Wallpaper of the week! #2

Lit­tleBIG­Planet is a semi-new release for the PS3. This game has far exceeded my expec­ta­tions. I can­not describe how great this game really is to play, hear and see. From a gamer’s point of view, I feel it is eas­ily my favorite side-scroller since Super Mario Bros.

From a designer’s point of view, I am thrilled. The game incor­po­rates an almost flaw­less user inter­face that is very fun & easy to use. The level design is bril­liant & the char­ac­ters are just plain rad.
The heads behind Lit­tleBig­Planet is the game devel­oper Media Mol­e­cule.

The music of Lit­tleBig­Planet is awe­some. The game includes such artists as:
DJ Krush — ‘Song 2
Cafe Tacuba — ‘Volver A Comen­zar
Kinky — ‘Corn­man
Bat­tles — ‘Atlas
The Go! Team — ‘Get it Together
Jim Noir — ‘My Patch

James Pants — ‘Rhythm Trax 7
Toumani Diabate’s Sym­met­ric Orches­tra — ‘Tapha Niang
Nov­el­tones — ‘Left Bank Two
Ananda Shankar — ‘Danc­ing Drums
and more…

Daniel Pem­ber­ton, com­poser of numer­ous tele­vi­sion and film scores since the late 90’s, is respon­si­ble for a few tracks includ­ing the intro. Daniel released an album you can pur­chase on iTunes called Lit­tleBIG­Mu­sic. While many of the tracks included are to be found in the title, other artistes con­tributed to the exten­sive selec­tion in the game.

Last but not least, a tasty wall­pa­per for your enjoyment!

Bombshell Salon — Gift Certificates

Some gift cer­tifi­cates I made for a local hair salon called the “Bomb­shell”. The idea was to keep it retro and grungy with­out spend­ing too much time on a free design. This was acom­plished by using a sim­ple cir­cles with a dirty tex­tured paper over­layed. The stick­ers are lame I know, but hey.

The won­der­ful logo was designed by Ariel Hitch­cock.

Mmmm, cookies

Head­ing to my par­ents in Hay­den Lake to dec­o­rate the xmas tree has always been a tra­di­tion. My step-mom Loretta is quite good at keep­ing up those tra­di­tions, includ­ing start­ing a few new ones. The grand­kids always get to ice the christmas-cookies, and this year I made it out early enough to par­take in the fun!
