He did a couple of tees and some caps that are fucking ace!

Here you go!

ABOUT HYDRO74 - DESIGN FOR HIRE.

The Thought Process:
Hydro74 is a Orlando based designer, otherwise known as Joshua M. Smith. The soul purpose of my career is to push the boundries in doing what I feel is relevant to the market as well as extract various elements and trends to be able to offer them up in my own personal work. But let’s be honest. I do what I love because I love it. Not because I have to do it, nor am forced to do it, but rather passionate about doing what I do. I firmly believe in having set style tones, yet a sense of diversity to make any various project unique to the demands that are set forth.

Services

Type Treaments & Branding
Typography is far more than just a simple addition to a product or brand, it is what sets the tone for the entire piece. Each letter has a way of reacting and uniting to form meaningful, powerful words that embrace a sense of emotion or power. With that knowledge, producing pieces that best represent the needs is what Hydro74 prides itself on to help other brands find their identity and voice, philosophically and aesthetically.

Apparel Development
Apparel is a amazing medium that is widely embraced by masses to best symbolize one’s individuality while conforming to various cliques. This is something I fully understand and appreciate. Even to the point that a close friend & I put on a T-Shirt Gallery Show that grows in attendence and online with each new version that is produced. Apparel is everything that is meaningful in design because it is a common bond everyone shares and voices our most inner feelings without having to openly state it each and every time we speak. It is the true cog in the wheel of conformity that allows us the illusion of individuality and our own personal choice to be unique in this very common world.

Illustration
Complexity and a fluid organic approach is what is highly valued in each and every piece. A Illustration to me is something that tells a story with out words needed. It builds a bond with the viewer who will either get it, or find it horrible, yet, the interaction is what is desired when doing a piece. Some Illustrations are trend based iconic structures meant to embrace the masses to encourage sales, while others are explorations turned to symbolic ideas on paper or fabric. Illustration is something I find deep meaning in.

Other Services & Development
It is not always what you might expect. Over the years of my career in design, I’ve been active in various other aspects of design that has helped create, develop and direct various pieces to become successful in their usage.

Examples:
Magazine Layouts, Book Design, Fashion & Line Development, Creative Direction & Art Direction, Packaging & Poster Design.

The NITRO camber range














So , people!

Here is an introduction of Nitro Snowboards different cambers. From Gullwing to Standard camber...
Makes it easy for you to choose board before the season realy kicks in!

The videos I picked out are reviews with boards that got the different cambers.

I mostly ride the ZERO camber , that is my favourite... feels good and it works on everything from kickers to rails to creative street riding.

Boooyaa

Macbeth Tour

This is what the hell I did at the end of this summer…

I got invited by Macbeth Europe on 3 stops of the Blink182 Euro tour. It´s was insane!

First day we hit the Area4 festival in Ludinghausen , a lot of drunk and crazy german people where there… ooh shit!

I saw two monkeys with beer helmets, people sleeping in middle of the streets during concerts and a whole lot of other X rated shit… im psyched on how people where getting so crazy down there!

I met up with Lenneke Knape , Kit Carrera, Selma Keceli the people working behind the curtain of the scene!

I was standing in the Macbeth booth , selling shoes and tees to random fucked up people… Hellz yeah
Drinking some beers , and then of to redbull and coffee straight edge style...
The reason?!
Driving after the blink show 01:00 isch in the morning to Liepzig for the other festival…
I drove the first part, super tired...then of for sleep in the Van for the rest of the Hours we had on the road.

I woke up totaly fucked in my body with a burning sun in my face, ouch!
Ship shape in the face and of to some "work" .

During the eve , it started to rain cats ´n dogs FUCK! The booth almost blew away so we called it... threw in the towel and went to the lobby bar drinking some 15year old whiskey...mmm

The day after Kit and Selma had to leave back to Holland... So me and Lenneke drove the whole way to Hamburg wich was the last stop for me.

There we had a great time! awesome show from blink , redlight hangouts and alot more....

Thanx to everybody involved!!!!

(Better live footy from the blink 182 show will follow.... huumkay)
