Back to the Future: The Videogame?!!

Ross Wineinger — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 20:32:05 +0000

Hey, I found this little diddy post worthy, mainly because the Back to the Future trilogy is one of the most fun and original movies to date. It’s iconic for me as a child of the 80′s and a possibility of a videogame is simply awesome! Behold below!

This is just a fan made mod, which means they’ve created a level and modified the computer game Crysis to create this little gem. It’s amazingly detailed and accurate to the movie as well. Now don’t mind the gun, it’s just part of the original game the mod was modified from. I’m hoping a true game developer will see this, and think of the possibilities. Who knows, within a few years, this may come to fruition! Thanks to Aint It Cool News for the highlight.

Alice in Wonderland-The Trailer

A few weeks back I posted a picture of the Mad Hatter from Tim Burton’s new film Alice in Wonderland. Now a teaser trailer has been released that premiered at Comic-Con. Behold below!

That Chestire Cat freaks me out! I don’t know if I could handle that in 3D…

Finally- a sequel to Tron.

I’ve been salavating over all the coolness of Comic-Con ’09, and the highlight for me was the new Tron: Legacy trailer. The fact that this will also be 3-D seals the deal for me. I thank you Disney, for taking your sweet time to create a sequel to one of the greatest sci-fi movies. Check out the official site at www.flynnlives.com.

Tim Burton + Alice in Wonderland = Extremely Anticipated

Ross Wineinger — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 19:18:32 +0000

I myself wasn’t that thrilled with Burton’s incarnation of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, however, I’m hoping he’ll redeem himself with his current project, “Alice in Wonderland”. I stumbled upon an article over at aintitcool.com who had this amazing picture to share.

A Very Merry UnBirthday!

I’m in! This looks to be VERY Burtonesque, and in his true form!

Portfolio Highlight: Mt. Hood Jazz Band CD Cover

Ross Wineinger — Wed, 27 May 2009 09:33:39 +0000

This was a CD cover and inlay created for the Mt. Hood Jazz Band using Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop CS4. For the design, the intent was to capture the feel of jazz within the cover-raw, edgy and underlying elegance. The music notes used in the design are adapted from one of the tracks “Georgia On My Mind”.

Portfolio Highlight: Stylized Iconic Illustration-Typewriter

Ross Wineinger — Wed, 27 May 2009 09:17:38 +0000

This project was to take an ordinary object, and create a stylized iconic illustration of said object, in addition to five emotional variations of the same illustration. The object that I selected was a typewriter. These could be used as a blog icon or gravatar-see my header above.

Portfolio Highlight: Alam Cocoa

Ross Wineinger — Wed, 27 May 2009 09:04:28 +0000

The purpose of this project was to illustrate the ideation process in which a visual identity system was created for a theoretical cocoa company that is a member of the World Cocoa Foundation. This included determining a name for the company relevant to the country of origin, creating a logo, and developing product packaging for three sample products. The country selected was Indonesia. The company that was created was Alam Cocoa, a company that specializes in organic chocolate products.

Portfolio Highlight: Dave’s Killer Bread

Ross Wineinger — Wed, 27 May 2009 08:47:12 +0000

For a school project, we were asked to choose a brand or product that we love, and re-design their current logo. I selected Dave’s Killer Bread, which is a local successful bread company. The current logo, while fun and playful, undermines the quality of the product, and could be perceived as “cheap”, when the bread itself averages $5.00 a loaf. The intent for the redesign of the logo was to enhance the logo, giving their quality product the recognition it deserves, but while maintaining the integrity of the original logo and illustration. The solution was to re-create the arm, remove the balloon text, and used Gill Sans Bold to call attention to the logo.

Disclaimer: Dave’s Killer Bread did not commission me for this redesign, nor are they affliated with the redesign in anyway. This was simply a school exercise. They make the best quality organic bread, and once you try it, you won’t buy anything else. Trust me, it’s killer!

Portfolio Highlight: Bright Future

Ross Wineinger — Wed, 27 May 2009 08:18:43 +0000

Bright Future is a non-profit organization who’s primary goal is to focus on the health and wellness of children in schools. I created a complete visual package including logo, stationery, and three magazine ads as well. The logo was created in a way to convey a positive look, with fun and vibrant colors. The magazine ads were to take a soft hearted look at how times have changed, highlighting three important issues within our schools.
