  1. Travel Journal I Travel Journal I — Album cover for an album I recorded in February for the RPM Challenge. Listen here: https://soundcloud.com/piper_cub/sets/travel-journal-i
  2. Space Space — Logomark for a Yoga Studio + Wellness Center.
  3. Tiny Pineapple Tiny Pineapple — Had a little time to kill between meetings yesterday, so I sketched a little logo for Tiny Pineapple, a blog I started with my wife a couple of years ago that I'm hoping to get back into using. Sketched the Pineapple in Procreate. My drawing skills are very rusty.
  4. Driver App Driver App — Driver App. A feature of the 400 Record app allows the user to summon a driver to take them around Downtown Dallas in an all-electric GEM car. Like our own tiny Lyft. This app syncs with a parse server which shares data with the client-facing app, allowing the driver to manage requests and contact riders if needed.
  5. Yearly Graph Yearly Graph — Designing graphs that are beautiful _and_ functional is such an interesting challenge. It's easy to make them pretty, but a lot harder to make them truly _informative_. This is from a top-secret project. Can't wait to share more.
  6. Snowflake Snowflake — A snowflake pattern I created for my office holiday card competition. If you use "offset path" enough times, you may feel like you're on drugs.
  7. 400 Record + iPhone X 400 Record + iPhone X — Our app launched the same week as the iPhone X, so we knew what we had to do. I redesigned the navigation of our app to incorporate the iPhone X's new home-button-less navigation paradigm. I can dig it. ✌️
  8. Out of Range - Concept Sketch Out of Range - Concept Sketch — Quick sketch that led to the Out of Range illustration. Paper by 53. There are lots of ways to draw on the iPad. I enjoy Procreate for emulating real-life mediums, and Adobe Draw for drawing vector art and type, but nothing beats Paper for concept sketching. It has simple, powerful tools and otherwise just stays out of the way. It keeps me from getting hung up on details, but has enough opt...
  9. Out of Range Out of Range — Trying to spend more time lately thinking about empty states and edge cases. For the Art of 400 Record app, we use
  10. Interactions: The Art of 400 Record Interactions: The Art of 400 Record — Interaction animations from a project that launches later this month. The Art of 400 Record showcases the world-class art collection on display in the newly-renovated 400 Record building in Dallas. The app uses Bluetooth beacon technology to show information on nearby artworks. Think of it as a museum label plaque, except with images, hyperlinks and a little bit of magic.
  11. 400 Record + iPhone X 400 Record + iPhone X — iPhone X retrofit for an app launching later this month. Check out the whole case study: https://mjchamplin.com/400-record
  12. Hello Hello — Playing around with my iPad > desktop workflow. Traced from a photo in Adobe Draw, sent to Illustrator, colored and added glows in Sketch.
  13. Sketches - Map Sketches - Map — More concept sketching with the iPad. Used Sketch by 53 for this one.
  14. Art Direction Scribbbles Art Direction Scribbbles — Requesting specific imagery from our photography team for background images in an app we're about to launch. I love it when I get to put on my Art Director hat on a UX/UI project. Scribbled in Procreate on the iPad.
  15. Ampersand Ampersand — I got an iPad Pro for my birthday, so sometimes I just draw ampersands now.
  16. Typehue - Z Typehue - Z — Of course I started with the last letter of the alphabet. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ http://typehue.com/
  17. Art Art — From a study for an art-related app icon. I just like this illustration. :)
  18. Wrapping Paper Wrapping Paper — Designed some wrapping paper, just for kicks. Printed off on copy paper it doesn't crease well, but this was super fun regardless. Might have to get some printed for realsies next year :)
  19. Metal Stone Metal Stone — Downloaded Project Felix and I'm really enjoying playing with it. I haven't really done any 3d stuff since Max nearly killed me in college.
  20. Portfolio UI Animation Portfolio UI Animation — Playing with some hover and click states for a portfolio site.
  21. Burger Nights Burger Nights — Unused concept for Jack in the Box. The app would change depending on the day, with both a daytime and nighttime color scheme. The design also showcased some of their more notorious nighttime offerings.
  22. Burger Time Burger Time — Unused concept for Jack in the Box mobile app.
  23. Colors Colors — Updated color palette for wife's writing portfolio site http://kaytee.me. It's very Wes Anderson.
  24. Wedding Monogram Wedding Monogram — Quick monogram for my upcoming wedding. Wanted something to print on favors and such.
