Belt Buckles
Silver Moon Concepts had a rather extensive line of belt buckles, most of which were designed by me. The production process at the time involved me sketching the ideas, then creating photo-realistic mockups in Photoshop to show our manufacturers in China how the final products were supposed to look. The images here were prepared in the same manner that I did for SMC's catalog, database, and promotions: I took photographs of samples that I still have, cleaned up any scratches or blemishes using photo-manipulation techniques as well did some color correction in Photoshop. Many of the belt buckles that I designed have been offered in retail outlets such as Hot Topic, Pacific Sunwear, and The Buckle.
