Primary was a labor of love between Dave Fulton and I. You are Roy G. Biv, a hero who can alter his color which allows him to reach different platforms and perform special actions. Your world is being sucked of it's color and you need to reach the void at the top of Prizm tower to put a stop to it. Featuring upgrades and boss fights, this is a very challenging and unforgiving platformer. I wanted anything tangible to be saturated with color while background objects remain a stale grey. Each level has a crayon collectible too so it leaves for some re-playability for those who are perfectionists. The level creator used [...]

A client whose brand name has a strong history in the metallurgical industry wanted to revitalize themselves. In over several decades, they never once had a marketing department or a sales team. They were just the "go-to" business for that particular industry need. My decision was to showcase their modernized branding with a contrast of rusted metal. It's not unlike those who place a rustic accent piece in an otherwise brand new modern home. I wanted their branding to say "We're back for your business, but we've been around a long time. We have decades of experience and a whole new attitude." The first day when I met them at their Houston [...]

This catalog was made for GryphonESP in late 2018, and took a lot more effort than meets the eye. Our first request, a report on all the products that GryphonESP sold. I utilized sales numbers and total revenue to filter their list of 4000 products down to 100. Doing so helped organize the categories I would showcase, minimize clutter, and prioritize the top sellers. Product photography was performed for several of the highest sellers of each category in order to provide them with a visual edge. While working on this project, 50+ products were cut with precision to have a completely transparent background, creating a library of images for any future projects [...]

Symphonic Tower Defense is a solid flash game created by Jon Sandness and myself. Using both Flash and Photoshop, I animated all the effects and designed the layout of the game. It's a tower-defense that revolves around the music playing at the time. We started off planning to use one ridiculously long song, but over time we realized that single short levels were way more fun. Each tower type gets a boost from a particular instrument of the song. The menus were inspired by music games like Dance Dance Revolution and the actual gameplay area uses a lot of musical elements. Some of our most enthusiastic evangelists are musicians who really appreciated [...]

The full title is "Lil' Einstein's Manhattan Project" and it's still one of my favorite games to play. Programmer Andrew Virostek and I started with an idea that a plane would drop a bomb and cause as much destruction as possible through chain reactions. It's a cute premise based on a dark day in history. Make enough money to upgrade your bomb to the atomic bomb before your science project is due. Overall this is a fun and challenging game. The artistic style was chosen to mimic the idea of a paper diorama, and the whole game partakes in Einstein's garage.https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/539834

Riceball Root Beer is a brand that I created myself for a graphic design course. Starting with a story about a Japanese man who cleaned rice with carbonated beverages, I created a name and logo around the concept. My main inspiration came from Japanese candy packaging, which featured adorable characters and pastel colors.Once the logo was created, business cards came second and then actual bottle packaging. I wanted a cute bottle to incorporate the adorable rounded logo, so I ended up using a sake bottle that I found at a local oriental market.

I was approached by a man who wanted a new logo for his business, which he was very vague about. From what I was able to gather, he leads an international network of IT and programming experts who are contracted out all over the world 24/7. I would design about 20-30 logos a week and send them to him for feedback. He would always say the same thing -- "These are great! Do you have more?" His feedback was never very helpful and he was difficult to reach, so I continued to create additional logo ideas that popped into my head. After creating about 220 logos, he picked one. This is a [...]

Full title is "Super Touchdown Happy Extreme". My final project for game development. Working alongside a talented group of programmers, we wanted to try something different. STHX revolves around bastardizing American football in a Japanese setting. It's a silly idea where you attempt to get your football to travel as high and far as possible by throwing and controlling the ball. You have to avoid negative objects and hit positive objects which will lift you up or increase your speed. You can upgrade the ball and your character as each throw gives you a certain amount of money based on your performance. The inspiration for this game stemmed from those like "Toss [...]
