sketchbook

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. 

Collage

I found some cool images and made a weird collage with them in Photoshop.

SQUARES

I used some of the extra prints I made of my SQUARE poster to make this new piece:

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.

Knirps Umbrellas

Some ads for an upscale umbrella company. It was an assignment for my graphic design for advertising class.

OLDIES

I was looking thru some of the files on my laptop and came across some old work I had done for a friend's band. This was in the summer of 2008. I did some promo photos and designed their album cover.
