So, this is the project I have possibly lost the most sleep over. I did the bottom work then the prof said that he changed his mind after I had already spent a week working on the bottom one, so I had 2 days to make the top one. Lots o coffee being drank after 12, but anyway, I like how they both turned out, and I am actually kinda happy that my prof pushed me to make two.
So for this one we had to do a newspaper layout. My prof suggested that we use foreign languages, which gave me a good chance to test out those 3 years of Japanese... which kinda failed since I ended up just using the story from an article that already existed. BUT! I vector illustrated all the girls and the couch at the bottom, which I think is pretty damn cool!
The final piece of the magazine project, actual spreads. I wanted to get a steam punkish feel to it so I grunged up the font a bit (the first good use of Bleeding Cowboys!) but the first one seemed too simple for a punk article, so I did the second one without thinking about repercussions of putting ink blots on the photo, or cutting off the headline at the page end, and it worked out much more nicely.
For this project, I did a magazine cover and ad. I felt adventurous and did 2 ads, both for Roxy jeans. I liked the initial logo for Roxy, but the professor didn't like it, so I had to change it to the one you see now. Overall, I am pretty happy with them.
This is my BRM card for Sex, Politics, and You. The card is set up so that you can rip the top and bottom sections apart allowing you to send in the top card and keep the bottom card for directions to the art gallery and the sexy vectored lady. The whole card was done using only 2 spot colors (not counting the BRM portion which is black by postal regulation) making the entire work super cheap for production!
For this project, I had to make business postcards that used only two colors total for the front and back. I chose to use Trans-Siberian Airlines (a company I made up) because I have always wanted to use Russian for a logo. I got inspiration for this from Lowbrow art, particularly Shag, for the stylization of the people. I like how it turned out overall.
For this project, I was asked to make 2 business cards. One with a normal 3.5"x2" layout and the other a nontraditional layout. The first normal layout I thought was boring by itself (it had blue filled in where the liquid in the beaker would be) so I instead decided to die cut the liquid out and place cellophane between the cards before placing them together. Allowing you to see through the card.
