Today Jared launched a competition on youtube to design his youtube partners side block. After about 45 minutes of toiling around inkscape I created this. I know it’s not really my best, work but i think it’s pretty entertaining. Hopefully Jared will share this common liking.
Anyway the competition ends on the 10th of October. I’m [...]

After a two and half week hiatus the Go Green Campaign is finally back on track. For those of you who don’t quite know what this is all about, I’ll explain it briefly. This is an unsponsored event in which I create an advertisement campaign for an imaginary company. Throughout the campaign I will produce [...]

A complete collection of the last nine banners on Jesstalks (in case you missed them). Featuring images from Labor day to the end of the world.
However my favorite would have to be the nighttime sleeping one. I thought it looked really great on the page and brought forward a nice atmosphere. If [...]

The Bebo advertisement I created for omgupload is running a test drive on a few small advertisement placements. Where are the ads running? Well… they are running here, on these sites:
Yes, I’m not going to give you the exact urls of the websites. I do not want anyone to tamper with the hit rates the [...]

I honestly don’t know why I even bother with concept sketches. I never follow the designs that I originally intended to create. I suppose I just work better when I’m at the table with a blank slate and my only goal is to create. (No pun intended) However this time around I did have a [...]

Omgupload.com has offered me the opportunity to produce another advertisement for them. This time it’s for the social networking site Bebo. This is another upscale type website with pretty steep advertising costs. Thank god for Google Ad Sense. Anyway I have one particular design concept that I would like to work on.
I don’t know how [...]

Last night it was announced that my banner has won the design contest hosted by omgupload.com! This is quite a surprise to me. I’ve seen alot of the other entries posted on the forums and many were better then mine, in my opinion. I suppose the main reason that mine had a chance was because [...]

Well… They’re in. That’s right, my omgupload banner contest submission has finally been sent. I’m up against some tough competition this time around so I have no idea how this is going to playout. All I can say is, I’ll be glad to know I won (or lost) against some amazing art.
What I find to [...]

Pictured above is another concept I have for my omgupload.com 200×100 banner submission. The only problem as you may have noticed is that I’ve done the sketch in a larger dimension (390×230). I was just experimenting around with a design so I didn’t start off in the correct dimension specs.
Right now I’m trying to resize [...]

I’m having trouble deciding on a concept that I want to use for my omgupload.com banner entry. I’ve thought of a few, but I don’t think that they are too graphically pleasing to the eye. The user may ended up distracted by something other than the main point – omgupload.com.
These are my first few concepts. [...]

A few weeks ago (maybe a few days ago?) I posted something about my omgupload.com banner submission entry. A few minutes ago I found out that they have selected it as their winning entry. I’m pretty ecstatic about this win even though it shouldn’t be that much of a deal. I guess the [...]

This is my submission for the omgupload.com banner competition. Hosted on Habbos.net. I’m not sure how many entries there are because all entries were to be submitted by private message.
I find the prizes quite generous for a simple banner ad: 10 Club sofas on Habbo.com.au, Banner featured on alexa.com [...]

Logged on to youtube today. Saw Dave’s channel (by now you probably know I’m obsessed with his music). Then Nearly Exploded when I saw that he used the bannersr I made for him. I never in a million years thought he would use them. I expected him to just glance at them and then sort [...]
