This is one of my favorite pieces of art in parody.

This is a video from youtube that i found that is a pretty interesting interpretation of Graphic Design.

These are some of the ideas that i went off of for my ads.  I wanted to use flat colors that would be easy for kids to recognize and understand.  I didn't want to use any of the actual product in the design because it would detract away from the design.

This is the final product of my last Graphic Design 2 project.  This project was about creating ads for the product label redesign we did in project 4.  We had to make 3 ads: one full page, one side page and one small.

Label redisign

For our next project we are to choose a product (food, drink etc.) that has a label that "needs" a redisign.  I chose  FLA VOR ICE a freeze pop package.

Audio book jewel case design

for this project there really wasn't any sketching done because we were using the book cover from the previous project that we did.  In my case that would be "The Scarlet Letter."  Most of the time on this project was spent getting the dimensions down.

Scarlet Letter book cover final

I decided on a more simplistic type of illustration for the cover, sillohetted outlines of a woman (Hester Prynn) in a hooded cloak telling her daughter on the back cover (Pearl) to hush.

These are some of the sketches I have done so far for my version of the Scarlet Letter:

Book Cover 1

I am currently designing a book cover for my Graphic Design II class.  I chose "The Scarlet Letter", and so i must come up with a creative solution for a book cover that does not follow the same old formula as the many predecessors before it.  Here are some designs that i need to stay away from:

Most of the designs for this book rely on only the letter itself.  I obviously want to use the Letter as an element in the design, however i would like to use it in conjunction with other symbols and use more than "just the letter".

Dracula Theatrical Poster Final

GD II Project 1: #3)  After a few tweaks i had decided to re-sketch the "D" and the "A" so it would appear in blood as well.

I incorporated the "D" and "A" into the design as well as taking out the bottom fangs and adding the text for the play's information, such as dates and call numbers.  This is the final result:

Dracula Theatrical Poster Progress

GD II Project 1: #2)  For the progress critique i had basically just inked in my skecth with the pen tool in Adobe Illustrator.

However after talking with my instructor, we decided there were a few things that needed to be changed.  For instance, the fangs should only appear on the top, not the bottom.  In the movies and other theatrical plays they only depict him with the top fangs.  The bottoms only show up in the little plastic play teeth.  When the bottom fangs were still on the design it looked more like an animal.  Also, we decided that the teeth should just remain teeth and should not incorporate the letter.  The "D" and "A" should just be part of the blood as well.

Dracula Theatrical poster Sketch

GD II Project 1: #1)  I was to create a poster for a play that would be playing at the North Carolina Theater.  We chose from a list of plays and i chose "Dracula".  This is the sketch i started with.

I started out with a play on the design being part of the text, the teeth would be the "D" and the "A" at both ends and the rest of the title would be in the blood between the teeth.
