Some old Twitter Backgrounds





I think Twitter is a pretty fun way to communicate with a captive audience. I think it gets even better when you can brand that communication with a nice clean look. Here is a background that I used for Texas State Athletics.

Note that it gives some great information on contacting the department for tickets and such. The more exposure the better!

The second is for a fan page for the Crossmen Drum And Bugle Corps in San Antonio. My buddy is their tour director and I am a big fan myself having marched in a corps in 2001.

I wanted their name to be prominent plus i wanted their symbol 'Bones' to be slightly visible in the corner--paying tribute to his mystic essence and shrouded appearance throughout the corps' decorated history.

Give them what they want...


I caught wind that some hardcore fans really liked the concept of a campaign the Red Sox did a few years back that asked their fans to 'Believe".

The design utilized the team's signature "B". They asked for someone to mock it up using Texas State's "B", I figured it would be fun to give the fans something that helped them express their excitement for this year's baseball season.

Wrap up and Preview


We added this 'thank you' page to our website that thanks our fans for their support this season in helping both teams earn a regular season championship.

I wanted to include elements that will help us transition into next week's page, and a list of all of the championships we won this year.

WEEEE ARE THE CHAMPIONS....AGAIN!


Here is the design that I designed for the 2009 Softball Conference Champion t-shirt.

The turnaround time on this piece was small at best, as I had very little time to work on a design on top of some other major projects going on at the time.

It reminds me of a Transformer's head. What do you all think?

Our 2009 Season is just around the corner!!!




It's time to start building up the excitement for our 2009 season!

This is a splash page that is going up on TXSTATEBOBCATS.COM in a few weeks, but it really captures the visual identity that we are going to take for the 09-10 campaign. I wanted to go for that epic look. For some strange reason, most TXST fans don't really get excited so the task at hand was to create a campaign that stimulated their desire for a top caliber team. As the defending conference champions, they definitely have the ability, now I am trying to give them the look!

The season tickets for football are complete! Here are the flats that will be sent to all season ticket holders in a few weeks!

More to come as pieces become available!
