Internships

Well it's been a minute and a half since I put up a post on this blog but I think it's time I get back into it. In just 5 short weeks I'll be a senior at SCAD. I made Dean's List again last quarter and I'm right on track to nailing it again. Which leads to my next topic. I've recently started applying for internships for the summer. I've applied at Nike, Quiksilver, Super Top Secret, and I'm working on Skullcandy as well. I'm trying really hard to keep my grades up and starting to take my wife's () advice and work on my social networking and making some good contacts. I've also been working on my portfolio feel free to check out my work and comment.

Assassin's Creed III

I don't often put game trailer or anything like that on my blog, but I am a huge fan of this game series and this looks like it has potential to be the best game so far! Assassin's Creed III

Dusters California

I came across this video today and thought it was done really well. Super good vibes!

Finally Done

I'm finally done with my Surfing magazine project. Here is the digital version of it. You can also see it on BEHANCE... I should have the printed one mounted and everything ready to present in class done on Tuesday. I'll take pictures and put them up too. Enjoy.

ESSENTIALS

I follow this website called hypebeast.com and they do an Essentials post every so often. It shows what things thing rich and famous people take with them everywhere. Most of them are ridiculous because I highly doubt most of the people take all that crap everywhere they go. So I decided to make one of my own. It is ONLY the stuff I never leave the house with. I'd like to think it gives you a little glimpse of my style and the things I need to stay on point throughout the day.

1. iPhone 4S - could not survive without it. 

2. Dentyne Ice Split to Fit pack (spearmint) - happy wife, happy life

3. Fake Ray Bans - one day I'll be able to afford real sunglasses

4. House keys, bike lock, and bottle opener - i think soda kicks so much more ass out of a glass bottle

5. NIXON MILANO wallet - this is the newest piece to the collection and I love it.

Maybe one day I'll do what's in my backpack. Until then, that's it. What I have on me at all times.

Surfing Magazine

This is just a preview to a bigger project. There will be more to come.

Behance

i've found a new way to display my portfolio on line more effectively. I'll still put a few projects up on this site here and there but the primary place to see me work now will be at behance.net/gwessman. thanks for following me.

2 YEARS DOWN!

Just a little something I through together since today is my two year anniversary.  I love my wife with everything I have. She is my rock and never ceases to amaze me with her stunning beauty and caring heart. She is the best thing that has ever happened to me.  

Spring Quarter Begins

The spring quarter is passing by even quicker than the last. I've got two project done already so I thought I'd share them. The first is a time line of surfboard design. I really like the way this one came out. It's simple but I think it has a good/applicable style to it.

In the next project we had to do an analysis of the geometry inside a snowflake and create a design out of our findings. I really enjoyed this project and the design I came up with. 

Magazine Spread

Magazine Spread for my Typography class. I really enjoyed this assignment. I had a lot of fun using the 20 field grid and combining images and creating layouts.

Finals

This was my final project for my Vector and Raster Graphics class. I had to redo a logo for a restaurante. Obviously I chose PizzPieCafe which is in Idaho and Utah. So I had to do the logo, coasters, t-shirts and a menu but that doesn't look good unless you see the 3D version and my prof. has it.

PizzaPieCafe

This is the logo I've done for ,obviously, PizzaPieCafe. I need help thinking of 4 designs for a set of coasters that are different from one another but correlate and work harmoniously together. Keep in mind I want to play off the same minimalist vector art as the logo. thanks.

Garamond/Harry Potter

Thanks for everyones help. It ended up being too close to call so I had the idea of using both of them. I also tweaked a few other things in the poster and I got 100% on it. So it turned out great I think.

Abstract Drawing 1

I've been working on this for a few days. It started out as a doodle while I was waiting for a photoshop file to load. Four days later it turned into this. I like it.
