Hydromat EPIC R-T Brochures

Hydromat EPIC R/T BrochuresIn 2006, Hydromat needed new brochures for their EPIC R/T product line of Machine tools.

There were a total of 5 brochures created for the line.

Terminus-stl.com

I used a simplified pallet to create a clean, yet techy feel. I also shot a lot of new photography for the products. This site was built using a hybrid HTML-table mix, along with CSS and some Javascripting.

Dash

DashThis illustration was done using oddly enough.. Adobe Illustrator. This was a fun piece I created to go in my living room when I moved into my new place. That was two years ago, and I still haven’t had the print made yet. Nevertheless it was a fun piece to create and if you are a dog lover it’s a real eye catcher.

ICON dot Hydromat dot comThe ICON web site was built for a new division and line of machine tools manufacturing by Hydromat of St. Louis. This site was built using XHTML and CSS. This site has a clean feel. Lots of white space give it an open feel, yet the content is tightly held in place in the center of the page.

Hydromat Christmas Card

I created the site using a hybrid HTML, CSS, table technique. I also did a bit of flash animation for the home page to add a hint of dynamic style to the sites static content.

Rock Solid

It was to stand out on any promotional pieces, letterhead, business cards, and product packaging. This logo is the first piece in the Rock Solid series of product labels.

Coolant

CoolantThe first label in the Rock Solid line of fitness beverage and suppliment products. The coolant was a rehydration product, much like Gatorade, packed with nutrients and electrlytes to rejuvinate. The colors used are simple yet, eye catching. They were choosen to convey the feeling of coolness and refreshment.
