MPro-Vision Logo Design

MPro Vision is a company is that provides video service, such as a videographer for weddings and events. The owner is my wife’s co-worker’s husband. They really liked the idea of using a lens in their logo design, but wanted to be sure it was distinguished and a “video camera lens” because most people can’t tell the difference between a camera and video camera lens. After several rough ideas, they decided they really liked the “M” on the lens to better brand their company name. I really enjoyed creating several mock up designs for this company and perhaps we will have a chance to use the designs they didn’t choose in the future.

Sketch: Octopus the Pirate

I had this idea some time last year and I thought it might be a pretty good concept to create this design into an illustration. I’m not quite sure exactly what the target audience will be. I guess I’ll let my creativity unfold and it will be revealed. I bet it will be more appealing to young kids and teenagers.

I will post a few sketches of my progress as I work on this design and hopefully have a final reveal via facebook.

Scale Crusher 2012 Brand Identify

Scale Crusher 2012

Scale Crusher 2011 was a success, but we wanted to change up the logo for a new and better design for Scale Crusher 2012. I came up with several ideas quickly and I really enjoy working through the conception and design process. Here’s a few mock up designs we considered before narrowing it down to the final design. Funny story…the SportsMX CEO preferred to not use the weightlifting design that was used previously because if you wear on a t-shirt, it kind of put the weights on each end of the bar in a peculiar section of an individual’s chest. The best part about the final design is that the CEO loves it and really liked the meter arrow that it points to where your heart is if you wear the design on a T-shirt.

Beach Beast 2012 Design

SportsMX is now coordinating their second annual activities for this event and they thought they’d use the same design as last year, but we discussed it and I felt it should be changed even if just a little bit to keep the event fresh and exciting. One thing I enjoy about SportsMX is they got feedback from their audience about this logo and they didn’t recognize the fangs on the beach monster so they would like to be more obvious this year. Also I added the word “Volleyball” and a volleyball net to represent that this is a volleyball event because last year it didn’t mention so people thought the event was a mix of a variety of beach related activities and not just a volleyball tournament. Also, they would like to remove the monster’s eyes. The Beach Beast Team really liked the new and updated logo very much.

Revamp SportsMX’s Website

The previous website was cluttered and outdated. It needed better and clearer content. The SportsMX team and I worked hard to make this happen and included a new page to show videos from events and a scoreboard system. It was a long and involved project since this is a versatile company. SportsMX is a media/news site that required a lot of time to ensure that all the functions and details were smoothly transferred from the old site to the new site. Also, this company’s CMS (content management system) was outdated had to be updated and monitored to make sure thing all functions worked with the extension. We decided to add another CMS for different purposes and to help this site exhibit more media, such as blogs, videos, and scores.

Finally, we launched the new and updated SportsMX’s website last month. It was a long project and somewhat difficult to transfer all the details from the old site to the new one. Since this is a news/media website, there was a lot of work put into the project to make sure that everything translated smoothly.

It was also difficult to make a decision about the actual web design. The goal was to make the site more simple and easy to navigate. There was a lot involved to revamp this site to include a new scoreboard system that no one has done before for SportsMX. This is still new and we look forward to keep expanding more scoreboard features in the future. Oh yes, we also added a new video that allows people to browse around, comment, and share comments through social media. We believe this new site will be able to evolve more easily in the future. We will continue to work together with the SportsMX team and designers/developers from time-to-time to update and improve this site. This site has a lot of potential and is very promising as a source of sports media in the future. You can see the live site at: www.sportsmx.com

Red Hot Woman: RIDE HARDER 2011 Design

This is our first self-promoting design that we will utilize to sell products such as t-shirts, posters, iPhone cases, and other similar things. At firs there were several ideas in my mind, but each time I ended up with a different design and I wasn’t quite sure which direction to go. It was more of “kustom kulture” style and I believe you will see style more often in the future as I will design more self promoting designs using unique monsters, motorcycles, cars, and stuff like that. I’m looking forward to designing more in the future and discovering my true art style. Right now, I’m just playing with ideas and working on different illustration styles so time will soon tell where my design skills will take me. I will add products with this design to different online shops so you can go to the “Shop” page and check out where all the online shops are. Enjoy!
