I am currently in the process of adding some new portfolio items. It's been a long time since I've been able to submit updates so this one's been long overdue. Of the new items, two are online games.

Here I take you through the process of designing a logo and accompaning marketing materials for a company. In short, you first need to capture a personality that describes the company. Then you should just run with it. Sometimes you may wonder, "Is this a little over the top?" If you're thinking this, it may be a good sign.

Automator and iCal is all the software you need to make your Mac record shows while you're away. If you're like me and you don't have a VCR, this little tip will let you record shows while you're in class. (Or anywhere else you may be.)

It's probably been a good 3 years now since I've had a completed online portfolio. After many redesigns, I can finally say that is no longer the case. I officially welcome you to the new JoshuaTree Designs!
