ringo - revised.

a few entries back, i posted a site design that i did for mike wieringo. i had to do revisions to the layout. i took all of the things that the professor told me to do during the critique into consideration when i revised the site. this is what i got. it looks a ton better...mostly because i actually scanned in real news print paper and got a better font for the title of the paper. i also added a few things like a coffee ring and red markings.

dexter.

i just finished this around 32 seconds ago. it's another iron design challenge that i took more than an hour on. the assignment was to create a site for your favorite television show. i originally wanted to do flight of the conchords or arrested development, but i'm way to attached to those shows and i actually care about how i portray them. i just started getting into a show called dexter, so i decided to do it on that show. i find that it's easier to design serious things because not everyone thinks what you think is funny...is funny. make sense? this is the second revision of the site. i like it so far. i'm thinking that the cast area with the polaroids will be flash.

pencils.

first, i'd like to say, the heading does not say "penis." i know it looks like that, but it says "pencils." that was the one bad thing about this. i love the photographs and i like the writing on the index card, but i really do need to redraw the heading and make it darker so you can see every single letter clearly. when this was shown in class on the very big projector screen the whole class laughed for around five minutes...i'm not exaggerating. so, if you haven't guessed, the site is about pencils.

stirrings.

this logo was done for print 1. it was, how do i say this...the project from hell. it took us such a long time to do this project because my teacher didn't want anything that was too predictable.

the company: stirrings. their product: flavored coffee stirrers.

my concept for this logo: i thought about coffee houses and what people do in them. one major thing that people do is just talk. so, i thought of "stirring up conversation." i made a coffee cup with steam. the steam creates two people facing each other. i know this still has a long way to go, but it's a good concept...i think.

noise.

this was done for my visual language class. we were learning about visual noise and had to make two posters about it that went together. i really like scanning things into my designs. it gives them texture and makes them not so...blah. i think this design may be a little busy, but that's the point...it's noisy.

time.

this is something that i made in my typography class. the assignment was to choose a word and illustrate it so that even if someone who couldn't read english saw it, they would know what it meant. my professor wanted me to give her a copy of this on a disc so she could put it on the gallery, but i was, and still am, very lazy...so that never happened. i wish i would have gotten off my ass and taken five minutes to burn it onto a disc.

flashback.

i've been going through all of my assignments from the past and i decided to post some of the things i made on here today.
