What is ColourBurned?

The term Colour Burning refers to a blending method used in digital image editing. The technical process is to divide the inverted bottom layer by the top layer (the layer with the effect applied) and then invert the result. This darkens the top layer and increases the contrast to reflect the colour of the bottom layer. The darker the bottom layer’s values are, the more that layer’s colour values are applied. Using white causes the effect to be ignored. This brings rich colours and a deep feel to the contrast and colour levels.

The reason I chose this as a name is that it is one of my favourite blending effects. You can see these effects in my header image where the dark colours seem to burn into the lighter background. The resulting colour effect is so rich I’m sure you can see why I love this blending mode so much.

How it all began...

The goal behind ColourBurned Design is to mark the web, walls, and signs of the city with as much trendy designs as possible. I look at what your needs are, take into consideration the message you are trying to convey, and make a custom graphic to fit your or your company's personality. Years of honing communication, design, and critical thinking skills have helped to bring an uncanny ability to define an artistic representation of my clients. With some time and discussion I can help make the ideas behind your company come to life graphically on any medium.

ColourBurned Design is the place you can go to fulfill all your graphical web, print, and branding design needs. If you are interested in contracting some work, or even to just look through options, please feel free to contact me via my contact form

About Josh...

On my free time I do a lot of biking, mountain climbing, swimming, parkour, and practicing guitar. I’ve spent quite a bit of time investing myself into martial art training. Some of my favourite styles are Muay Thai, Submission Grappling, Kashima Shin-ryu JuJutsu, Kodokan Judo, and KFM. I can’t say I’m much of a sports guy, but I love going to live hockey and football events in Nashville.

I currently work at Peak 10, Inc. I do support for anything from server reboots, to build outs and installations. The nice thing about working there is that I get the chance to do more of the physical layer components in technology that I don’t get a chance to play with as a developer and designer. Opportunities in server administration and hardware troubleshooting help me to have a greater understanding of computers and networking. Giving me a diverse grasp of development as a whole.

What to expect...

Being able to step back and see the big picture in a business is a talent I've developed over the years. This talent helps business and individuals achieve a look that best communicates what you are trying to say to your target audience. I have developed an outline we can follow to guide the design process to help me design and conceptualize your ideas in a way that best graphically defines you or your business.

You can expect that I will bring everything to your project at all times. You can expect excellence and dedication to your cause and a drive to achieve your goals together. You can expect integrity and hard work to develop a project worthy of attention.
