Félicitations, Adrian Frutiger!

Randomly stumbled upon some amusing compositions from Silhouette Masterpiece Theatre.

Holy moly! Two month with no updates. I thought I would post some of the work that's been keeping me so busy during the weeks and weeks I've been away.



For my Design Principles and Strategies class we had to design a brand identity for a fictional English tea shop in the trendy Fells Point neighborhood. I choose the name Grey (a play on London weather and English tea varieties). We also had to use our logo to design a number of items including tea packaging (from left to right: Classic Grey, Double Bergamot, and Green Citrus).

In my Design Principles and Strategies class, I've been doing a lot of abstract compositions to demonstrate, well, design principles and strategies--not much that I would want to share. But I thought I would go ahead and post this week's assignment, which was to make patterns demonstrating the concepts of repetition, similarity, and anomaly because patterns are purdy.





Just one more week of abstract concepts (YAY!), and then we'll be doing some book covers, a series/set of three. I think I am going to do a series of Modern American Classics, including Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy, American Pastoral by Philip Roth, and White Noise by Don DeLillo. Gotta get reading...

Some really beautiful stop motion work by Oren Lavie and a sweet song to boot...

I've been working on a little speculative project and have been fiddling with some cover ideas, and I was wondering which cover you all think looks best. It's a graphic novel set in the 40s in the classic crime/mystery genre. Any and all comments are welcome. There is a poll on the side there if you want your vote to be counted.

I saw this technique used on a poster about a year ago. Just this week I saw it used on a Threadless T and the new Animal Collective record, Merriweather. Pretty neat, huh?
