Grades

where are they? They were due yesterday. Tuition reimbursement beckons!!

Finished, almost

My posters are printing as I type. Last night (and the last week) was a late night. Fonstruct is not my friend. After several failed attempts at a typeface, I built one in Illustrator. This assignment gives me a new respect for typeface designers. And now its time to go home and take my dog on a nice long run.

It has been a great semester, thank you for all of the insightful input along the way. See you in class tonight!

revisions

Hey guys...

I revised my images to make them all 3d and did a lot of blood work. I still have to create my font which is going to be the movie titles. The type i used for the quotes is not mine, but i think it's almost perfect. What do you guys think about it so far...???

Finally...

Posters are printed, mounted, and trimmed. Trimming was a bitch...especially at 1:30 AM, but I wanted it done, so it's done. Big shout out to Bobby G. I saw him at the lab and whilst he dealt with his printing debacle he gave me some much needed insight on the various tools in Photoshop and Illustrator. Thanks for your patience dude, much appreciated. My final images are halftones, and not exactly alike between the pieces, but I like them enough to be satisfied. I received great feedback also from Tess and Meg earlier in the week. I considered distressing my self-created text per Tess and Bobby, but I think distressing that in addition to using the halftones is overkill. I like the contrast between the smooth typeface and halftone images, for better or worse. "The Making of a Killer" stays in...a direct reference to the migration of each of the movie's main characters from an innocent to a killer...and a play on words...ie. Stone made a movie about a killer. I fought myself about the grammar here, but it's quirky and fits with Stone's persona...so again, it stays. Wanna see them?...sorry, you'll have to wait! (sorry Tess!)

THANKS TO EVERYONE for a great semester. Although I have alot of of growing yet to do as a designer, I feel like I've grown immensely over these past few months. The critique is invaluable and the blog has been a tremendous resource. It's amazing how much you can grow personally from a class like this. It certainly doesn't hurt to have great people in your class either.

C y'all Thursday.

On my way…

It is 1:56 PM on Tuesday, I'm about to head to school to print out my posters, they will be mounted tonight and I will be done with many hours to spare. Good luck, mates. I think I'll take my crew on a long walk too.

Neenah paper app

Hey guys Neenah paper has this neat app for iphones. NEENAH THINKINK You can create custom color palettes base on photos on your iphone then share upload, etc...

Whataya think?

I'm feeling pretty good about it right now. I had U-Turn in the middle, but since the "the Making of a Killer text is bumped over more to the right due to the shears image, it made the group look uneven. The only thing I see now is that the images are causing a slight slope upwards to the right when viewed as a whole, but that's because of the double point on the open shears.

Where's my bourbon?...
