The End of the Year 2002
The out-of-control tricycle
January - February 2003 Crumpled up site design
February - March 2003 This months splash page was inspired by 1970's graphic design. More specifically the (ficticious) February 1971 issue of MHC magazine.
March - April 2003 This splash was inspired by a package design I saw somewhere. I won't lie, I have no idea where I saw it but it's ripping off someone. If I find out who I'll give credit where its due. Really.
April - May 2003 This month's splash page was inspired by Swiss design of the 1960's. More specifically the cover of a small chapbook from the time on the graphic design of th Swiss.
May - June 2003 This was inspired by May Day and the images of the old Soviet Union
June - July 2003 I was surfing the net and came across this amazing stamp and decided to photoshop it into a splash
July - August 2003 Usually my splash pages are based on something I’ve seen or come across. This month was different, it was strictly on-the-spot creation (that and the fact I that wanted to use a “wooly bugger” fly tie)
August - September 2003 This splash idea came to me while I was working on an image for a new website and it just struck me as a perfect Mammoth Hall Common image
Sept. - October 2003 The idea for this splash came from Einstein’s theories in relativity. More specifically how everything becomes the center of the universe (or coordinates 0,0)
October - November 2003 This one’s got a bit of a story. There’s a great fish and chip shop we go to where the front counter has all these drawings from kids to the “Fish and Chip Man.” Specifically, there were two pictures that to my eyes both looked like trees. When I looked closer I saw that I was incorrect as they were named -- one was a tree, one was Hayley. All those years of art school have made me blind to the obvious.
November - December 2003 [TK]

The Splash Archive is just an excuse for me to flex the ol' design muscles and try to come up with an interesting idea monthly. If anyone out there would like to design a splash for the Common feel free to email me and I'll give you the details. Concept-wise, all I ask is that includes "MHC" and doesn't suck.

There aren't many designs yet but there will be...there will be.

Enjoy,
Paul
