My Book

Does anyone else feel like this about their book and upcoming portfolio review...eh ha ha, BECAUSE i sort of feel like that.

...

I have decided to place a box around it mainly to be able to color it more effectively. colors were chosen on the idea of a retro feeling from the design. i am still uncomfortably comfortable with the colors. i like it

Retouched...

Old stuff will start appearing as i print and run through yet another final time.

Whats going on here?

Jim Nantz: What do you think he's going to do here Mike?
Mike Tirico: Well, Jim he got to either lay up or go for the pin...and this Preston gets ballsy. Nonetheless, it shall be an interesting back nine.
Jim Nantz: Look at that Mike he seems to be pulling out his 3 iron...
Mike Tirico: Jim, it is going to take all of that club to be able to putt, but if he is going for it that is the right club selection.

I possibly maybe thinking of a new direction for the ads to follow my booklet, which has been thought about more than the ads due next Tues.

Here is the copy:
There will be pictures along with the words...is it to dramatic for paper? anything?

that smell

Well how have i done? At one time i thought my logo was as bad as the smell from my dad, when he reads the evening newspaper with the door open. I don't think i am at the level any more i think i have moved up to the smell of "Carolyne's roses". if anyone would like to let me know or just is in a bad mood, please take your anger out on me. it won't bother me, because i have learned to go with my own instead of taking every piece of advice... it just can't be done.

...and dad "i know ya like ta think yo s#@t don't stank, but lean litle bit closer, see, roses really smell like boo bo boo"
~ sorry dad no offence. i know it gets worst with age

...Alfred.

i started out with oil paints, but i wasn't able to get the strokes like i wanted
the image on the paper was not the image in my head
so i got some sumi ink.

...Alfred...

i guess i cheated; i used a light table so that it would be proportionate when putting it into photoshop/illustrator.

Painting Alfred...

This will be known as my workspace minus the mac (storage/prop room).

update...progress??

I've been trying. i am trying to work on some ideas for vision papers, but i think i might be staying with wausau paper. some problems seemed to have occurred when changing it to a .png

27th Letter

Why we would need a 27th letter? I don't know, but the project was more than appropriate for a typography class...you know. Its like wearin' waders in the swamp, you don't get any of that swamp water on ya and there's 99.8% chance of not catchin' any dirty diseases unless your in a pool then you need not any waders...ya know. Its like bacon and ice cream... It's just good.

iheartgraphics

This is a flier for you guessed it, the I Heart Graphics Forum. The one on the left is on a grid system and the right is free flowing, like when you get up in the morning.
Some changes would be...
Left: color, do something with the circles.
Right: the red "for", the one that is so noticeable that it makes no sense. Tap, tap the body of text in the red down to its home to be able to right justify a couple of bottom lines.
Some likes...
Left: the layout and type choice.
Right: the image and color

Semantics

Here is one I had fun with.
The idea if you don't know is to match the feeling to the picture and to have three pictures of the same thing, but not. Understand...sweet.
Even though the far right urinal and type didn't work out like i planed, it still worked.
See what-a-happen was. In the lab on the 4th floor you have to have type saved to outlines and I...didn't know and it has to be CS for the epson 3000. Crazy.

Package Design

How it went so wrong... People if you sit on your thumb you do have the power to reconsider your action. Just take it out. No one likes a smelly thumb...think about it who wants to smell their bum all day. If you do then there is more wrong with you then what was wrong with my project.

Book Cover

Barry fn' Lopez. This is a book of essays of his travels, family, friends...an assortment (its about his life, for crying out loud).
This was an accident...somewhat. I had a plethora of illustrative ideas and photo ideas, but I happened to be up in the mountains on a glorious rainy-misty day with my friend and when I got back I was looking through my photos and "wham-bam-thank-you-ma'am" its like getting home and your girlfrie...never mind. We will only have 1980s-PG13 content.

Poster

"The Bald Soprano", by Eugene Ionesco...whoa.
If you have ever read any of this guy's stuff and liked it then you enjoy dry-everyday-spoon- dropped-on-your-toe humor. This isn't a bad thing...you just like it. I did.
The play, from what i could conclude and remember, was about how life's little things are repetitive... i can't remember, thought lost. Sorry folks I'll have to look at my notes.
I enjoyed this a lot. The whole process, reading the play to making the poster. Few things: the info. text at the bottom needs a new home or just to be renovated. Title needs a kick here and a pull to line things up.

Logo

Let's see... This is my logo design, obviously, that i turned in for a grade. I will be changing a few things to correct the perspective and such.

It does have a feeling of retro, but i like it and where it could possibly go...nothing is never done; kind of like life, unless you can pull the trigger then who cares.
