A little while back I was hired by VH1 Latin America to design some motion boards for their upcoming identity campaign. Wonderful people to work with, they were interested in developing an identity with a 70s retro-cosmic vibe mingled with something slick and modern.
I had a blast pushing and bending my vector assets and lighting effects into all kinds of directions. Shown here are some of the menu boards I designed for their animation team, both used and unused.
If you want to see some slightly larger versions, check them out on my Flickr stream.

Gorgeus! I’d love to see that in motion. Reminds me of Justice’s DVNO videoclip: http://www.vimeo.com/744583
Looks sweet man. I’d like to see the animation. tweet us a link if it ever goes online!
Szy and Nick, thanks so much! I’ll be sure to post the animated versions once I get them sent over.
Wow, amazing. I love the colours.
Happen to chance upon your interview on FAIRspot.
I think your works are amazing!
it’s nice but…honestly,you are traped in your design…you will really impress me the day when you are going to do something else than rainbows and lens flare…
Awesome. That’s a great item to have in your portfolio too.
Just stunning!!! Incredible work James. I’m excited to see the animation too he he.
I never knew when to look for Papa Hogan A La Lucha, thanks for the scheduling heads-up.
These are great! You can really feel the movement in the boards. Let us know when we can view them animated!
fantastic!
Hey Jim, it’s Andrew. Just decided to check in on ya and see how you’re doing. The site has really changed a lot since I last seen it, but your designs always look great, even when it’s in the format of a blog. :P
I’m not sure if my mother relayed the info back long ago but I read and enjoyed your book that your mom sent to us as a Christmas present. It was creative and inspiring, and even makes me want to pick up a pencil once in a while (although I never do ha ha).
Oh and these motion boards look fantastic! I have to ask, what did you use to make them, just Photoshop or something more? Anyway, rock on and keep up the amazing work.
I Love the way you write…thanks for posting
