Circle Island Tour CD Design

A few people from school commissioned me to make a CD cover for their company which just produced an audio tour of Hawaii. Its pretty cool from what I have heard. Good info about different locations.

At first I made a sort of collage design with a grunge background but they told me they liked the design I did for the choir tour, so I abandoned that track and did another sunset type design. So, let me know. But here are the designs.

The map was a bit challenging. It was hard to make a large map and fit all the directions on. I still need to add some things they want on.

Another BYUH Desktop Wallpaper

Today I didn't have too many projects going on so I took a creative holiday and made a new wallpaper for my computer...long overdue. I may play more with this later. I like the design, but the large amount of white on the ship is a little distracting with a lot of icons on the computer. It was fun though. I think I'm going to try doing one that's a little lighter next time. Any suggestions?

Sea Side Story - Motion Graphics

This was a fun little side project. Ryan Dean, another worker here at BYU Hawaii, directed and produced and edited a short film for a film festival here on campus. He asked me to help make a cool title sequence. So, I opened up After Effects and tried to have a little fun with the little time I had. This was the result (I start the video just before the graphics, so dont be confused if you dont know whats going on).

I also ended up filming part of this documentary. You can watch the whole thing on youtube here. Its a funny mockumentary about dance gangs at BYU Hawaii. Rather entertaining, and worth watching. It was awarded first place at the schools film festival (based solely on the graphics...ha ha, just kidding! Ryan did a good job!)

Ryan also made a commercial for a whale watching company. I helped to film it, but was swamped with finals and work the week we needed to edit, so I wasn't able to do much more than just log tapes. So I did have a part in this, but credit goes to Ryan. Click here to watch the Whale watching documentary.

Harmony with Aloha

One of the first projects that I was assigned to was the BYU Hawaii choir tour in China. There are many products of this project. The first was an audio cd which featured all the songs the choir sang on their tour in China and Mongolia. I was asked to create the CD cover and label. What you see is the finished product. It was printed on hundreds of CDs and distributed.

I have also been involved in making motion graphics for the video documentary. If you click here, you can see a segment of what I produced. It is an animated title sequence. It starts just over 1/3 of the way through the clip and is the only animation, so its easy to pick out. I also made some lower third titles that show the names of people as they are interviewed for this film. I will probably show these later when the show is finished.
