Wakeboarding New Zealand

While I was in the New Zealand wakeboard scene I was also creating marketing material for events, these we’re a nice chance to have printed works and the design of posters would often flow into other materials for an event.

The Big Payback

The French

Last night when I was half scribbling in a note book and half paying attention to some really cool french movie we have on hard drive it got me thinking.
I should really get back there one day soon and pick up a few more copies of Be Street mag when I do or at least find the last copy I had, all I remember over where it is the cover had been ripped off it.

Fight or Flight

I haven’t been skating in way too long but it still inspires me most days, I should probably finish this design but on the chance I don’t I’ll leave it here to find again another day.

Canterbury Homekill’s new logo

After getting rid of the cartoon bull wearing a butchers get up I came up with this to serves as the new logo for Canterbury Homekill. They were after something strong and powerful with the idea of cross hairs on the bulls skull so a few concepts later and here we are.
skulls and slab serif

Page Title Finds Tagged Post Code?

I’ve been playing around with this little piece of code,

$tag = preg_replace('/^ +/','',wp_title('',false));
$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
query_posts("paged=$paged&tag=$tag");
?>

It took way too long to find and learn how to use but I’ve got it on NZwakeboard in the riders pages such as Josho’s, That find’s any tagged post and brings them in on a page with the same name, it can be done in easier ways by using tag templates but I’ve got another project in mind that I think it could really help with. But that’s waiting on more than one thing to fall into place before I can get it sorted, till then I’m gonna keep playing with the code and seeing if I can use it better. So, for now, throw it under the regular loop and then create another loop the same after this code and it will bring up the posts.

The North Island Wakeboard Champs 2012

It turns out my computer doesn’t really like creating 3D text in photoshop so this took a while to go from concept to completion and after a whole number of different tries to give the text the effect I ended up going with Repousse tool and as quite often happens the final image is quite different to the initial concept but I’m happy so if you can make it get on down, Facebook event here.
