More Screenprinting

Steph and I just finished a screenprinting session for the EKGM project I’m a part of. Anyhoo, I’ll have them with me tomorrow… hit me up!

More Experimental Typography

Today I started the process of making a cover for my typography book. To get you up to speed, the book is titled “Experimental Typography: Rock Posters from the 60′s-70′s”. Instead of just grabbing an image from the web (which was the easy way to go… ugh, based on my current school deadlines, the way I SHOULD have gone), I decided that it’d be fun to just to my own, attempting to emulate that style of typography. Well, almost 4 hours (booo) later…

btw, colors are temporary… just wanted to try it out.

64 pages

My current assignment for a typography class is laying out a 64 page book. My topic, Experimental Typography: Rock Posters from the 60s-70s. While it initially was overwhelming, I found that once I got going, I really got into it. Anyways, you’ll have to follow this link to get to it… no way I’m trying to re-post all those images again. Enjoy your weekend.

EKGM: Screen Designs

The following are screens I intend to create for the EKGM project I’m working on. Both graphics are similar – text and girls. Both were created with off registration printing in mind. As I completed the 2nd of the two, I found that both text and girl can be interchangeable. The colorways aren’t set in stone, just something to get an idea of what I’m working with.

This was the first one created, set on a shirt to help you visualize it:

Here’s the 2nd graphic:

These final two images feature the text and girl swap-a-roo

Experimental Type

Here’s the quick design brief:

Choose a topic (Experimental Type), define and explore words that describe your topic, then construct a concept map.

Obviously, the latter is where the designer (aka me) would have an opportunity to get creative. Since I ride the BART almost daily, I figured that I’d lay out my map similar to a transit map. While this presented a number of design challenges, one of the more labor intensive challenges was constructing the map itself. However, once that was settled, the rest was considerably easier – admittedly, everything else still required detailed attention, but not like the map did. Anyways, here’s the final:

Lastly, big shout out to my local printers – Copymat. Not only are they the bomb dot com, the guys there took the time out to help me mount it (crazy easier with two people) in addition to teaching me a few tricks. Thanks again.

Agave Blue: Finally

Back in Spring 08, I created a menu and collateral for a fictitious tequila bar – Agave Blue. I had posted the process pictures but never the final project. Whilst working on my portfolio, I uncovered some pictures of the final. Unfortunately, the project itself was damaged beyond picture repair on the transport home, so the following is all I have left – unless of course I get it all reprinted – not likely. Anyways, here it is.

Electric Kittens Get Muddy

EKGM. It’s a 4 person collaborative of which I’m a contributor. I’ll be posting stuff there that might not make these pages. If you’re interested, you can check it at EKGMcollective.blogspot.com.

Sketchies 021709

I managed to do two pages of sketches today – woohoo! They’re all over the place (I know), but I like the composition of them, so I opted to apply no post sketch manipulations. Peace.

SF MOMA Mailer

One of my final projects for the semester included a mailer for the SFMOMA. It was a front and back mailer with information regarding the upcoming shows (I believe the information is real). Some of the requirements included using a logo redesign, informative tiering (of course), and images. Design was left to the imagination of the student. Due to the size of the final (18×24), I decided right away that I would make mine strictly B&W – with no image (admittedly, it was a requirement that I chose to ignore). I got some grief from my peers about this, but working within my imposed restrictions was harder than they probably think it was. Despite it’s lack of color and imagery, I thought I did a pretty decent job – I actually might slip it into my portfolio. Let me know what you think!

Diorama

The final project for my Interior Design class was to make a diorama. Not wanting to do a bedroom or anything, I opted to make an art installation featuring all the projects from the class (scaled down of course). Ok, less talking, more picturing.
