The past few days I have been getting requests, from my old site, to create a desktop version of the Phillies iPhone Wallpaper I created last year during the playoffs. Luck for all of you I had made a desktop version for myself and now I am giving it to all of you Phanatics!

So go on, show your support for the Fight’n Phils with this desktop!

Swordfish Corp. is the consulting firm founded and operated by Ben Metcalfe. After the success of the Seesmic branding, Ben, asked if I could tackle their logo. This project came to my attention during my involvement with Round3Media.

I was instructed that the font was intended to be an intricate part of the brand. In various concepts I tried to use the font’s characters to create a “type” based design. Sitting at my desk, typing some incorrect syntax into the Terminal, I had a thought about old school BBS sites. The ASCII art on these sites was superb and drawing a “fish” using a few characters was common practice on a few. Needless to say it inspired me!

While teaching my Web Design class at UArts a student asked if I could give some examples of Portfolio sites. So here is a list of some of my favorite Portfolio style sites on the web. http://cameronmoll.com/portfolio/ http://www.fullyillustrated.com/ http://www.mindnever.com/ http://emotionslive.co.uk/ http://www.karaburke.net/prints.php Enjoy!
