Concept Art

Above: this is a design concept for the logo of Panic Attack Press (© B-water Press).

Below are some examples of concept art I did at edgi. After coming up with the aphorisms I usually worked with the owner of the company and I would draw various quick thumbnail sketches until I hit upon something he liked. At that point I'd hand it off to a member of the art team to run with and we'd rework the design to get it to a final piece that the owners liked. It really was a team effort which I enjoyed a great deal.

Aphorism: "Afflicted With Genius"

This one was tough, since visualizing genius as an affliction was kind of challenging. I came up with this aphorism though, so I kind of had an idea in mind for the visualization. I'm not happy with the font of the words- if I were to revisit this that would change.

Many times I'd make several sketches until I hit upon something liked by the owners. Below are a couple of examples of my quick sketches which illustrate the process of getting to a final design.
