Design

I used to do a bit of sculpture, painting, and drawing. Now, I just contribute web logos for random sites (listed below from newest to oldest).

Scikits-image Logo and Banner

I'm a core developer for scikits-image, which is an image-processing library. The basic idea I had was to take the SciPy (which is sort of the parent of all the "scikits") logo and combine it with some image processing. I chose an edge filter as the image processing step, and created the logo using scikits-image, plus the standard scientific Python tools (NumPy, SciPy, and matplotlib).

Matplotlib Banner

I'm an occasional contributor to matplotlib, so when someone on the mailing list mentioned a new logo, I submitted my attempt. I can't really say I designed the matplotlib banner; I came up with a concept and went through a few iterations with the creator of matplotlib: John Hunter.

In case you were wondering matplotlib, is a Python plotting library, and the entire banner logo is generated with code. Since I helped with the design, I got to choose some of the equations in the background (notice Navier-Stokes at the top).

GAME Logo and Banner

I was GAME webmaster at one point in time. The first thing I did was redesign the logo (it was originally a cog made in Solidworks). If you look really closely, the highlights in the gears spell out GAME ... sort of. Designed in Inkscape.
