Adobe Illustrator CS6 | Detail...

Here are some recent DVD covers that I have created for Lynda.com. These pieces are always a fun challenge to design and graphically portray a software program with elegance. These assignments give me the opportunity to explore my personal interest in both Architecture, Industrial Design and M.C. Escher. This art will be used both as banners for the website and printed covers for the DVD's. It was great to see Lynda.com as an event sponsor for the upcoming ICON7 The Illustration Conference, good job!. Big thanks to art director Heather Stallings.

Fantastic stuff.

Victor Juhasz May 3, 2012

Love them. I keep on imagining them as 20 foot paintings. That would be utterly freaky- and cool.

Douglas Hooper May 10, 2012

Wow! You've been busy -- that represents a lot of work. Nice work -- I like every one.

Andy Wright May 19, 2012

Wow, very cool. And an amazing amount of production in a short amount of time, apparently. I know Deke's work, from one of my early PS (oops, CS now) books. Good stuff.

Love them all! I would love to see them BIG as well....

Man these are good and keep getting better. I used to love art directing you on these but now you don't even need it. They make the Lynda.com brand so much richer. Brilliant -DB

Hi Andrea, Thank you! Thank you, Andy! Yep, Deke is a household word around PS/CS. Thanks, Linda. I appreciate the comment and I'd love to go big with this type of work. Don, Really great to hear from you and it was a complete blast doing all of those covers for you! Thank you my friend!
