Beta designs and bits of fluff
It wasn't bought, it didn't fit the brief or it has no commercial value – Beta tested designs so to speak, but what the heck... it can't just sit on my Mac Book until the hard-disk stops spinning and I lose it forever. It may as well go on this site in a miscellaneous section of ideas and various projects thought up but not always completed by Hurst Vanrooj.
'New Style' vector montage
Welcome to the new-style montage as seen on just about every trendy TV spot or mobile phone advert. It's fantastic to see well thought out clip-art returning back to the media world after the exhausting time we designers have had trawling through the multi-billion combinations of Photoshop layer blending options. It's bright and immediately pleasing on the eye, so enjoy it until it's over-used.
