Alright! Won a Gold Addy Award for the Pentair Augmented Reality Project. I posted some screenshots befre, here’s a demo video.
Little site for a company that makes custom liquor right here in Milwaukee. Notice the Shank Tequila!
The Milkman has his own Facebook page now, go LIKE it! Like Elechronic, too, while you’re at it…

Happy Holidays! http://www.boelterlincoln.com/Holiday2011/
This is the the agency I work for. Design is mostly Stodola, BTW, I did the backgrounds, finishing touches, and coding. Let’s get some Nog.

Got to make my first Augmented Reality Application - The iPad/Android app turns the sales rep’s tablet computer into an X-Ray machine, showing the inner workings of the clients product. Navigation menu allows them to break apart various layers of the machines inner workings and pull up descriptions and videos for 1 on 1 sales discussion. The app comes in two flavors, mini desktop version and full scale XRay vision.
As far as I can tell this is the first time AR has been used in this manner. Hopefully it helps people see a broader potential for the technology beyond making goofy little cartoons dance around your coffee.
Our wedding invitations - - We spent all weekend assembling these ”Bloody Marry” Kits to personally deliver Sunday Morning. Our ceremony is so small, we are able to focus our budget into a more customized, highly detailed experience. Each kit contains:
-2 cans of Campbells Tomato Juice
-Two bottle of Smirnoff Vodka
-Two pairs of Test Tubes, bound with twine, one of spices and sauces, and one of various pickled vegetables.
-Two mini Corona chasers.
-A recipe card and the actual invitation.
We had an excellent time experimenting with various recipes to find the perfect spice juice vodka and sauce blend. I’m debating posting our recipe… perhaps it will stay a family secret.
Design-wise, the images are bouquets Erin found of some old scientific illustrations of slime mold, vectorized and fancified. For the two color effect, I live traced each image twice in black and white - once with the threshold way up, once with the threshold way down. After removing the white, I made the more solid image a dark green, and then overlaid the more sparse image in a contrasting gold color. That gave it lots of depth, and prepped it for two color printing process. Which we didn’t use, by the way. When dealing in such low quantities the price becomes a bit ridiculous after setup and plate charges. When I got the quote back from the letterpress folk I thought, damn, we could probably rent an elephant and have it poop roses on everyone’s doorstep for that price.
Erin said no to the elephant.
Straight up QR Code City! So maybe Google Goggles is pushing them to obsolescence, but the current state of technology prohibits most of America from responding quicker than with the Quick Response code. (I mean… Goo.gl still generates them with it’s URL shortening service, right?) So, this month’s Elechronic gig is a promo collabo between our Elechronic Blog, and the Jam of the Day blog - each QR code taking you to our mobile versions, and the smaller code on the bottom sending you directly to the facebook event page.
*Quick tip* When you get a QR code from a service such as Bit.ly or Sparq Code, and you want to increase the resolution in photoshop, make sure to check “Resample Image” in your Image Size dialogue and pick the “Nearest Neighbor” method in the drop down options, this will make it nice and crispy for print (or better yet, vectorizing with LiveTrace)
Little favor for a friend
