UPDATE 9/9/2008 - LogoLounge Book 5 Selections Completed

I made it into the book!

Upon my return from a much needed vacation, I received notice that the judging for LogoLounge Volume 5 had been completed and one of the logos I submitted was selected to be published in the book. This was my first time entering the LogoLounge competition.



Over 33,000 logos were entered for consideration and evaluated by an international panel of judges. This years panel included, Andreas Karl of Karl Design, Von Glitschka of Glitschka Studios, Michelle Sonderegger of Design Ranch, Sarah Moffat of Turner Duckworth, Jamie Koval of VSA Partners, Vince Frost of Frost Design, Bronwen Rautenbach of The Brand Union, and Alex de Janosi of Lippincott.

LogoLounge Volume 5 has a release date of June 2009.

Logo Lounge Book V - Call for Entries

For a long time now, I have wanted to work up enough nerve to submit my work in hopes of being published in a graphic design book. After some encouragement from a few of my peers and awesome support of my wife, I finally did just that.

Logo Lounge has a call for entries for their upcoming Book V and the deadline is today! Who says designers aren't procrastinators? In the previous 4 books published by Logo Lounge, I have seen a lot of my friends and colleagues have their work make the cut. It's really cool when you go through a design book and recognize the work right off the bat and impulsively say to others around you, "Hey! I know this guy, or gal!" Each published designer I know becomes an instant celebrity to me, not that I don't think highly of my designer friends already.

The majority of my work is graphic design and illustration type of projects. Rarely do I get to do logo design so this is a real treat to be able to submit my work to their site with the possibility of being published. Below is a small sample of the work I submitted for Logo Lounge Book V:


Wish me luck in having any of them published.

Not quite a year ago in the lounge on the HOW Design forum, the Traveling Roadshow thread celebrated its 3rd Anniversary. The roadshow thread is a virtual fridge where forum members from various backgrounds and disciplines can proudly post samples their past work. If mom could only see what's on the fridge now.

I was fortunate enough to have my work selected and to participate in this project by HOWies ksavage and ladycupcake, who are fellow thread contributors. I cheerfully accepted their invitation. These two HOW forum regulars then meticulously collaborated with all 12 contributors to create a limited edition set of fridge magnets.


Soon to be released to the public, this set of 12 magnets features some of the best work seen in the fridge over the past 3 years. All proceeds from the sale of the magnets will be donated to Operation Nice.

For those of you not aware, I have joined up with 3 other guys to form a business partnership. This adventure initially started with 5, but after some growing pains and differences of perspective, we are now 4. The whole idea behind Cinq was a group of 5 partners. This foundation metaphor quickly evolved and through consensus, we chose to base Cinq on five distinct principles of design rather than 5 people. After all, design is what we are all about.

Cinq adheres to balance, proportion, rhythm, emphasis, and unity, not just from an aesthetic perspective, but from a philosophical and spiritual view-point as well. We explore, capture, create, communicate, and grow in every step we take to meet our objective of being a successful design and communications firm.

Please enjoy the cards we had printed by The Mandate Press.
