Laie Point Photo

I added this photo to my personal blog, but it got good enough feedback I decided to throw it up here also. I took this at the Laie Point, Oahu. The time was around 6:45 am. This is the view that I see from my house. I can see most of this panorama sitting on the couch in my front room, while looking out the door! This was a beautiful sunrise.

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?

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.

BYU Hawaii Desktop Wallpaper

I was actually working on a video project using this type of design. When we decided that we werent going to use that video, I didn't want to waste the design, so I turned it into a computer desktop wallpaper for BYU Hawaii. I use it on many computers I use daily to show some school pride. I think its time to do another one too!

Devotional Attitude

This was one of my first projects at BYU Hawaii. I was asked to create an entire campaign for promoting devotionals, which kind of expanded into just promotion of devotion.

After researched I narrowed down the reasons to attend devotionals into 3 main categories: Spiritual, community, and leadership. I talked with Bill Wallace, known as Uncle Bill, and he helped me select some symbols to represent the three themes. I didn't do much with this for a while, until my boss, Duane, came and said one day at about 3, "I need poster designs to show at Presidents council tomorrow".

So I whipped these up in a few hours. They haven't made it to print, but the Hawaiian theme will likely be kept. Someone else is doing most of the project now.
