It’s been an incredible experience photographing the hero images for the Rhode Island Computer Museum’s new “Data Storage” feature on their website. As part of a recently awarded humanities grant, RICM is developing a public-facing digital archive that traces the fascinating evolution of media storage—from early analog formats to the digital devices we use today….
This is a slightly unconventional Photo Story. It’s part history lesson, part process, and part surprise ending. What initially began as inspiration from an early 1900’s photographer ended up turning into artwork being created with today’s most modern technology. An interesting twist to these final images presented below. After reviewing the video and the process…
The inspiration for the above animation was driven by handcrafted quill type. If you Google “paper quill type” you’ll see samples and it’s quite amazing. Before the animation was conceived I first tried my hand at making a static rendering. I made the 2d shapes in Illustrator and then brought them into Cinema 4D to…
I’ve been using a free app called Video Monkey for a few years now. Video Monkey is a video encoding application for Mac OSX and it does an excellent job at transcoding media files. I usually use it as my final deliverable render, meaning it does the last encoding pass before I send the video…
Here’s a follow-up video to a very popular iOS Notes scanning video I made about one year ago. In this video you will learn how to add watermarks, signatures, text and other elements to your scanned documents.
In this video I will share an experiment I have been exploring in Adobe Illustrator trying to make isometric illustrations using the 3-D “extrude and bevel” effect.
About one year ago I tried my hand at the Daily Logo Challenge. My approach (which you can read about here!) was to create 3d renderings from my sketches. After I started building the first few designs I realized that, if given the time, I could also animate the designs in a fun and whimsical…
I’ve always felt that shape and form were powerful design elements. This most likely entered my conscience by looking through a camera lens and also by viewing the photographic works of Paul Strand. Years later I was reintroduced to this topic while viewing the design work of Malcom Grear who throughout his career mastered the…
Looking for a fast and easy way to scan documents? Look no further than your default Notes app on your iPad or iPhone! We’ve all been in a situation where we need to quickly get a copy of a document so we tend to take a photograph using the camera app on our phone. This…
Slater Mill is a historic textile mill in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. The outside grounds are free to walk around. You can also pay to take a tour of the interiors of the mill buildings. There are a few mill buildings, but the one subject you don’t want to miss is the water falls. If going…
