Online portfolios


Carsonified is a bit cartoony for me, but I like the 2-color scheme, the consistent feel throughout, the navigation and the scroll-through work with explanatory text. The arrows help you get through everything.

Other identity design concepts





I like the look of the identity project here.

There's a strong shape (the diamond) that is used throughout, often as a home for text over an image. Type is small but legible. Modern but not too linear. There's a playfulness to everything.

New Swipe: Music Packaging?

Music is now a medium without a tangible, see-it-feel-it real-world identity. The albums, cassettes and cds are disappearing. Plus, you don't talk to the record store owner.



Live shows still excite all the senses, but if you want the music, you just look them up on iTunes, a band website or myspace.

Lots of answers to this problem are popping up. iPhone skins, cool usb dongles, etc.



T-shirts are a big part of it now.
Maybe there's something interesting to do in this space.

Physical things aren't as good for sharing (the internet's better). But what's the thing about music that needs to be incarnated in the physical world, and how can it best be done?
