Maroon 5 Cd Cover

Maroon 5 is a highly recognized American pop rock band from Los Angeles, California. Since debuting in 2002, the band has sold over 10 million albums in the United States and nearly 15 million worldwide. They also enjoyed major chart success, going gold, platinum, and triple platinum in many countries around the world. Also, they are my favorite band so I decided to create a CD package design that will represent their music style. Everything except the text is done by hand and then manipulated on Photoshop. Here you go! If you have any comments or suggestions do not hesitate to post :)

5 Places for Graphic Designers to Find Inspiration

I came across this article and I find it to be very fascinating due to the fact that it reflects my ideology of creativity and how we designers find inspiration everywhere and anywhere, that's what separates us from the rest and as my good friend always says "Always see things with fresh eyes, because that is what is going to refine the skills that will pay your bills". Enjoy! I know I did :)

Book Cover Designs

Ever since I read the book Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen on my literature class, I fell in love with this wonderful author. Her writing style is just amazing and they way she captures your attention through out the book is truly remarkable. Therefore when I was asked on my senior design class to design a series of book covers I didn't think twice into choosing my favorite writer, Sara Gruen.  She is a devoted animal lover and a award winning writer. Her fiction novels are a true representation of strength, courage and animal companionship. Sara Gruen’s awards include Book Sense of the Year, the Cosmo Fun Fearless Fiction Award, the Book Browse Diamond Award for most popular book among many others. So here they are enjoy!

Pretty Cool!!

When I was little I used to think that by the time 2012 got here there were going to be flying cars and a bunch of crazy technological advances, even though there are not flying cars yet... we have made some pretty good technological advances. For example:
