The Lookout at Ortega Highway







Since May of this year, I've been travelling the dizzy Ortega highway that connects Riverside to Orange County. In one of the early morning travel, I encounter a foggy road in Lake Elsinore. As I enter highway 74, I ascended above the clouds and as I travel around 45 mph with cars behind me, I told myself "I have to stop even if traffic behind me starts to build up." Why, because the image on my right is the closest thing to heaven. Above the clouds with the sunset on my face the silhouette mountains in front and behind me became a perfect panoramic shot. I parked at the famous viewpoint at Lake Elsinore, The Lookout, and beneath me is the lake of clouds instead of Lake Elsinore.


You don't see this view everyday and despite the possibility of being late, I took my time to stop, get my camera into focus and took 4 shots from left to right. I meditated and thanked God for a wonderful view that 6:30 in the morning. I went inside my car and to my surprise there was no traffic and the lanes were clear which doesn't happen usually, I got back on the road to Orange County feeling great and with hope that the shots I took will be worth the stop.


The shots were uploaded to Adobe Lightroom and edited with Merge to Panorama in Photoshop. The result, a breathtaking view of Lake Elsinore from the Lookout covered with clouds with the early morning sunrise.


The lookout was worth the stop.

Eco Auto Detailer Logo Design

The next generation of Car cleaner or detailer is here. Introducing Eco Auto Detailer. This product is environmentally safe. Uses no water with its spray and wipe technique. Eco Auto Detailer can be used for external and internal care of you vehicle. It gives you that great shine in and out and protects your car's paint with every spray. The more you use it, the more it gets protected. With its safe ingredients, Eco Auto is gentle not only on your car, but also your skin. It doesn't have that chemical smell when you spray it, also it's environmentally safe. But the biggest thing with this cleaner is that you don't have to use water to clean you car therefore saving you water usage.



Just spray and wipe it with a microfiber cloth and you're done. In 15 minutes, the external part of your vehicle looks shiny, clean and protected. Add another 10 minutes for the interior of you car and all in all, you spend less than half an hour to get that detailed look on your car. One bottle will last through 7 detailings and for less than $20.


With this unique product, Niche Grafix designed a unique logo for Eco Auto Detailing. The combination of green, white and black makes the logo environment friendly but classy as well. The shield like logo makes a strong sense that it helps protecting your car's exterior and interior. We designed the inside with a grilled metallic finish to make it look very exotic and classic. We created a vector car graphic based on a Bugatti model and gave it that shiny look. Overall, the logo looks good with light or dark background.


The graphic below is the label that Niche Grafix designed for Eco Auto. The design bleeds through the label and wraps around the white bottle. Eco has two other lines of products: Eco Motorcycle Detailer and Eco Boat Detailer.
