How I feel going into 2012 - Had this in my sketchbook for awhile now so thought I'd finish him off. This looks like how I feel at the moment - weird, cool, naked and overly dressed all at the same time. This was pen scanned in and traced in Illustrator using the new improved live trace tools which I'm loving at the moment as there is no way I would be dedicated enough to trace this out on the computer again.

My first iPhone app! Working with the ever amazing Craig Hicks (don't tell him I said that) we've finally been able to put up a game out. It's simple and silly but it's a step in finally realizing that nothing is ever going to be perfect and just get it out and fuss later.
Basically the premise is Santa's getting ready to deliver his presents but his elf isn't making it easy. By moving Santa side to side you can help him catch all the presents and save the day.
This has been a labor of love for the most part as so far we haven't been able to sell this game enough to cover the cost of the developer license but it's still worth it. I love seeing people interact with something we've created so it's onwards and upwards to the next one!Game Design, Illustration, Interaction Design2012 -
This was an amazing site to work on. It's one of those happy times when the client gives you so much rope that you're scared you're going to hang yourself with it. I pitched the lobotomy concept and sketched out the general layout but only the the amazing talents of my team were we able to pull this off. Props out to Scott Irwin and Umer Tahir for all their hard work.
Basically the idea is that Brett has a lot going on and everyone wants to know whats in his head so we thought why not show em?Creative Direction, Illustration2012 -
This was a site we did at ZGM last year that I absolutely loved working on. I can't take all the credit on this as I had the help of Umer Tahir on design and Scott Irwin on 3D but it was the evolution of an idea I had that stemmed from an early sketch and grew into what you see below.
The Santa Tracker was a website that gave kids and their parents the ability to tour the North Pole and experience some Christmas magic. As they visited Santa’s house and workshop, they could see the latest North Pole news, make a wish in Santa’s wish book, interact with a variety of environmental elements, and watch Santa deliver presents around the world on Christmas.
Although the site isn't live now we have a test link up still at http://santatracker.dev.zgm.ca. Santa Tracker was named Site of the Day on FWA and was listed as a featured site on the Adobe homepage. It was also placed highly on a variety of top design and website lists around the world.Creative Direction, Illustration, Web Design2012 -
A collection of illustration work I've done in the past.Illustration, Cartooning2011 -
To kick things off I've collected a few designs that I've liked for one reason or another over the past few year. Some were never finished, some not chosen by the client, some were chosen and then destroyed over time. There's no rhyme or reason to the order. It's a mixture of past and present, corporate and kids, crappy and not so crappy. Either way it's an insight into my design thinking and general chaos.Design, Web Design2012
