Day 28: LC Logo


Here is a logo option for LC design. We are trying to use the abbreviation as a logo because the name is too long to use in the logo. The LC also forms an "ON" symbol. This has meaning to us because we are always "on" up awake designing.

Took the daily designs to a whole new level. My first time doing this type of web layout. entire thing is custom. I know daily designs are not suppose to be so detailed but I have the time right now so I took advantage.

Some fun with smoke brushes and good 'ol fashioned type !

Day 07 - Dey-Lee Di-Zahynz


I remember seeing something with a page opening and revealing some html code a while ago and I figured i'd try the page peel effect since i've never done it, and also I figured html code fits in pretty well with this whole thing since I also develop websites.

Day 07 - Twitter Theme Design


So I got caught up in making my twitter page look nicer, so I thought i'd post two designs for today, here is the twitter page theme, i'll be posting another graphic later on today as well! Remember to check back later! Also, follow us on twitter! http://www.twitter.com/dailydesigns

I tried to combine illustrator and photoshop together but realized I've lost photoshop skills but I still got a decent result.

Day 06: Stay Green!


Today's graphic is a little bit special... I put some extra time into it :) . I originally had the idea to do a green abstract type earth with grass and trees all over it, and then this idea popped into my head ... this is my depiction of our wonderful earth burning out. Enjoy!
