Sort of an idea from another forum but...

So a lot of skullbrainers are in the design industry or have a great interest in it. I figured this thread could be where some would post cool random things they're doing or show off projects they've been working on. :)

For example..

I messed around and did these today. Screwing around with the jpeg code of an image and then seeing what you get out of it:

Anyone else want to participate?

Sweet illustration! :D

Clicking the website link I was expecting an actual magazine :lol: still cool none the less.

Tried messing with a .gif to see what that did. Not very much. :lol:

Love the illustration for the shirt Michael. I really appreciate how consistent you are in terms of quality, and stylistically. Keep us posted on when it comes out or how to get one.
I'm too tired from designing crap all day to mess around with fun stuff...but I love the idea of this thread to see what other folks are up to!

Sweet! Yeah, I remember seeing someone do it a year ago or so and I tried to figure out how could I even get to the code of a jpeg but didn't figure it out. Picked up a magazine just the other day and low and behold a tutorial was there on pretty much how to do it!

It's a bit of a pain working with a PC though, because TextPad doesn't let you cut "null characters" so i'm really limited to what I could mess around with, but also adding your own text can create interesting things too.

I'm always too burnt out from doing corporate stuff all day to do any personal stuff
but here's an old concept I did for a friend's identity from a few years back.

That jpeg code glitch stuff is great! Definitely going to play around with that some.

Here's the birth announcement that I did for my son. Unfortunately never got these printed, but I'm thinking about getting them done soon and sending them out late. I was going to have them letterpressed, with the gray dots being depressed but not printed.

Was just joking about that bit. Last I heard the accusation was bogus and was from a girlfriend who's made similar ones to men in the past.

But I did read that Wrest just got two-years probation lol

Thinking about making die-cut holographic stickers out of this:
