Best business card I’ve ever made. Dan Bennett.

This business card is the best business card I will ever, and can ever produce. I should retire at the top.

Also, I tried to bring myself to make a typo, but i just couldn’t go that low.

Jeremy Sciarappa – Dark Screen Films

I did the logo design as well (which appears on the back), but that was a separate project and, in internet terms, ancient history.

Also, I realized I should probably be watermarking my images and not putting ultra high resolution versions up on the internet.

Anywho, some card-age!

Go to any linux terminal.
Type:
for (( ; ; )); do echo -n "BACONSTRIPS&"; sleep 0.05; done
Press Enter.
Win.

I want to play more Star Wars: The Old Republic

Now that the beta weekend is over, I’m trying to force DC Universe Online into a Star Wars shaped hole in my chest.

I have not been successful.

December 15th can’t come soon enough. That is all. If you were fortunate enough to have played the beta, you know this feeling well.

More business cards

I celebrated Thanksgiving in an old-fashioned way. I invited everyone in my neighborhood to my house, we had an enormous feast, and then I killed them and took their land.

So, very simple. I took the exact same set of -2, 0, +2 exposure (A-lock) pictures and used the exact same settings to photoshop-auto-merge into HDR. This is (in my opinion) a decent study of HDR and aperture settings. I wanted to do way more, but it was unseasonably cold and I called it quits after only a few shots (12 to be exact, with 3 focal screw ups)
I am definitely going to find a better composition and repeat this experiment but with ISO as well. A true full factorial experimental design. Maybe if I can, I’ll paste in a poll and get feedback and figure out statistically what affects general appeal, and the weight of which each factor carries.

More business cards, for another coworker. Seems this is my place in life, and I’m 100% okay with it. Making business cards is a ton of fun.

Matthew J Buhler

This is a love letter to my dear coworker, Matt. We’ve shared a desk together, and according to NCIS’s hacking walkthrough, we shared a keyboard (if you haven’t seen the NCIS double hack above you are SERIOUSLY missing out).

He’s a good programmer, but he liked the simplistic and clean designs of the business cards I put up, and asked me to make him one. At first he was like WTF J. But then he was like zomg J. I made a monogram, and business card, and now it’s on his soon-to-be website! (http://matthewjbuhler.com/)
Here’s the business card/monogram/logo/etc.
