New York Comic Con Day 4 Photo Highlights

Lot's to talk about from Day 4, but I'm so exhausted that I'll just wait until I do a more in depth blog eventually. I have hundreds of photos to post to Flickr. I'll probably start doing so next weekend. In the meanwhile, enjoy the top 10 photos from today.

New York Comic Con Day 3 Photo Highlights

NYCC Day 3 was a lot more fun than Day 2. As the crowd swelled to a "Fire Hazard" limit, the this day was certainly a lot more fun and eventful than the second day. I was able to meet Roman Dirge the creator of Lenore today. He had mentioned at an earlier panel that he and Neil Gaiman are working on trying to bring a Lenore animated movie to the big screen. I also met Ti West, the Director of House of the Devil. We also ran into comedian Grace Helbig (G4) who was awesome to talk with. Apparently she's never met Chris Hardwick and neither have I. He eluded us as his Nerdist booth was well hidden. Hopefully we can track him down tomorrow morning before he leaves. I need Chris to sign my House of 1000 Corpses DVD.  

New York Comic Con Day 2 Photo Highlights

Day 2 of Comic Con was highlighted by the Marvel costume contest. Marvel has a huge presence this year and they're going all out in promoting the Avengers film. I was also able to see highlights from Final Fantasy XIII-2. My only gripe today was the lack of info on Celebes. I didn't meet any because I couldn't find any of the ones I wanted to meet! NYCC has done a poor job with their app and website, and in updating the locations of the guest. I know the program books are printed a week sooner, but I had no idea Debbie Mazar was even at the show until it was pointed out to me today! There's no info on where and when she's signing!

New York Comic Con Day 1

I signed myself up for 4 days of Comic Con. Even though NYCC started at 4PM today, I did get a taste of what I'm in for. It should be fun, very memorable, yet tiring. I promised myself that I would do a photo blog at the end of each day and show off the top photos for that day. Not much going on for Day 1 as people were still setting up and getting their act together. I plan to have a more extensive NYCC blog next week, but in the meanwhile, enjoy some of the sites observed today at NYCC.

Finally... A Design Blog!

I'd like to invite everyone who reads this blog to like Negative Pop's business page on Facebook. It acts as a frequently update journal of all of my past, present, and future design and photography projects. It can be reached through this link - https://www.facebook.com/pages/Negative-Pop/143403655751465

I'll admit it. I've been a little too obsessed with photography of late, and I've neglected the fact that I'm still a graphic designer by trade. Sure, being a graphic designer is my day job, but I still enjoy flexing my creative skills on the outside. While I'm in love with photography, my passion will always be for graphic design. However, it's through my photography that I draw the inspiration for my various design projects. And it's through my design work that my photography thrives. Rightfully so, one compliments the other.


Recently, I created the 5 design concepts below for the NKFs 2012 Spring Clinical Meetings. Unlike last year when our event was held in Las Vegas, our goal this year was not to promote the event location, but to focus on less localized design. While my previous year's concepts featured Las Vegas Show Girls and the easily recognizable Las Vegas Skyline, this year i gave approached my design with more subtlety. The gambit of designs below vary style from a simple typography to more elaborately rendered designs While all 5 designs were in contention, Design D was chosen for the overall look and feel on this years promotional materials. I was quite happy with the final results, and it will become the basis for the future evolution of this brand.
