I've decided that I am going to learn some new techniques in Ps to create my movie poster. It has been a while since I messed with some tutorials, I'm looking forward to learning new stuff.
I am also going to shoot my own photography and create all the illustrations I use myself. Since we are creating a custom typeface, might as well go total DIY on this.
By the way, feels good to be 1/3 the the way done with these assignments, right? I'm finishing project 2 this week as originally planned. I feel like the extra time is an invitation to procrastinate which could mean the last project isn't a winner for me. I want it to be, I want some posters in my portfolio that aren't political, the few I have in the rotation are very political. These should be cool & fun. Thankfully I have been working on 1 & 2 all along. Good luck to you guys.
Also, does everyone feel like the project 1 they turned in was portfolio quality? Why or why not? I think some of mine could be in my portfolio, not permanent, but alternative pieces that I would use depending on the interview. I like what I have done, it meets all of my requirements for the client: minimize cost, create a clear, distinguishable mark, easy to reproduce, appropriate, minimizes waste and up-front investments, creates a very distinct identity, etc. I also think the stamp and sticker ideas make a very unusual and successful solution to re-branding BBW. Thanks everyone for helping me discover that. What about you?

Bobby, I think your stuff is the shit. Just excellent! You created an environment for BBW that never even existed. Nuff props on the job you've done from concept to final outcome. especially the stamp and the neon signs, they were money! I hope you can work out a good paycheck or possibly free BBQ for a long time.
I like the job i did on my re-branding of AHP. I know the organization very well and the people who run it. I think I trapped my self a few times by placing all the knowledge I had of AHP ahead of having some fun and being creative with the project. I definitely have to thank you because a changing moment for me is when you simply said "What would Drew do?" That went much further than just AHP too. I refer to it every time i get designer's block. And it just tells me to just do the damn thing. My creativity gets institutionalized. It comes from doing hundreds of projects for 1 place. So i appreciate your input as well as the class' and Amy's input for helping me breath the fresh air of creativity that we all love so much!
