Every summer I choose one activity to obsess over for an entire span of the months. The summer of freshman year, it was web programming. The summer of sophomore year, it was motion graphics. This summer I chose to try my hand at making electronic music. Its no secret that I love all forms of electronic music, so why not make it into an obsessive hobby for three months? Well I did.

My animation teacher insisted that I do something productive in class for a change and design the Agenda Book for next year. I’m a senior.

Check it out. Comments are welcome.

I know its been a while since I have updated this blog but due to academic activity I have not been able to do anything creative in a while. As you may know, I hate the current website design. I cringe every time I see it, and since I am the owner of the site, I see it quite often.
I have been brainstorming many different layouts for the next redesign of KhaledStudios and I have included a free design for anyone to see and mess around with. I will be posting a number of free designs for anyone to mess around with. Here is number one:

My favorite design trend for 2009 is letterpress, its a style when letters are given the illusion of being pressed in the surface they are in. So i decided to mess around in photoshop and create an illustration that combined letterpress and textured torn paper. If you are interested in seeing all the design trends for 2009 check out this great article on smashing magazine.
Take a look at the header and feel free to look at the PSD. If enough people want me to make a tutorial on this header I might.
