Zigblog: New Projects From Zigbot Media

A CD cover I designed for Phoenix-area band Beyond the Now (since broken up, sadly).

The metamorphic good is a mixture of ketchup, salsa, maple syrup, bbq sauce and flour. It was put into a bucket and my wife kindly stood in the mixture, stepped out, and walked away as in the illustration. I took lots of photos, and the footprints never did quite wash out of the back porch. The sky and clouds are from near Prescott, Arizona during the 2006 monsoon season.

Here is an associated poster designed to promote the new album. I also designed the logo several years back.

This last weekend I married my fiance, Kelly Semke. Like any wedding, we needed invitiations, and as much as it would have made things a bit easier with all of the planning involved, I know I’d never get away without designing my own materials. Kelly and I are both very outdoorsy people, so we decided on a nice green and a rich brown to be the primary theme colors for the wedding. The invite and RSVP card were the first instance of use.

Here they are:

The invitation, printed as a 4″ by 6″ magnet.

And the RSVP Postcard, with a photo on the front from the vacation to Hawaii that Kelly and I took last January.

Here’s the front:

I just completed work on a simple WordPress theme design for the 2009 Phoenix Reptile Expo. Reptiles are something I’m very into, so this was a fun project that required very little research on my part. I look forward to seeing these flyers all over the reptile shops I frequently visit, and will definitely be at the event.

La Bone needed a uniquely styled print advertisement for an upcoming publication. They provided excellent direction, and we were able to put together an advertisement that perfectly fits what they’re working towards.

This was my first project from elance.com, and I have nothing but good to say for the site. I found a quick project after only a day, and 2 days later (well, 1 if you don’t count the 4th of July), the client is happy and has new business card files.

The card was a redesign of a file supplied as a Mac Pages document. I got some clear direction and had some fun letting the simple typography and easy contrast of the color scheme do the heavy lifting.

This is a pretty cool idea. It is a coupon to attach to dry cleaning items that gives free coffee for bringing in hangers to designated drop boxes. Fun project.
