I was cleaning up my compy & migrating stuff to Dropbox when I came across this. It's over 6 years old, and was part of a flash site I cooked up really early on.
I thought it'd be fun to invite you all to rebound this with the oldest piece of design you can find on your computers... GO!

This was a blogging experiment I had back in the day... trying to turn $14 into $1000. A total failure in that respect, but it did get me hooked on conjuring up web projects.

What was I thinking...
July 12, 2010
This was one of my first live websites back in 2000. Jeez 10 years ago!!! I did the whole thing, Photoshop Flash and HTML. I have no idea why, but it is still live. You can go view it in all it's table glory.
My god Trent, what have you done to me! How embarrassing

Back In High School...
July 12, 2010
I was still quite a web design noob back in high school. This is a "design" of my personal site. I didn't know that it wasn't good practice to use a splash page AND set the window to a specific size. Also, is it too pink? LOL

Original Identity

Salt Flats

I did this my junior year of high school in 1996. It was done using prisma colored pencils on (I think) bristol board.
I have no idea where the original is. This is a a scan of the original slide my art teacher made for my portfolio.

Hurricane
July 12, 2010
This was a joint project from my last year of technical illustration at college, 1990. (I did the engine and fuselage, my friend did the wings and tail). Drawn in pencil using elipse guides and a perspective grid. Then traced in ink with good old rotring pens on clear film. Wonder if anyone is still doing that now, it seems like a lifetime ago?

Alien-Z
July 12, 2010
This will be my last contribution to the old skool design thread started by Trent. This piece was inked, scanned and colored in 1997.
This dude was a time cop just strolling down the street (note the swank insignia on his shoulder) - I never did finish the building for some reason.
I later transferred it to clay and meticulously carved this scene into the slab (took me about 2.5 weeks), fired it up and now it sits in the basement at my inlaws. It weights about 8-10 pounds.

'Sup, 1999?
July 13, 2010
This is what I was working on in 1999: a full-Flash, totally original, cutting edge, cinematic EXPERIENCE of a website for this visionary web design agency I worked for... that no longer exists. Check the circuitry, son. THE MATRIX HAS YOU.
And yes, the UI was so avant-garde and daringly experimental that it needed instructions so all you morons could "use" it. You're welcome.

Jesse's World
July 13, 2010
This is the oldest piece of original artwork on my hard drive: July 17, 1996 — almost 14 years old!
This was my very first website: the entire thing was image map.
I created the initial rendering (bg, planets and asteroids) in TruSpace. The lens flare was carefully crafted in Photoshop 2.5LE.
(Bonus points for naming each of the Photoshop filters used.)

My Very First Graphic Design Project
July 13, 2010
This was my very first design project for my Dad's church that took me 6 hours in Photoshop on a PC. I had never touched Photoshop before and just as I was about to save, the PC crashed on me and I had to redo it. The second time it only took me 4 hours LOL
This now prob would take me 2 minutes :)

A Taste of Tiger Tailgating
July 13, 2010
A radio station in Baton Rouge put on an event called "A Taste of Tiger Tailgating," and they wanted a web graphic to go along with it.
I did this in 2007, at the end of my first year in the communication design program in college.
Hovering tiger head will get you.

dreaming after a dozen reruns of the original startrek
July 13, 2010
You asked for the oldest design on my machine. This monstrosity will probably get me kicked off of dribbble, but this 'collage' was created on some corporate computer using MS Paint when I should have been working on something else. I think the year was '96 or '98. I'll turn in my internet license now… :)

Outfit Essentials
July 13, 2010
I lied.
I believe that this is not only the oldest piece of original artwork on my computer, but the oldest piece of original digital artwork I have saved: October 23, 1995.
This was also my very first attempt at creating a logo in Photoshop... I was fascinated by "color dodge", even back then.
The only other digital artwork I created that was older than this was a cross-section of a tap root I did for a research paper using Logitech Paint Show Plus on a monochrome monitor with a Hercules graphics adapter. (Feeling mighty old now!)

This is the beginning of it all - ca. 2005. Worked this guy up with a hacked copy of PS, on my dell laptop in my dorm room. I put my heart and soul in to this poster. I prolly also put too much texture in it as well...

VGA RPG FTW!
July 13, 2010
From September 1995, this is probably the oldest completely digital graphic of any sort I still have kicking around in some form. I built a really lame RPG and clearly put more effort into the art, since it was both boring and buggy.
Bonus type cred: while the chunky font on the bottom was DOS system text, the thinner type above was a hand-drawn pixel font.

Circa 1994

This was created in 1994 shortly after I got my hands on the layers feature in PS 3.0. Somewhere, I have the original PSD, but I was only able to find this small version from an old site backup on my Dreamhost.

Old Game
July 15, 2010
I thought I'd add in what the oldest thing I have on my computer is. This is from an old RPG game I was working on around 2000 or so. It was using the Sphere RPG engine. This was from a test demo, and everything fell apart quickly after that. I wasn't really worth a crap with programming back then, and I never could find anyone to work with me on it so I could focus on graphics.
I could very easily do both today, but considering I'm not a teenager with endless time on my hands it'd be hard. I've always wanted to make my own RPG. Too bad it's not to be.

France Divided

The oldest work i could find on my computer is backup copy of the first site i did using html/css. this was done around the time designing with web standards and more eric meyer on css came out. the photo treatment was inspired by Cameron Moll's that wicked worn look post. The repeating background graphic was straight up ripped off from Cameron's site.
