Imagineering; Darkride logo Disney edition

I've been thinking about serveral concepts. As some might know, I'd like to variate my production in projects once in a while. 

I was thinking to design a complete darkride dedicated to Walt Disney. Since I was a little kid, me & my parents traveled around the world to see it all! I was 3 - 6 years old, and we went allmost every summer sightseeing the Disneyland themeparks! Growing up, I'd always pictured everything to be real; fairytales existed, Peter Pan was a true story, magic was real... everything in Disneyland was real to me. 

That's my vision when I create a themepark concept; how would I've seen this when I was a kid? It helps me "thinking out of the box" and brings me to places I'd never thought I would be. Being an seriously taken designer gives you limits, frustrations, boundries, and borders in creativity. But when I turn my head to imagineering, all of those narrow-minded people don't seem to influence my creativity anymore. I can go as far as I want to; and that's exacly what I stand for! 

Never stop learning. The background of this project runs on different principles. One of the most fun things to do in imagineering is designing the characters, designing a story & give it to right touch to make it magical. Well, what if... there's allready a story and everything you need? That's what I'm trying to experiment with this concept. Creating a ride of a story that's allready given the right shapes and colors.

This concept is one of the few that represents a piece of me & my childhood! I was always wondering when I was little; "Where's bambi? Mommy, do they have Bambi in Disneyland?" Well, let's change that shall we?

Golden ticket

Inspired by 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory's golden ticket. I've always wanted to do this project, but I never had the time and energy to actually DO it! So here I am...photoshop'n the night away! (sorry for the gold contrasts on my blog lately, it's a temporary fase I'll promise!)

FOR SALE: right here!

EDIT: I've also made an improved version home-printable right here!

Imagineering; Darkride logo

Making a sharp turn to the right, and there we are! Imagineering! 

And this time, I'd like to keep my attention to some of the details; a storytelling logo ('The adventure of the little mermaid'). I've made a couple of hundred logo's as a graphic designer, but this is something else! (allthough it didn't seen like it in the beginning) It's still graphic, but different in a very detailed way! This logo tells a bit more of a story, instead of a commercial company. Love to do this! More variations of this logo are coming up!

Upgrading my boundaries

I'm having a wonderfull time working for my first international employer! It feels great to be appreciated by creatives, even in another continent! I never thought my work would reach that far!

I've been asked to produce outline illustrations that can be processed into craft stamps and holiday giftcards! It feels like the perfect ultimate-weekend-job for me! Because it's allmost spring... I've come up wih the idea to make a spring collection 'woodland whiskers'!

FOR SALE: right here!
