Evolution of a stadium billboard advertisement →
One of my clients (ARMS - Athlete Relationship Management Software) needed a billboard design to be displayed in a university stadium. Here are some of the revisions we made, going from the first…
Diving back into my 96x96” billboard PSD. Let’s try to not be quite so much with the bombing out this time. I’m looking at you Photoshop.
Done with the billboard project, wrote up a little post about the process and final artwork here: http://bit.ly/7rxiA
Declaring today as “Fun Friday”. Working on our next release of e-Formulas iPhone app, blogging, websites, designing. Xmas music rocking it!
Getting tired of Photoshop quitting just because I’m blurring a graphic in a 8’x8’ billboard sign. Reboot time I think.
Passed my CA DMV driver’s license test today. Was actually just a renewal since I had a CA license many years ago. :)
Working on websites.
Back in Antioch from picking up mom & Craig at OAK from their trip to HI. Another beautiful day today, too bad it’s work time not play time.
Hand-drawing a spreadsheet in my notebook to track estimated tax payments so I might actually make them this year. PS - Next one is due 9/15
Poker night :)
