3D Designs

Posted by Brad on March 20, 2009

3D design like any design is a style that is either embraced or it is shied away from. I think the latter for most is because many don’t have the capability to do it or know which tool set to use. I really believe that I would be ok if there was a 3D element in all the designs we create for North Point. Why? Because it’s dynamic. There is something No not every design NEEDS it but it seems like for years everybody has been using textures, blending modes, layers upon layers of blending modes, flat text, CLEAN layouts, etc. Why not 3D? I realize this is a very simplistic statement and a good design, even if it had 3D elements in it still needs to be well thought out, well layed out, and a talented artist thinking through the details.

So why can’t that be you.

Title Package from Browns Bridge for “Release”

Posted by Brad on March 15, 2009

So Ryan Shove is the Video director up at Browns Bridge Community Church and had the challenge of creating a title package for a two part series. He gave us a call and said “remember those ink blots you guys filmed a while back? Can I get those from you?” I then got an email the next day with what he did. Way cool. Check out his other work here
