We went to the White Crow Papermill in Fleetwood, Pa today with some of the people in my department. Making paper has always interested me. It was definitely refreshing to see some of the alternative ways that they made paper. One of the professors in the art department owns this place so that’s why we visited them….
Moments after news broke about Steve Jobs’ death, a rainbow popped out of the Pixar campus (taken with my iPhone 4). Rest in peace, Steve, and thank you. SOURCE Steve Jobs bought a small studio, “The Graphics Group” in 1986 and later renamed is “Pixar”. iSad. We Sad. World Sad. “Apple has lost a visionary…
This is probably a premature decision. But I’m currently inspired and moved to go to University of Tartu in Estonia to get a Master’s degree in Semiotics…the study of signs and sign processes (semiosis), indication, designation, likeness, analogy, metaphor, symbolism, signification, and communication. Its basically a combination of philosophy, linguistics and communication. I figured it…
So this is just a concept mockup that I have going on with the semeion apothecary package design. Not sure how I like it… I’m going to be making my own jar this friday out of a homemade clay that has the look and feel of porcelain and kind of like the adobe used in…
We’ve got a package design project coming up. I love package design and being the nerd I am, I’ve started on it early cause I had an idea and I wanted to get a comp done. I spent a good portion of this evening working on client projects. I’ve got two going on right now…
So this past month I got my application together to apply for the Graphic Design Communications internship at the Disney Institute at Lake Buena Vista in Florida. This week I got an email from them to schedule a phone interview for next friday! Basically to talk about my interests, skills and experience. Very excited. Let’s…
Haven’t gotten a grade for this yet… this is one of my 5 book covers I had to do in a week and then do corrections for. Sorry for the quality of the images, I’ve taken them with my cell phone, I’ll take better ones for my portfolio later. I’m just really pleased with this…
I got an A- on this logo. 🙂 But I still can’t figure out the colors for it. Not sure what to go for. The one below is what I’m currently using. I do like the thinner lines of the logo, but it doesn’t work so well now with the green/gold colors. I like green,…
So while I was researching for next project; creating 5 book covers due next wednesday. I’m doing a book cover based on Design Aesthetic Philosophy (or design philosophy, basically what I write about). I came across a philosopher whom I haven’t heard of; Prof. Arnold Keyserling. He was all about brain coherence and the grammar…
The “philosophy of a lightbeam” concept logo turned out to be not everyone’s favorites. There was too much going on. I also realized its not as ‘original’ as the first logo concept I had. Here is the modified one in black and white: I really like how the positive and negative space interacts with one…
So I’ve been doing quite a bit of research on brands and identities and found a lot of great examples on Designspiration.net and Deviantart.com… I even have a comp going.. and now am looking for ways to incorporate the text while keeping the unity and balance it currently has. I’m basing it off the ‘philosophical geometry…
