01.22.10 | 3 posters
It’s been a while since I’ve designed some simple concert posters. These were all done in the course of one night, and I’m actually really happy with the results. I’m not saying they are perfect, but then again, I’m hardly ever 100% happy with any work.

1. The Horrors – Primary Colors It took a few listens before I fell in love with this album, but once I got past the initial shock of not hearing much of the previous “zombie garage” sound, I was hooked. The sound is very reminiscent of vintage darkwave, but with a modern twist. |
 |
2. Conor Oberst – Outer South I was surprised to see a new Conor Oberst (and The Mystic Valley Band) album get released so close to his previous release, but Outer South turned out to be just as good, and in some tracks, even better. I must have driven people crazy with how much I played this album. |
 |
3. The Whitest Boy Alive – Rules It took WBA almost three years to come out with a follow-up to their first album, Dreams, and it shows with the more mature and developed sound of their second album, Rules. This album is filled with all kinds of infectious loops and lyrics that it’s hard to listen to it just once. |
 |
4. Silversun Pickups – Swoon I was late to find this band, but ever since I purchased this album, I have purchased everything they’ve done. I love their melodic sound and lyrics. Their music is perfect for a long drive or while working into the late hours of the night. |
 |
5. Mexican Institute of Sound – Soy Sauce I really love it when bands from south of the border break into the American music scene. M.I.S. got me dancing since the first time I heard them get airplay on KCRW. I was also lucky enough to catch them perform live, and I must say that they know how to work the crowd. Everyone was dancing! |
The Rest
A lot of these albums made an impact on me, but didn’t get as much play as the five above.
12.08.09 | LIA Award For The Army Experience
The Army Experience Center has been making the rounds all over the advertising and design award circuit. I worked on the project over a year ago, so it’s kind of cool when I get emails about it still winning awards. This time it was the LIA Award for their “NEW” category.

10.20.09 | Mercury Insurance
The web site I designed for Mercury Insurance more than six months ago is finally up and running. I also designed an Ajax drop down for the login info, but I guess that wasn’t used. At least they are still using the “Retrieve Saved Quote” drop down.
10.17.09 | Combichrist.com
Just finished updating the Combichrist site with a new flash header. I’m actually planning a full redesign soon. That site was built about two years ago, and it’s screaming for a new layout. Stay tuned for more!
