More Packaging

Here are some bottles for inspiration...

Last week I was offered an internship with SO SO Def Records. I'm excited about it, but it is unpaid, so I keep telling myself, "It's going to be a great experience." Here are a couple of e-fliers I did to promote the release of JD'S latest album.

So I think I am going to stick with the South African wine Jabulani, which is the Zulu word for happiness. Their whole motto is about embracing life, "JABULANI HAPPENS WHEN YOU MAKE YOUR OWN MUSIC OR SHARE WARM LAUGHTER."

I kind of think that they went a little overboard with the animal patterns, but on their site, their explanation for using them is really good.

These are some of the bottles I feel need to be redesigned.

Wine Bottles

When searching for wine bottles, I took alot of pics of bottles that may of had 1 or 2 things that I liked, whether it was the color, shape, or design on the bottle.Here are some of the pics.

Final Poster

I really like the way it looked in other colors, but I knew it wouldn't of worked. I may post them later.

Get Out The Vote

Here are some variations of my poster.

A couple of new movie posters that I like.

Revised Logo and Poster

In class Logo and Poster

Well the image with type thing wasn't really working for me so I decided maybe I should try using type as an image. Here are the results. My latest logo for the Ernest G. Welch School of Art and Design. I'm not really sure how readable it is, so I was thinking that I may have to restate the name over again somehow. Tell me what you think. All comments are welcome.

Grid Systems

Grid Systems: Principles of Organizing Type by Kimberly Elam

This is a book I found while perusing Borders art section. I think it's a really good book if you are considering creating posters around grids or would like to see how designers in the past did. They use traparent grids over classic posters to show you how the designer aligned the type and photos. I remember Lizz showing us something like this is History of Grd last semester.

Original Idea

My original idea was to use either windows or steps as imagery for the logo because I feel that they are very symbolic. Here are my original sketches.

Ideas for the school logo that were crushed in class.

Interesting...

while looking up logos online, I came across a logo for 9/11 that looks eerily similar to the one I did last year for Jeffs typography class. Its the redesigned version.

Best Work
