Designing my winter break away
It is a winter wonderland here in small town Thomas, WV. The days are long, full of holiday cheer, laughter, and merriment. Oh, and a shit ton of design work. As you may or may not know, I’m a fairly accomplished professional designer. I’ve been designing fairly steadily for about five years now, and have created dozens of websites. I’m nearing the one hundred mark. I’m not great by any means, but I’m getting better and better, and my work is really beginning to shine. Anyway, enough about me! Let’s talk design. My first big project is Games Cast TV. The...
Read MoreMy "Men Who Stare at Goats" Review
Just wrote a review last night about Men Who Stare at Goats, a truly unique film that combines psychic warfare, Iraq, the new age 70′s movement, Vietnam, and goats. It’s really quite an absurd film. Here’s a snipplet from my review: This quirky adventure mixes the irony of psychic warfare in the US army, a tale of self discovery, political commentary, a mix of great actors, and a premise that is guaranteed to be off-the-wall.

Read More2 New Student Film Projects
I’ve completed two student films recently, one for Advertising and Imagery and one for Introduction to Mass Communications. I learned how to operate Final Cut Pro, Sountrack Pro, iMovie HD, and GarageBand all on beginner to intermediate levels.

The first film is for my Introduction class, and it was all about using as many features, functions, and effects within Final Cut Pro as possible. It’s not really a high quality work, but for a...

Read MoreMovie Review: District 9
I’ve written a review for the Science Fiction film directed by Neill Blomkamp called District 9. Just what is District 9? You really have to watch the movie to find out. And boy, will it blow your mind. I thoroughly enjoyed this film, and I believe that you, too, should have the experience of watching it. You read my review posted over at my new website called “Movie...
Read MoreFirst Advertising Project
For our first project in Advertising and Imagery (a class I’m taking this semester), we were instructed to design an advertisement for a new type of cigarette, the “Marijuana Cigarette.” This is obviously not a real product, mind you! I designed and developed all three ads. Check out what I came up with: Advertisement for male magazine Advertisement for female magazine Alternative advertisement for female...
