Welcome once again to the phantom power trip. It has been a while since my last post but I have been a busy beaver. Has anyone seen the movie District 9? The only thing I know about the movie is that there are freaky aliens in it. Well anyways I had an assignment to compose a movie poster for a sequel to a movie. The only reason I chose this movie is because there were so many high resolution images from the movie on the interweb for me to use. Let me know what you think of it.

In other news, I have started an internship at 1.055 triple m. I know you are probably wondering why a video student is taking an internship at a radio station. For the past two years triple m has held an American Idol type contest for local musicians. It is called Project M. Me and three of my classmates have been hired to shoot it all so someone else can edit it and post it on the web. Last night was the first night of performances and they all sounded really good. There was one guy in particular who impressed me with his skills on the steel guitar. Last night I was in charge of shooting the interviews after each contestant performed. Everybody seems real cool and chill, like you would expect from a group of ten musicians.

Let me know if you have any thoughts on my movie poster and also here's a link to the triple m website.

It's Business Time

I had this assignment to create a logo, which is now my profile picture, and from that I decided to create a business card. I don't know if this is the card I will ultimately use but I could use some feedback on it, positive or negative. The top image is the front of the card and the bottom image would be the back of my card. This was a very long and enduring process to make the logo that was in my mind to what the logo you see now. My brother once told me of an idea of a tattoo he had. It was of a compass facing north, because the root of our last name, Nordby, means North in Norwegian. So partial credit belongs to my brother. If he decides to get that tattoo, I will design a different logo. But for the time being its MINE!!! It took me about 1 month of brainstorming and sketching before this idea came to me. I've received mostly positive feedback on this card design but if you see something with this design that you don't like, don't hesitate to let me have it. I'm a pretty tough guy, I work out. Hope you all enjoy this logo as much as I enjoyed designing it.
