When I asked Dr. Khazz what the name of her dental office was and she replied "Awesome Smiles" I was stoked and a bit afraid of the challenge. I mean, you can't make a less-than-awesome logo for a business that has the word Awesome in it! The challenge was designing a logo that's simple, friendly, memorable, awesome, smiley (without making it corny), non-anxiety inducing (not a huge fan of the dentist myself or anyone I know for that matter), friendly and smart, while keeping in mind that this will be used on printed material, signage, apps, the web and social media. I love my job. I really do. After a few dozen ideas, color combinations and endless vector paths in Illustrator, I, and Dr.Khazz were both excited with the result! (Many designers tried and failed before me, so... no pressure!) The design package: + Logo + Business Cards + Mailers + Signage + Brochures + Web + Social Media + Gift Cards + Car Wrap To return the challenge, I became Awesome Smile's patient myself. Below is my x-ray and it 'ain't so awesome. <img src="http://payload8.cargocollective.com/1/0/27661/2471729/notAwesomeSmile.png" border="0" width="600" height="310" width_o="600" height_o="310" src_o="http://payload8.cargocollective.com/1/0/27661/2471729/notAwesomeSmile_o.png" align="left" /> http://pixelicious.com/Geocaching-Podcast http://pixelicious.com/following/pixelicious.com/Geocaching-Podcast Fri, 14 Oct 2011 08:59:21 +0000 pixelicious 2131048 I love geocaching. I also love podcasts. The Geocaching Podcast is one of the best if you're into that type of thing. If you're not, check it out at: My Username on Geocaching is zoroe, add me! The podcast deserved a new awesome look and this design will replace the current... not so awesome one. It was mostly designed in Photoshop CS5, but elements were done in Illustrator also. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/27661/2131048/GCPodcast_redoux.png" border="0" width="600" height="600" width_o="600" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/27661/2131048/GCPodcast_redoux_o.png" align="left" /> http://pixelicious.com/Ux-Documentary http://pixelicious.com/following/pixelicious.com/Ux-Documentary Wed, 07 Sep 2011 19:01:36 +0000 pixelicious 1965437 Hira Verick collaborates with Helvetica star Gary Hustwit (Director of Helvetica and Objectified) to create a riveting documentary for Sony Ericsson.

Project Tam This was the main project I worked on, with a team made up of some of the industry's best for 2 years while at Sony Ux Creative Center in San Francisco. It's been announced and will be shipping very soon. It's a UI-less UI, elegant and clean with simple transitions and smart navigation metaphors. We solved many difficult 10 foot UI issues, such as a great and speedy text input mechanism, which is usually a very unpleasant experience. I also designed / invented a very simple but unique loader animation which was patented by Sony and done in After Effects for this project which will be used by millions of Playstation users worldwide. I designed a similar conceptual layout for Hulu+ for the Playstation that you can see below. -------------------------------- Main navigation: Animation video Main navigation <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/27661/1960757/Tam_Home_Day1_1_640.png" border="0" width="640" height="360" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/27661/1960757/Tam_Home_Day1_1_o.png" align="left" /> Pressing Right to browse movies <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/27661/1960757/Tam_Home_Day1_2_640.png" border="0" width="640" height="360" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/27661/1960757/Tam_Home_Day1_2_o.png" align="left" /> Detail screen, TV <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/27661/1960757/detailEpisode0_640.png" border="0" width="640" height="360" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/27661/1960757/detailEpisode0_o.png" align="left" /> Branded page for vendors or specials <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/27661/1960757/CollectionHalloween_noLegal1_640.png" border="0" width="640" height="360" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/27661/1960757/CollectionHalloween_noLegal1_o.png" align="left" /> HULU+ conceptual design <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/27661/1960757/hulu1-1_640.jpg" border="0" width="640" height="360" width_o="1280" height_o="720" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/27661/1960757/hulu1-1_o.jpg" align="left" /> http://pixelicious.com/I-love-logos http://pixelicious.com/following/pixelicious.com/I-love-logos Sun, 07 Aug 2011 21:30:13 +0000 pixelicious 1831539 Kingdom Affairs logo design / typography <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/27661/1831539/KA_cargo.png" border="0" width="606" height="1062" width_o="606" height_o="1062" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/27661/1831539/KA_cargo_o.png" align="left" /> http://pixelicious.com/Arts-Crafts-Munny http://pixelicious.com/following/pixelicious.com/Arts-Crafts-Munny Sun, 07 Aug 2011 18:08:43 +0000 pixelicious 1830851 Custom Munny™ // I made this custom Munny for a Sony co-worker that moved back to Japan.<img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/27661/1830851/NabuMunny copy_640.png" border="0" width="640" height="861" width_o="1062" height_o="1430" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/27661/1830851/NabuMunny copy_o.png" align="left" /> http://pixelicious.com/The-Scattered-Mind http://pixelicious.com/following/pixelicious.com/The-Scattered-Mind Sun, 07 Aug 2011 07:42:30 +0000 pixelicious 1829627 Branding exploration (logo + blog) for life coaching service, still in progress.
