product (RED) and help spread awarness of HIV/AIDs in Africa.
Here is an article I ran across from Inhabitat.com. The images are actually cleaned from the wall rather than painted onto the wall. It is very impressive the way the texture of the wall works with this art.
The pieces were done by Paul Curtis aka “Moose”, here is an article about him also on inhabitat.com that goes into his reverse graffitti. This particular piece was comissioned by Greenworks, which is actually a subsidiary of Clorox. I think this is a brilliant advertising idea on their part.
I think the art is very tasteful and a vast improvement over the dirty wall. I wonder though how and if they paid somone for use of the wall? And if not is surgical cleaning against the law? Well anyway please check out the article for more detail and enjoy the images.
I am going to neard out on this post a bit. Many of my graphic designer friends even think I am neardy when it comes to fonts. Until recently I had many font posters hanging in my office. I also have more fonts than music on my computer, and I have a ton of music by the way.
So this is the deal, the Centro Pro series of fonts won the “Original Typeface of the Year” at the European Design Awards. The fonts was designed by Pannos Vassiliou.
This is all well and good, but I want to talk about something else. I want to talk about how awesome these 3 font series are! They are Centro Sans Pro, Centro Serif Pro, and Centro Slab Pro.
These fonts are what I hope to see everywhere in the coming years. Do not get me wrong I am a sucker for Helvetica, and will pull it out there when I have no idea how to start a Design. But these fonts are beutiful they are simple, legible, but you would never call them boring. They push to being modern, but you could easily see them as being modern invented in the moon shot era. I love these fonts, and they are a welcome addition in my top 20. Now I just have to scrounge pennies and justify spending the money on them. The font was developed and funded by Parachute and can be found here.
I thought it might be appropriate to show off one of the themes I created for the iphone as my first post. This one is not too complicated but I really like the clean look and the ohh factor you get from people who see it. Enjoy and I will update this post later with a template so you can make your own icons for the theme. Simply click on the preview above to download the summerboard theme.

These are some over the shoulder graphics I did while working for Nashvile’s local FOX 17 station.
A piece created to improve on the following piece. All the photography and images used in this piece were all taken by me as well.
This was a group project again created while taking classes. The project was to create a three page spread promoting travel to Vietnam. I believe we recieved an honorable mention in the contest we created the piece for, but unfortunetly did not place.
A pocket sized menu created for a Nashville restaurant.
A flash site created for a condo project. The project never got off the ground but you can still see the website here.
