Here’s my book for my Color/Form class. After all the photos I had to shoot and re-shoot, I’m glad it’s done. (Seriously… Over 1000 photos to get 8 good ones.) Overall, my hard work was worth it. I’m pretty happy with how it turned out. <
I saw the film “Typeface” last night. I ended up sitting near a large group of classmates who I’m sure all share the same feelings about design that I have. They even conversed about their common hatred for the Gap logo redesign. I love my classmates. They’re as snobby as I am. “Typeface” tells the Read More
I’d like to reveal to the world my new logo: Beautiful, right?No?Aw, man… …But in all seriousness, It’s come to my attention that Gap clothing co. has redesigned their logo.

I picked quite possibly the most awesome element ever! Heck yeah!
This was really fun! However, I had a problem with the beans rolling around on my paper. I need to figure out a way to keep them stuck to the page when I’m constructing my letters. Double-sided tape, perhaps?
Some of my thoughts on the Helvetica film: I’ve seen Helvetica a few times before, and every time I see it and hear the people talk about it, something inside me sparks and lights up. I love this stuff. It’s how I know I’m meant to do graphic design. I especially like when a couple of Read More
