About Me

Hi there! My name is Nick Campbell. I currently live in Chicago and work as a motion designer, photographer, iPhone app designer and educator. I have worked for over 6 years in the motion design industry, most recently at Digital Kitchen where I worked on Dexter, Target, Blackberry, and most recently for the Tonight Show with Conan O’brien. This blog was started to help creatives and creators make cool shit. I post tutorials about my process as well as links to ideas, news, and inspiration. My photo blog allows me to post my favorite shots and explore composition and color correction techniques.
