The collision of ideas. At Design Pros Media, we’re always striving for the collision of ideas that can lead to breakthrough creative solutions. During a recent call with Sentry Equipment, I found myself doodling Wolverine as we discussed salvaging a Flash Animation on their site.

Here the big idea was to merge Marvel Comic Book characters with the evil alien Venom. To further this these ideas would be refined, polished and presented in a higher fashion.

It’s shocking to think but back in 1996 Thor, you know the OL’yee Mighty One desperately needed an upgrade on the level of how McFarlane cranked up on Spider-Man to the point of making your eyeballs pop.
