A design I made that never saw the light of day for a little project Shaun Inman and I were working on... in 2004! For being seven years old, it holds up pretty well.
Be sure to check the attachment for the full image. I think I nabbed the heads from a scan of old sheet music. Or maybe they're presidents. I forget now.
Unused illustration from 2006 for Cork'd. A never-realized SMS feature called "Backfire" which would text you information about a wine or user while at the wine shop.
I created this Flash intro for a student project when I was in community college in Cleveland. I meant to eventually turn it into a portfolio site. Can't say I'm disappointed I never got around to it.
Turn those headphones up, it's chock-full of animation & audio! For the full effect.
Illustration that saw the light of ONE day in a website redesign and was immediately taken down. The masses were confused and in an uproar. Too soon? Come on now.
I really wanted to see this newer version of their website go live. It's not that it was groundbreaking or anything — it just worked really well for them. The term "failpportunity" was coined with this project.
The first logo I ever designed. Hand drawn since I had no idea how to use any design software. Come to think of it, I don't think it ever made it to vector form...

+1 for aliased small type. So retro.

The super small type is actually Underware's Unibody. I loved the hell out of that typeface. One of the best pixel fonts around.

Babblenut (circa October 2001)
by Paul Armstrong
So Jason Santa Maria got me thinking about old designs that never went anywhere.
I did this way back in October of 2001. Not sure if the Flash attachment will work, but I still like the design. Mostly. Feels so ... so ... tiny.

Here's an old shot of a design for an intranet I did back in the day. Lot's of shadowy, gradient goodness.

Wowzer that's nice. Chap on the left does look a fair bit like Grant so Presidents it may well be.

Egg Shot

A grab from a project I worked on for Sony at an agency back in 2004. This certainly isn't an approach I'd advocate now! :)
