Work in progress for a movie poster, More later.

Did a thing.

 I know it's not exactly design related but it's art, I did it, and I tried to be conscious of what I was doing.

I intended to put it into the art show but misread the entry form, ah well, if anyone wanted to buy it anyway I'd sell it to 'em.

Baskerville is awesome.

I'm all hyped about a font now. John Baskerville was a free-thinkin' man who made great strides in his field. His typeface was a step towards the future of type and nobody liked him because of it. Maybe one day I'll be able to scare my peers through my groundbreaking successes.

Anyway, I designed a poster for the font Baskerville. I tried to make something that felt fairly modern. I think I accomplished that, but I really need to study my cues for such things if I'm going to throw around such phrases.

Let me know in comments what you think of the image, what you would change, that sort of thing.

Everyone who has any plans to do design work in the future should probably read this.

Seriously.

What a mouthful

So what exactly are we looking at?


Has our author gone mad? Are shapes just not cool anymore? No. What you're looking at is a portrait of my good friend Jeremy Ruth done entirely in type. While the parameters of the class assignment include "Use nothing but type" I did a different version with a clean, black, background on the sly. That is what we are looking at.

My friend doesn't usually wander around with large black backgrounds and floating musical notes stalking his every move. (Though I'm sure if we willed it on the right day, it could happen) I added the background to better ground my image. All of the motion of the text got pretty lost amidst a white background. Don't believe me?

Right, it's still visually interesting, but it doesn't jump out quite as nicely in my opinion.And now for the laugh.

TRALALALALALAAAAA Rainbows!

SANDWICH!

Alright, this is killing me. I make a blog, tinker with some settings and  go home. Next thing I know I've burned an entire day making banners out of socks, photoshopping knit-patterns and taking ridiculous pictures of myself in compromising situations with peanut butter sandwiches.


BLOGGER! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME?

Also: Have some sandwich.

Of all the years I've wasted on the Internet.

It has taken a Graphic Design class to force me into making a blog. I'll most likely populate this with strictly on-topic comments, posts, and thoughts unless I become afflicted with the inclination to dance the dance of errant thinking all over my keyboard to your delight or horror. Depending on the health and welfare of your sense of humor, you can choose to ignore me, or lighten up and have a good time.

Your choice.
