PHR Article: Make Your Own Badges

Popular Hot Rodding had me work on some emblem designs for their project Violent Valiant.
Quick design ideas for PHR's Violent Valiant project car

I came up with a few variations, but we decided to go with the design that simply manipulated some stock elements into a custom piece.  The whole design and prototyping process is documented in the magazine.

Bilstein's "Just Add" Sweepstakes

I've been working with Source Interlink Media and Bilstein designing the "Just Add" sweepstakes vehicles.  At the beginning of the sweepstakes voters on Facebook picked their favorite vehicle (an F-150, Mustang, or BMW 3-Series).

The BMW 335i was picked by Bilstein's Facebook fans as the favorite and voting moved into round two, where fans would now vote on which paint scheme would adorn the BMW.
Round two of Bilstein's "Just Add" sweepstakes gave fans
the chance to vote on which paint scheme they liked best
Bilstein's customers are design savvy and picked the design which was also my favorite, phase one.  Simplicity kicked some butt in this project!  Be sure to sign up at: http://www.justaddbilstein.com/
