I've Been Missing

2010-04-16T05:33:00.000-07:00

Sorry I've been missing (Not like anyone noticed on this blog) But I do have a gap in my posts for my own record so update time with some new stuff.

JACKRUBY

My cousin Jack is currently producing music with the stage name JackRuby (based on assassin of lee harvey oswald) This is first round of concepts for album cover.

American Justice System

Style Sheets for newest project, Motion Graphic for Problems in the American Justice System.

Presti's

Just needs comp'ing and photographing! Basically this is it though.

Ready Paint

2010-03-21T18:17:00.001-07:00

the READY paint concept is that people lack the knowledge of paint and are scared of it. This is a very clear easy to use paint with explanations and everything you need to get started and do the job right.

So this will drape over the side of the carton to act like a security blanket, it is going to be placed on a very simple carton so that the color of the striped packaging will gain the attention and hopefully the color will give people a sense of the flavor and get them to identify with it that way.

More Gelato

2010-02-20T11:10:00.001-08:00

Gelato anyone?

2010-02-19T17:18:00.001-08:00

little spoon gelato by presti's bakery its going to be a mix of 2 gelato flavors each on their own side but when you eat them youll have to mix and thats when the goodness happens

Helping a friend

2010-02-15T11:31:00.000-08:00

10 min helping a friend with a "cool intro page for this thing for class" quite discriptive so you can imagine my frustration after sending the first one when he responds "could you make it look more like its for drumming"

Pulling out my hair

2009-04-09T00:35:00.001-07:00

So I was working out the other day and dropped a 70lb. barbell on my workout log book which was just a crappy small notebook that cost me like 4$ from target. Needless to say the 4$ book did not fair well agaisnt the weight, and it wasnt work very well for me I was only able to fit one day's worth of workout on one page and it was hard to keep organized, basically just not working out well for me. So being the designer I am i figured i could just make my own at kinkos for about the same price with stuff on it that I want. Heres an hours worth of my time. I have so many different covers for it because I have a lot of friends and my dad who would probably like this so I'm going to make a few see how they go over!

VCD Junior Review Poster

2009-03-31T12:12:00.000-07:00

First and probably only attempt at GD2: Junior Review Poster time constraints printing something over 18inches when 90 have to print them takes a long time.

Can you tell the old from the new?

2009-03-19T08:13:00.000-07:00

So here is another remake of the orignal I feel like I have to redo these the old ones just seem so awful to me how could i have ever made anything that ugly?!

Old Layout Remade

2009-03-19T03:15:00.001-07:00

Remade a layout I did at the beginning of my Jr year the one i made was very lame this one took me less then 1/4 of the time and I think looks much better.

Non-Traditional Book

2009-02-26T11:38:00.000-08:00

Well heres first round of non traditional book designs, its really like the 5 or 6th idea ive explored its looking decent, i find that its easier for me to let go of bad ideas these days which is nice i think instead of trying to push though/ this idea is not even half done but i like the direction its going

2009-02-12T08:42:00.000-08:00

This is an Illustration I'm working on that has only a few simple rules it can be about whatever we want, but! it must include 7 things (stretching some of them of course)
Athletic Shoe(s)
An Oversize Flotation device
Time of Day
Swiss Cheese
Twins
Inside and Outside
and a Fish
Still needs a few things but close.

Second Cover. More Graphical

2009-02-06T15:07:00.000-08:00

Ok well this is due Monday so I've been working on it a little bit. This feels close to done some minor things left, also I gotta figure out where to print it and get the paper if I'm going to have to use 2 sheets neatly pasted together or not its around 24 inches wide. Still gotta figure out what to do with the inside front of it...

Exercise 1: Graphic Design 2

2009-01-29T07:39:00.000-08:00

Well this is my first update, we're working on a book cover for a random person in the class I ended up with someone I've somehow never met. He seems nice enough but very quiet so its hard to get a read on him. I know he likes to illustrate so I'm trying to play off that somehow. These are both just in progress for the moment I just needed to get something posted finally!

First Blog

2008-12-18T21:41:00.000-08:00

Horay, my blogging cherry is now popped hope someone see its.
