Artboredom is the
portfolio + propaganda home of Chris Huller

This site is the dictionary definition of the word sandbox. Script conflicts, FAILS, and questionable behavior all leave a pleasant aroma. On good days you can see examples of previous web + graphic design projects.

More about me if you have the time!

Gettin' My CMYK On!

When you're staring at lines of code for days on end you need visual stimulus to keep your creative brain working at peak efficiency. Here are a few posters I've created for myself for others to see. I eventually may get some of these printed to offer them for sale.

Keyword being may…

Big Broken Hyphens

Extra-tasty Helvetica shirts available from the HOTKUNST webstore.

If you don't like Helvetica, there's a hyphen! And it's in the wrong place! Bad punctuation is so hot right now.

Swiss Font Porn

Trendhumping on multiple levels but when put together makes a fine shirt. Or at least one I want to wear.

The Webodega is open late to relieve you of your monetary denominations.

Dude. What's going on with your headers?

Artboredom is a reflection of my multi-faceted visualocity so I feel REALLY constricted whittling that down to just one, single representative image.

So I didn't. Give 'em a refresh and find out.

No really, WTF?

I recently backed myself into a design corner while working on my Flash project final for school. I have no desire to work out of it since it’s already past due, plus I want to see where my bad decisions take me. I have been looking at some site galleries and template sites to get some ideas. I have to say the designs for the CSS based sites have clean, well designed interfaces w/ an emphasis on the user experience. The Flash templates on the other hand seem to purposefully throw all of that out the window. Just because you can create an animated menu, does that mean it has to be strewn all over the screen, in different colored circles that have no discernible intuitive thought process?

My other observation is that it seems necessary to break apart lines and boxes by adding some geometric neo-retro late 90’s rave flyer techno crap. I’m pretty sure it’s possible to create a long straight line, and a symmetrical box w/ Flash. This drives me crazy.

I know there are a ton of designers producing some dynamic, intelligent, clean, and useful sites out there all using Flash. Why do so many still seem obligated to produce crap?
