GSU Night at Six Flags Postcard and T-Shirt.

I think the piece is stronger when ticket locations are here revealing more of the blurred coaster pic:


But they wanted it to stand out more:

Shirt Disclaimer:

1.) It was not my decision to rip off the classic Master Card campaign, I was told to do it. I fought it, but I was defeated.


I'm always getting defeated by the non-design trained higher ups. There are only so many ways to remind them,
I'm the designer, remember? Who's to say my way is better than their way, but still... I'm the designer... I am. ;)

Personal Logo Exploration - Digital Sketches






These are first first first drafts/ideas/digital sketches.

Fun NYC Signage

Glam signage on the sidewalk and walls of Manhattan:



A mirror in the hallway of Hotel Paramount off Times Square, depending on the weather, certain words illuminate, very cool:


On Coney Island:

An abandoned boardwalk game:


Coney Island logo on a t-shirt:


I don't know what to say, but I love it:

Sign Mock Up Phase I





Hands On Atlanta Signage Renders

EXTERIOR:

Their existing storefront is excellent, and lends itself very well to the concept of industrial/renew/recycle/etc. Applying a large 3D logo as the main sign will really catch the viewers eye when they are looking for or just driving around the store. The giant type says entrance so the user is not confused as to where to go, it is made very clear here, in a visually exciting way, I mean, who doesn't love giant type?, that the entrance is to the right.


Small teasers of the big giveaway sign will serve as the road signs for way-finding. The cropped logo serves as the teaser. The company name remains in tact though, and an arrow (drawn in the same style as the logo mark) directs the driver or pedestrian where to go.



INTERIOR

Interior signage will mimc the builidings exterior signage when the curvature and brush metal texture of the way-finding signs is used in the room signs as well.


The logo is repurposed here as a label for the restrooms. A subtle technique I am using to give the volunteer more of an experience.


A poor rendering of the type on the floor. "Make Something Better" is the new slogan I came up with for H.O.A. The existing slogan, "Do something good" lends itself very well to the organization, but "make something better" reinforces the logo's concept of renewing/reusing.
