Some concept for fun

If I had the time right now, I'd be making like 10 video games. Instead I just doodle concepts for them. Some day!

Some Ninjas

These are a few concepts for some ninja toys I was asked to do. Needless to say, these are a few of the ones that got thrown away, and my personal favorites of the rejects.

Havin' fun with it

I was asked to design something fun to celebrate our 200 days accident free in the lithography department of Ohio Art. To my surprise (and delight!) they were printed and attached to a bag of caramel corn that was given to everybody! Not only do I think the design came out looking fun, but I had a blast doing it. If only these celebrations were more frequent!

A Doodle

I really haven't posted here much lately. Partially because my personal computer bit the dust (and I just built myself a new one a few days ago). So here is a doodle:
I'm also working on a new design for my main site. That might entail ditching this fine Blogger establishment for a Tumblr. Who knows!

Wacky Concepts

In November, I started a Design Intern position at Ohio Art (famous for Etch-a-Sketch, Betty Spaghetti, and soon to be Nanoblocks). Part of my duties as a design intern is to draw up concepts for new or existing toys.

We recently received the unfortunate news that something I drew some concepts for isn't going to make it to production, so I figured I'd post some guys up here.

The product was an RC Car, and I was tasked with designing a fun driver for it. These are a few of my favorites - I was trying to push the design in all kinds of different directions as far as color, attitude, and concept were concerned.

Physician Motivator Logo

These were the initial concepts for the logo. The client said he wanted something to symbolize "motivation" which was a little tricky - but I feel that the gears were a good solution. The only other real stipulation was that it would look like a coat of arms.


This was the next batch of concepts now that we were able to decipher some more distinct ideas, and correct some symbolism (two snakes around a staff is for military physicians). You can see an attempt at some different gears, and options without.




Again, narrowing the design and presenting an array of options to best meet the client's preference. The gear was completely done away with to achieve a simpler design, recognizable at smaller sizes.


A final concept was determined...



And finalized.

Just a quick doodle from a comic idea that's been bouncing around in my head for a while.
