Awesome.

Making icons make sense...

The weird things about humans is some icons make way more sense than others. It's not for any particular reason, but sometimes they DO. Hope these do. I went through a few variations of these for before settling.

Form and Comm process

Close to being done!

Form and Comm Inspiration

Awesome use of color and layout. That text in the middle is brilliant.

Final Posters

Here's two of my completed posters. I much prefer the grid one. Kavinsky, the artist, works with samples from 1980s-1990s videos, and creates a very '80s police feel to his work. I tried to emulate that in the grid poster by using the colors that Kavinsky does in his illustrate avatar and typefaces common in 1980's design.

Inspiration Post!

Awesome 1960's style poster design. Eric Tan has the apparent dream job of working for Pixar and doing exactly what he loves - making awesome 1960's style posters.

Mini-book

Here's a page from my mini-book. I'm planning on adding a texture to the background and changing the colors a bit, but I've got the basic layout for one. I'm also thinking about knocking out the photo of the band so they're just white. I need a lighter color instead of dark, I think. I've got a similar thing going on here I want to emulate on the other pages, but with a lighter color:

Avatar vs. Papyrus

I saw Avatar about three months ago, and Papyrus bothered me. It wasn't until a few days ago that I actually compared the title typeface with Papyrus and noticed they were different.



Papyrus is pink. For some reason, and I'm sure more than a few artists involved with this movie fought it, but Cameron's team used Papyrus as a base, but changes the widths and strokes. This is especially evident in this screenshot:



You can see the "pits" in the letter are identacle, the stroke has just been widened.

I just wish it was something else.
