Calling Creatives & Developer Freelancers
Friday, August 13th, 2010
We are trying to gauge interest in a creative co-op with other freelancers in the area. We are opening up the idea to website/graphic designers, developers, copywriters, architects, and photographers. If you are in other creative professions, we are open to you as well. We want to provide a low-cost creative environment for you to call your office that isn’t your home, or the coffee shop.
We have tried working from home, and it sucks. We have also experienced a community of creative people that bounce ideas off of each other, and it rocks. That is what we are creating, so let us know if you want in.
Email coop@level2d.com if you have any questions, or if you are interested.

This weeks edition comes from the offices near Amigo’s on Dayton Blvd. The font looks a bit like Eddmond Bold, but I am not sure of that.

BEING CLEAR on WHAT YOU WANT
Thursday, May 6th, 2010
We’ve all been in personal relationships that are going along just fine when one party decides they need to ‘define’ the relationship. You know how that can go especially if you are the one seeking the definition. Either you arrive with a well rehearsed set of questions and reasoned responses (rare result) and your relationships advances and flourishes…or you drive home kicking yourself for sounding vague, never making your point or being just plain incoherent (likely result). (more…)
Sketching: Ideas On Paper
Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010
Developing concepts and ideas for a website design, icon or logo, or any type of graphic development can seem like an overwhelming task at times. No matter how many websites you have created or logos you’ve developed, the creative process is always something that can take a lot out of you. True, there are days when this process seems to come as easily and naturally as walking or breathing, but those days come about less often then I would care to admit. This is where sketching, for me, enters the picture (no pun intended). Sketching out ideas and concepts helps me quickly sift throughout the ideas trapped inside my head. I must admit, I do spend a bit too much time in this phase of the project because of my love for it.
Layout sketches for Zoowee Music. Developed layout for container that would hold Artist profile, album list, songs, etc.
Thanks to an extremely talented artistic mother, I have been sketching obsessively since I was young. Thankfully web and graphic design gives me an outlet to put this obsession to use. Sketching out layouts for websites is essential to my process, but I really enjoy icon and graphic development. This is where the pen and pencil really helps me plan out how an objects or graphics will end up being rendered on the computer.
Zoowee Icon Development
Sketch for Zoowee Dashboard Graphics. Depicting the monitoring and managment of your Zoowee Bubbles.
Launch Icon Development
Rocky Horton helped me discover the graph paper moleskin (I know, I know its typical designer to carry this around but it fits so well into my bag and they are so easy to keep organized) which has really helped with sketches for websites and logos. Its a wonder I didn’t make this connection sooner (living in a pixel based world).
Layout sketch for Addicted to the Outdoors
I’ll post a follow-up to this with more of my sketches once I get my sketch books together. This just happens to be the sketchbook sitting in front of me at the time, but I will sift through the boxes I have at home and post some more detailed images and more on my process in my next post.

These are in no way ending up on Friday. However, I will keep calling them that until they finally do end up on Friday.
Here is some very cool letter-form that is near downtown Chattanooga that I have been meaning to photograph for a while now. Let me know your thoughts.

Found Letterform Friday
Saturday, July 4th, 2009
It’s actually Saturday, but I’m going to try to make this a Friday staple on the blog. I found an old Ford Bronco yesterday that had a fantastic font used for the name “Bronco” on the side. Below are the pictures of the font, and the Bronco itself.
Whoever’s Bronco this is… I like it.
Found Letterform
Friday, June 19th, 2009
I love found letterform. Mostly in vintage 3d signage like the one on our website. However, old or new, I like to see well played out letterform. Here are a few photos I have taken of some that I like. I will probably try to make a found-letterform post everyweek of found 3-dimensional letters I find. Enjoy.
Extra points if anyone can tell us where all of these photos are from. Anyone who can get them all exactly right will get a free custom Level 2 Design poster.
