100 IMAGES POSTER 2.0

My first attempt at the poster didn't go too well. Too generic, kinda figured that would happen. So for this one I put a little more Anna into it, and it turned out a billion times better in my opinion. My teacher loved it. I guess being true to yourself goes for when you're designing too.

100 Images poster

This is a rough idea for a poster for a possible exhibition at Pratt that would feature "100 Images That Have Changed the World".

weird

These posters were a project for my silkscreening class. We could pretty much do anything we wanted as long as it used at least 4 layers. I had been thinking of doing something using the sculpture from in front of the Erie Art Museum for a while, so I combined that image with the phrase "Keep Erie Weird".  The first poster is with 4 layers, and the second one only has 3. I kind of prefer the second one.

Finished gig poster

This is what evolved from my previous post. I used a mixture of stencils, paintmarker, typography, and some screenprinting (or my version of it). I was getting mixed messages from the class critiques, so I tried taking a little bit of what was said each week. Worked my butt off but my teachers hated each version I did. Not everyone is going to love everything you make though. 

GIG POSTERS ROUND 1

I've been working on rebranding a rapper named Shyne for my Typography class for the last couple of weeks. I'm still tweeking the logo, but I just finished some roughs of gig posters inspired by a graffiti artist from Trinidad. I'll post the finished products when I'm done.

SQUARE

For my screen printing class we were told to make a print that was "us". I came up with this poster. I feel like it is a pretty good representation of the way I design and also a little bit of my personality. I've been called a space cadet by my friends many times so I incorporated someone on the moon, and the circle that says "square" is representative of my sense of humor. I tend to like things that are a little weird. If you look at the letters you can find the letters of my last name. Along the side was the date I came up with the design.

Clinton Art and Music Festival

 

 

Our class was asked to design a poster for Clinton NY's 5th Annual Art and Music Festival. I came up with an image that could be used in several different ways and applied it to a tee and some different types of paper. Above are some of the applications and my preliminary sketches. They said they would be using the one they liked the most. Crossing my fingers...

Gallery Opening

This is a poster I designed for the show my roommates and I are having. I used a font called "THESORDEN" and did a collage using pictures of the four of us. The eyes are mine.

A lot of the pieces in the show are on this blog, so that can give you a little bit of an idea what it'll look like. I hope it goes well...

don't cry over scary posters

haven't had too much to post until recently. midterms were last week so i got a crap load of stuff done. still figuring out how to post illustrator and indesign stuff on here, but for now i've got my poster design for school's halloween party and some self portrait studies of me crying for my methods and media class. normally i wouldn't really want to put up unflattering pictures of myself crying but i was really happy with how they turned out, and i was totally acting so it's not so bad. the poster was a project for my design procedures class. we were supposed to make a 10x14 poster that had some sort of pattern to it. the pattern could basically be anything as long as there was a halloween theme and it was repeated somewhere. i went the creepy fog route.
