The Most Dangerous Stunts of Jackass

mattsinopoli — Sat, 16 Oct 2010 02:26:32 +0000

Another “infographic” I did for Cinema Blend. This one detailing the most dangerous stunts from the Jackass TV show and movies. This obviously isn’t really a true infographic since it’s opinion based but we’re still calling it one. I did all the artwork and the text was done by a crack team of writers at Cinema Blend.

You can read the entire infographic on the site. Go give it a look and add your own favorite stunts to the comments section.

Cinema Blend Does Comic Con 2010

It’s that time of the year again. Comic Con is right around the corner and for me that means I get to make another batch of graphics for Cinema Blend’s coverage of the event. This year I had some extra time and was able to create some brand new images instead of just updating the older graphics I made. I think they turned out nicely, and as always, they were a lot of fun to work on.

To see all the graphics I created, and to read some world-class Comic Con coverage, head on over to Cinema Blend.

An Illustrated Guide to the 5 Levels of Inception

mattsinopoli — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 03:26:44 +0000

This is an infographic I made for Cinema Blend detailing the 5 dream levels of Inception. CB Head Honcho Josh Tyler wrote the text while I came up with the visuals. I’ve blurred out the image below because it’s chock-full of spoilers and I’d hate to ruin the movie for anyone who hasn’t seen it yet. Inception is a great film and the less you know going in the more you’ll enjoy it.

This is an illustration I made for cinemablend.com. It’s an infographic of Hit Girl from Kick Ass, breaking down the different actors and fictional characters she emulates. The Cinema Blend staff writers came up with the text and then I put it into infographic form.

Rivers Casino Spec Ad

This is a spec ad I did at work for the new Rivers Casino in Pittsburgh. It’s a direct mail piece that would be sent as part of our RedPlum wrap.

Longlife Automotive Spec Ad

This year at work I joined a team to produce spec ads to show to potential clients. We usually don’t deal with spec ads at out hub so it was a cool opportunity for me. This is a direct mail piece I did for Longlife Automotive. The back is the same as the front only in spanish.

Munch Monster Logo Design

This is a logo design I did about a year ago for online friends Steve and Kelly West who were starting a food-themed blog, MunchMonster.com. I never got around to posting it back then, and since the site is being semi-relaunched after some time off I thought this would be a good time to finally show off my logo design.

The site features recipes and food-related editorials from Steve as well as mouthwatering food photography by Kelly. I’m a big fan of both cooking and food photography so I was really excited to work on this logo. I wanted to create a logo that conveyed an organic, natural feel to go with the food theme. To do this I tried to make the logo emulate a lable you might find on a locally grown, farmer’s market type product.

This was the first round of thumbnails I did:

Even at this early point, I already had an Idea of which thumbnails were worth persuing and Steve and Kelly agreed so we moved on to round 2.

From there we decided on thumbnail #1 and moved on to colors. I wanted to use earthy, “organic” colors and stuck mostly to browns and greens and even some lighter blues. We eventually decided on a color and I think the finished product ended up looking pretty nice.

Once we decided on a logo, I began designing the navigation bar as well as the general layout of site. I used a paper texture in the header to hint at the idea of a brown paper bag filled with groceries and a stone texture as the background image to mimic the feel of a marble kitchen counter top.

This is what the final design looked like:

You can check out the logo in action (as well as some great recipes and food-related articles) over at MunchMonster.com. And while you’re over there, take a look at some of my photos which are featured in one of the site’s food photography galleries!

Nine Re-Skin for Cinema Blend

mattsinopoli — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 04:18:34 +0000

This is a site re-skin I did for CinemaBlend.com to promote the theatrical movie “Nine”. This is my favorite re-skin I’ve done for the site so far. Sometimes the movie studios can get really picky with the design but they seemed to like this one. They only had minor adjustments from my original mock-up which was pretty cool.
