Television was a booming industry at the moment and it was important to create a recognizeable system for a brand or company. Through his black and white, bold imagery with complimentary text in small columns interacting with the images he creates a very unique and bold look. His eye logo and the feeling it gives viewers and consumers is essen- tial to the brand. This sense of voyeurism and sort of hypnotic trance that televi- sion seems to put people in is absolutley communicated through his logo design. Not only does he use the logo professionally he also made a huge impact on the word of television, design, and advertisement. BRAIn- storming 01 02 03 04 05 06 William Golden Loud Submarine

  • Tony Hawk 2 Guide
    Imagine the greatest skateboarding game of all time. If you aren't imagining Tony Hawk Pro Skater, check to see if you have a fever. Now imagine that game getting twice as good. Can't do it? Pop Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 into your Playstation and reset your brain. You are now experiencing the greatest skating game ever. That's right. Activision and Neversoft are back with a masterpiece that is sure to feed Tony Hawk addicts a hit of the mind-blowing sequel to the run away classic. With twice the moves, a bunch of new skaters eight huge levels and tons of secrets, THPS2 could have stopped there and been a worthy follow-up. But the lovelies at Neversoft decided to go over the top and provide a couple new features that put THPS2 off the scale. Now athrashianados will have the ability to create their own rider with the Create Skater feature. In addition, THPS2 offers a Park Editor feature (and over 50 created example parks) that allows players to design their own dream park. Of course, we couldn't resist playing this game to death. Along the way (when we managed to put the controller down for one hot minute) we pieced together the most comprehensive online resource for shredding the best game of all time. With full skatethroughs for all eight levels, skater stats, tricks lists,park editor tips (complete with a Dex Drive save of IGN Park), and all of the secrets under the sun, the IGN Guides tribute to THPS2 is just a click away.
