second off, these are some things i want to share.
primary.
rob is blowin' up like you thought he would, call the crib, same number, same hood.
some flannel to keep you warm if i ever leave you again.

I recently entered this design competition for FRWD.us and actually won, very cool opportunity to do their identity system. The image above is a jpg of the poster that I made for the event, on the bottom of the poster is my portfolio and atop is a poster with some very preliminary sketches that I did.

flickr update.

2009-03-02T11:46:00.000-08:00

This is a project that I worked on in the spring of '08. The project was to create type in a three dimensional form and place it in a fitting environment. The word "winter" was fitting for the season for obvious reasons. The letters were installed around Lake Calhoun on a warm spring day.

2009-02-22T15:23:00.000-08:00

This is a project that I worked on fall of '08. It is a printed version of a blog that I was working on at the same time — jmckinley.webandscreen.com I had a script running on my computer that would take captures of my screen every 15 minutes. This publication documents a month of captures.

You can also look at more photos here.

2008-09-20T11:09:00.000-07:00

if you don't have a flickr account i recommend you get one so you can see the great design of uploading photos, the little pink bar moves across when photos are uploading and bounces at the right and falls down to reveal a check mark.

oh ps... maybe check out my flickr account if you are bored... i have had one for quite some time, but haven't been too active with it, so i'm going to get better with documenting what i see.

coupla spreads for my publication....

2008-09-05T21:59:00.000-07:00

this is a few spreads from the first publication design. the project was to pick a encyclopedia entry to answer. mine was where does rain come from. the idea was to fill up the pages with more water with every spread, the inner ruler indicates the page numbers by how much it is filled up. the final output was 5''x8'' with rounded corners.

does anyone have another body with a brain i can borrow right now?

school started today, and i'm about 3 weeks behind.
i recently started my job at best buy like a month and a half ago and it now looks like i'm going to have to let that job go. i don't have enough hands to juggle everything i have going on right now. between school (15 cr. [4 studios]), 2 jobs (3 including my RA job), and personal matters, i'm having trouble grabbing a hold of something to keep me grounded. someone fix my problems and get back to me when everything slows down....

thanks,

so as that a previous post showed i've been working with some letters made from ice, and yesterday i put the letters into their environment and it turned out pretty good.

sweet much?

2008-04-01T21:41:00.000-07:00

how sweet is this thing, i'm going to be using it for my photo final... should be very cool

ohh yeah, thats right, i've got a blog...

2008-03-31T18:06:00.001-07:00

hah...... i'm a funny guy... i didn't actually forget that i have a blog to maintain. i've just been busy and to be honest haven't had anything to say... even now 10 days since my last post, i don't have anything sweet to say... soo, i just scanned a sketch outta my sketchbook, so heer (*here) it is...

oh, wait.. i do have something kinda cool to share...this is my current type assignment, i did a test run and this is what i came up with. for the final i'm going to embed the letters to spell out spring within the word winter, so when it melts it reveals the word spring..

global warming...

2008-02-22T23:21:00.000-08:00

normally i'm not one to talk a lot about global warming, i simply just don't know a whole lot about it... that is not to say it is completely false idea, or 100% truth... but what i do know is if we don't take action and it does happen to be true we are screwed... and if we do take action and its nothing, we are a head of the game... watch this video to listen to someone whom is much more intelligent than myself... he does a better job explaining the whole deal than i ever could....
