The Melon Table Concept- Designed by Greg Ball, Adriean Koleric, + Joel Yatscoff was designed and entered into the 2003 Tokyo designers block competition. This project was an attempt to grab International attention. Instead, Melon landed on the front page of the Edmonton Journal. Concept modelled and rendered in Rhino 3D.
My long-time friend and fellow collaborator from Vancouver, Artist: Eric Deis at Spinklercity designed the interface for my ever-evolving portfolio. Eric is a multi-media Artist who has taught me alot about photography, Art, and the importance of creating good work. I have been continually developing my own work, but will likely never change the johngregball.com interface; its far too good.
Thanks Eric!
