Been working on a little project the past few weeks. Finally finished now. Made my wonderful new piece of technology old. Obviously because older is “better” these days…

Over the summer I had the opportunity to design what was to be the USA Snowboard Team Olympic Glove. Months past after the design was completed so the project faded out of my mind a bit until the past few weeks when the Olympics started. I must say, I’m very glad I was given the chance to have something although very simple in design, be presented at such a prestiges event. Here they are after the final approval. My original design was to have the glove white and in final production they became navy blue. All in all, it was amazing and I thank Nike for allowing me to take part.

Every year Nike Snowboarding releases a special edition Danny Kass Double Tongue Boot. This years focus was around a Space Mission Campaign with web viral videos/photos released once a week for 4 weeks and this teaser window display. This is the window display we came up with after many, many, many, many different ideas. Turned out great.

I spent most of my summer working along side my friends at Nike Snowboarding developing this “Look Book” for brand promotion. The goal was to create a book that harnessed the qualities and characteristics of the personalities involved within the brand. This was also used as a promotional debut for the new “Kaiju” snowboard boot. These books were given to shops carrying Nike Snowboarding product as a give away item for customers.

This project has been going on for some time now. From gathering all the assets, figuring out the copy and a functional layout, I’m glad to see it completed. I finally received the final printed product today. This is an in-house Year End Portfolio for Nike 6.0 that catalogues all of their media outlets over Fiscal Year 09.

A few months ago I was tasked with designing/setting up the in store layout and graphics treatment for the on-campus Nike Employee Store for Nike Snowboarding. Here are a few flicks of how it turned out.

I’ve been super busy with projects lately. Just realized that all of the inspiration I’ve been gathering never has gone up on the site.
My goal for August is to keep the site more updated on what’s happening in my design world.

All of the projects I’ve been working on I won’t be able to post for a few months as they don’t hit the market till then.

One of the most exciting ones is the Nike Olympic Snowboarding Glove. I am fortunate to have been giving the chance to do the graphics for them. They turned out great. The theme was “American Roadside Truck Stop” so you can expect a pretty wild GO AMERICA feel.

I’ve also made some apparel patches for a few jackets in the Nike Snowboarding Outerwear line for this upcoming season.

The most current project that I’m wrapping up is the Nike Snowboarding Brand/Look Book. Should be hitting all snow/skate shops that Nike Snow is carried at this Fall. The books purpose is to show what the brand has accomplished over the past year with their team and product. Mostly this book focuses on the spirit of the brand and isn’t so much a catalogue of any sort.

During the final phases of the Nike Snow book I have also just picked up a new project for Nike 6.0
They put together what they call a “Brag Book” as an internal overview of the brands success over the season. Similar to the Nike Snow book but focused on the Print Ad campaigns and actual brand presence in the market. I look forward to putting this together.

Who knows what’s next, but I’m eager to find out.

The wonderful folks at Stereogum posted the new Dinosaur Jr. video. I grew up loving this band and do still to this day. You should enjoy them too. Check it out.

Over it by Dinosaur Jr..

This is an awesome modern take of an old style. I guess the only thing really making it more “modern” is the projection tv on the ceiling. But I’ve always wanted one of those, so I’m ok with that.
