Enerdyne Power Systems Website

I recently completed a web design project for a local NC company, Enerdyne Power Systems. Enerdyne is a energy company that utilizes the methane gas emitted from decomposing trash to generate power. Methane gasses emitted from our landfills are collected, then converted to natural gas to power generators and offset energy utilized by the landfill itself or surrounding industries. Enerdyne wanted a site that would give them a cutting edge look and feel while also organizing all their past projects, photos and awards in a easily navigable concise site. The look and feel of the site was inspired from some previous work I had done for their trade show materials. I wanted the two to feel consistent—a staple in creating a well designed brand.

QSI Logo Design

Time for another logo design. I've been so swamped lately—which is why I have not been posting anything at all! With planning a wedding, buying a house and trying to balance a full plate of freelance along with a full-time job is not easy. I finished up this QSI logo a couple of weeks ago for a local Security Systems company that also specialized in home networking. The client was looking to shorten the name to QSI rather than Quantum Security Innovations. They looked to me to harness their services and give the old identity a face lift. Below are samples from the logo designs and stationary suite.











Here are some of the versions that did not make the cut.

Advance One Logo Design

I've been super busy lately doing a whole bunch of freelance work (recession, resmession... I'm swamped!). AAA is keeping me busy as well and I'll be throwing up some more stuff over the weekend. Lately I've been working on a logo design for a development company who mainly deals with land development. I wanted to give them some options that really portrayed the strength of their company while showing that they also could take on any development task and have the equipment to do so. Let me know what you think.

AAA Billboards

Just thought I would post these billboards I recently finished up for AAA. The designs are meant to show the versatility of the cards and how each member uses it on activities and interests that fit their lifestyle. They will be placed in Grenville, SC, Mount Pleasant, SC and Greensboro, NC.

Chiropractor Logo

The onset of springs brings forth a new sense of hope. Or at least this is the mindset I am trying to keep. With all this talk of recessions and job loss its hard to keep a strong, positive mental outlook. Well Stout Ideas is busier than ever so far in 2009 and trying to hold strong to that optimism. This surge in business explains the lack of posts and website advances—or at least that's my excuse.

Anyway I've been busy with some new shirt designs, a complete Web design for Enerdyne Power Systems and Advance One Development. I've also been working on a logo for a chiropractic and soft tissue sports rehabilitation office. Below are some samples. No telling whats in store for Stout Ideas, the future looks bright. I've been busy at AAA Carolinas and will try to get some samples up soon on the portfolio page.

New Porfolio Items

I put up a summary of images that I think streamline some of my better photographs. I also added some web design examples. It's a slim collection but I hope to change that in '09. Drop me a line and let me know what you think.

Happy New Year

Holy cow man! Where did 2008 go? I mean tax time already - this stinks! I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday, a great new year and is ready for a action-packed year in 2009. I closed out 2008 with my busiest year ever in freelance work yet! This year I hope to double that with some exciting new creative projects. I really want to focus this year on creating some really nice, quality portfolio pieces and also do some personal explorations in some fine art realms. I been pretty busy with my new job at AAA and should be posting some things that I've been doing here soon. For now you can look at one of my invitations I just finished for my best buddy's Stock the Bar engagement party.
