Specialty Item

Over the weekend, I cut metal with fire, then w a laser. Cool man.

Getting Better at Photoshop

It was beautiful outside, and I only spent 1 hour outside, and it was spent taking pictures. Then I spent a few hours editing the pictures, and when I was done, it wasn't nice out anymore. It was worth it though, because I made some cool signs and improved my photoshop skills.

I got a little something out

I'm still unsure about the composition here. I think I need to find a color for the type that will read on top of the picture, and maybe edit the picture more.

I Have Designer's Block

There's good news and there's bad news

Bad news

I spent $75.00 on an army man costume and a very realistic toy gun. I then spent 5.5 hours editing pictures of myself in the costume, to make it look like a real soldier. It took so long to edit the pictures because I was combining three images into one. Each of the four images contains elements from the following:

1. The images from the original poster.

2. New pictures of me in a costume holding a gun.

3. Faces from various personal photos of mine.

**note RE the top right image, the costume I wore for that was a towel on my head and a sheet around my body, and some pajama pants that were too short for me.

The Faces

Top left: My friend Leo's face

Bottom right: My face

Bottom left: A face I drew using illustrator

Top right: A combination with my grandmother's face and my face, lol

Good news

My rally poster from GRD 3000 looks much better from a graphic standpoint. Also, with careful folding, I may be able to return the costume. =^)

Wouldn't it be nice

Wouldn't it be nice if we could really turn this into an actual 12 x 18 reflective aluminum street sign?

Maybe I will.

Yeah, but no.

Skate Escape Ads: I am happy with the funny idea using the icon and societal messages, like don't drink and drive, etc. I think that will make a great series, but these actual designs are not at all of what the final products will look like- they're more like digital sketches just to get me started.

They would all look like this but with different angles in the shadows.

Out with the Old, in with the New

The newly redesigned book cover promotes readability and true devotion to the design style of David Carson. I hope he would appreciate my first attempt, and my second (and much more successful) attempt at his design style.

Out with the old...
