mousepaths

I'm sure some of you saw this javascript mouse tracking art generator mousepaths from a while back, but I just came across these images again and was reminded what a cool concept this was. It's a great way to make art while doing something else. The size of the circle is proportionate to how long ...

preantepenultimate

Word of the day: preantepenultimate In an earlier post, I tried out a concept with the mountain range. Here it is, in it's photographed-on-white-ready-for-website context. You may have already seen it there. On another note, my sister is in a documentary studies program at the New School and asked me to come up with a basic title ...

Portfolio

Last time I posted a link to my cargo collective site, it was in the mid-development phase. Now it is closer to done (until I pay up and add more projects and use my own domain name.) http://cargocollective.com/michaelallen It's pretty basic but I think it does the job. Take a look, explore, let me know if ...

inverted mountain range

I was playing some more with the upside-down mountain range and wanted to get some thoughts. How do you feel it's working without being masked in the triangle shape? Boring? Or better?

X

A new cast member has been added. X marks the spot, with a little space for a mouth. I should have kept this look for a few days. Next time....

I haven't had much time lately for design projects so in desperation for something to share, I'll post my work-in-progress cargo collective website that shows a selection of my portfolio. You'll notice which logo is on the site for now... I've been meaning to update the logo but haven't been able ...

Revisions

Thanks for your input on the last post. I have pulled together a revised set of logos I am considering. Please disregard my recent obsession with cyan and magenta. It's a phase. My personal favorites are A1, D1, D2. I thought E was a fun addition, however it might be a little bit off-putting for my branding.... I've ...

Designing for yourself is the hardest

I'm slowly putting together a website of my design work and slowly working on a logo. I love using letterforms as the root of logos so naturally I've resorted to using my initials. Some of you are familiar with what I've worked on previously, so here are a few more I'm adding to the mix... ...

Broken Bird

Pearl and the Beard's tour poster: Go check em out if you're in the area, they put on a great show. Here were some other treatments just for fun I quite liked the image by itself too. Poor bunny. The upside-down mountains from a former post will be utilized for another purpose.
