New Super Shock Football Intro Screen!

So my first crack at our title screen looked kind of like this. Which I liked but after we got knee deep in the game, a more light-hearted style began to take shape. So in an effort to stay consistent with our new funny drawings used everywhere else I developed this new title screen for the game which I actually like much better. Enjoy!Super Shock Football comes out in a couple more weeks!!!

Super Shock Football Game Site Up!

It's been a while since my last post. I've been hard at work on my first iPhone game. It's been a lot of work but it's also been a blast. I learned so much as a designer working on this project. There were many things to consider past the usual "make it look good" approach we often fall into as designers. ie: functionality, scale, intuitiveness, smart use of space, versatility, 3D texture mapping, marketability, the list goes on and on. Anyway, I wanted to let you all know to check it out by going to our new website. SuperShockFootball.com

We got all kinds of good stuff there including a trailer, game details, screenshots, wallpapers, forums, and links to our twitter, youtube and facebook pages. More than enough keep yourself busy while you wait for the summer release.

Below are some of the iPhone wallpapers you can find on our site....

Super Shock Football Play by Plays

Hey everyone. It's been a long time since I've posted anything. I've been pretty busy adapting to my new role as a father and trying to juggle a design business while developing an iphone game. So what we have here is a bunch of illustrations I did for our game. We changed the name from ILectric Football" to "Super Shock Football" This was for creative reasons as well as legal reasons :) Anyway, after the end of every play one of these bad boys pops up. The goal was to make them vintage and funny. I hope you like them. For those interested in more info on Super Shock Football, check out the Facebook page and become a fan! You can also find much higher resolution version of these drawings there. Stay tuned as the first trailer will be coming out in the next few days.

Dealing With Graphic Designers

Here is a little taste of what I'm working on for my next promotional piece. I'm putting together a small book that will be used to help clients understand how to work with their graphic designers. (Hence the title) One of the most important steps in having a successful working relationship with a client is education. This will serve a dual role as both a promo piece and a educational tool. It's all designed to look like a cheesy 50's Survival Guide. I'm trying to make it both funny and useful. I'm still writing the different segments but would love to hear feedback from any of you designers out there who have some things you wish your clients would know. ie: "Quit saying Jazz it up!" or "Please stop sending publisher files" etc, you get the idea. I would like to keep adding to this idea and maybe get an actual REAL book out of this one day and not just a promo piece. Hope you all like it. I'll post the rest up later. Thanks!

Vintage Florida Piece

So I promised my Mom that I would do an original painting for her way back during last Christmas. I just now got it done. Not that it took me a year to do it, I just have been to busy with other stuff to get it done. (some son I am) Anyway, it had to go with her decor which was kind of a "Vintage Florida Travel Theme" So that was the style I went for, something that looked like an old "Welcome to Florida" postcard or something. It was fun drawing the house I grew up in as well. Although I have to say I hate drawing buildings and scenery. But still a fun piece.
