Take a few NASA images and some inspiration from DEEP IMPACT (film) and I have an ad for a client who was going to launch something big in the Amiga market which never happened.
No more retro art – boss wanted me to redo our classic ad and I had like a day to do this. The lightning bolt was an effect in our ImageFX package. Never found anything better. I still own the source code for this effect if anyone is interested in making a Photoshop plugin!
Another ad with me playing with vintage photos. I still have that book somewhere. Anyways, we’d just acquired a 3D rendering package and we were working on a new version. Thus, the idea in this was that we’d just baked up something new.
I went through a period, during my Nova Design years, of taking old vintage photos and changing them into adverts for our software. The woman here was originally holding a soundmaker of some sort. Putting the box in her hand was easy – it was surprising tedious to add ‘3.0’ to all the balloons and curve…
Part of the same April Fools gag with the retro-lunchbox. The box image is just faked up with Photoshop as was the logo. The clipart woman was from a public domain book of vintage art and photos.
A flyer design for an old friend. The client provided lots of clipart and I provided layout.
Created for an April Fool’s gag back in the late 1990s for my company Nova Design, Inc. I created an entire line of ads, product shots, and collectibles for our company from the 1960s.
Created for our local haunted house’s portrait gallery. Manipulated a classic portrait 1570s Clelia Farnese by Jacopo Zucchi. Altered expression, skin, color balance and added lots and lots of snakes.
My late son Haydn holding his dog Penny. He took the original photos – but she moved her head so I color corrected and replaced her blurred head with another photo he’d taken before.
