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.

Preview

This is just a preview. It is a work in progress. 

Custom Zip Zinger

I have this skateboard I love. It's called the Zip Zinger (obvi) but I have never been thrilled with the graphic I got with it. It didn't match my trucks and looks like it's for a 10 year old.

So today I decided I would paint it. First I sanded it down. Truthfully I thought it looked pretty sweet like this, but we digress.

This is the first coat of paint. I just used a basic Krayon spray pain from Wal-Mart. 

Here is the second coat of paint. Nothing fancy.

In Adobe Illustrator I re-created the Zip Zinger logo. It was fairly simple it's not too complex. I just adjusted the image a little in Photoshop and then put in Illustrator where I then did a live trace. I had to fix a few points with the pen tool. After I printed it I used an exact-o knife and cut it out.

Then I tapped it in place and sprayed it with white.

There were a few little funny spots but I fixed them with an orange Sharpie marker. I didn't put the checker flag on either end in. Not sure why, maybe I will later but I like how simple it looks. That's it!

End of the Quarter

Another quarter has come to a close. I have a quick test tomorrow that will take 10 minutes then I'm done for a month and a half.  Since I have a website now, that I can put my work on I'm going to change the use of my blog a little bit. I'm not exactly sure what direction totally. Basically just anything that interests me and I think will interest others. First item of business is, my birthday is tomorrow. I'm going to be 24. Gross! My mid, mid-life-crisis!

Shadow Box

I got the shadowbox working under the school work section of my portfolio. Check it out. I also put my resume up. Enjoy!

Sooner Rather Than Later

I had a little bit of time today and got to work hard on my website, it's still not completely done but I'm too excited to wait to put it up. so her it is. Dun Da Da Dun!

Coming Soon

At the begining of this quarter I put up a super basic student website. I've been remaking it for about a week and a half now and it should be up and running Wed the 9th of Nov. So please go check it out. I'm pretty proud of since this time i did everything on it. There was no pre made template and I just plugged in my stuff. It's all my work. So yeah check it. Nov 9th!
