The other night a designer buddy of mine came over for the BCS National Championship game and brought with him a six-pack of Leffe Blonde Belgian Ale. Beer Advocate ranks it a B overall.

This is an aged (distressed) full resolution photoalbum spread. The high-res download is 90 mb (300 dpi, 16.5″ x 11.125″, RGB). Again, there [...]
This shot was taken with my iPhone 3GS in Starbucks, Eastchase. I decided to take my 3-year-old, Kaylee, to get a cup of hot chocolate before heading out to daycare—she was thrilled! She’s such a “big girl”. It’s amazing at how fast they grow up. Oh, and btw… Starbucks will make kids hot chocolate at [...]
I had a love for drawing and art as a kid, so being a designer was just a logical career field for me to pursue.Brad Jackson
So Brad, I’m going to start with a question I ask most of the designers I interview… In this day and age when so many designers are becoming a one-stop-shop, How would you describe yourself? Web Designer, Developer, Print Designer, Photographer or all of the above? I lean more so to print design with photography [...]
