Secrets of The Best Designers & Illustrators
Here's a nice article on the secrets of the best designers and illustrators. There are some really good tips here but one that really stood out to me is Tip #9, which relates to software integration.
"Take advantage of software integration. I create artwork in Illustrator and develop it in Photoshop. Vector elements pasted into Photoshop become Smart Objects that can be subjected to treatments like adjustment layers, masks, and smart filters–great for creating subtleties of texture and color that are lacking in designs made purely in Illustrator."
This is one area that we are most proficient with. Integrating Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign and 3D Applications such as Modo and Lightwave is a huge strength of ours. We are constantly working with multiple applications in order to achieve the desired effect. You'd be surprised at the subtleties you can get when all applications are working in harmony.

Houston Airport Barricade
You know those large graphics you see in malls and airports that hide the construction of new stores? We recently finished a design for a 19ft x 11ft barricade for an upcoming Red Mango store located at the Houston Airport.

New Year. New Company.
It's a new year and change is in the air. After 8 years as a founding partner and creative director of Black Eye Digital, I've decided to start anew. I struggled with the decision for over a year before realizing that it was the right thing to do. I will definitely miss my co-workers as well as the strong relationships I had with our long-term clients and hope to have an opportunity to work with them again in the future. I'm looking forward to building something new and exciting and I think Day One Creative Services is just that – New and Exciting! I have a lot of plans for this website so please check back often or subscribe to the RSS feed for this page to keep up with us.
