80s posterr

The current poster:

80sss

So I was doing some research for Paige's 80's poster project, and look what I found. Check out the 10th poster down. What a small world...

Anyway, here's some stuff I'm thinking about. I thought this poster was gonna be super easy, but for some reason I decided to use Photoshop, and it's taking me a while to figure out what I want... I've got a couple different directions going on right now.

EDIT: jk guys, I'm going the space/geometry direction. I feel like this is going places.

...added a few things. I still have to iron out the typography and maybe add some finishing touches in photoshop, but I'm pretty much done.

Something super bright and typographic?

Or something with this wolf? Perhaps quoting Duran Duran?

Also, here's one of my ideas for the Ted Talk collateral posters. This kindof looks like a book cover rigth now though... I'll add more information later.

Mad Men Season 5 Marketing

FORM 2011 WHAT

FORM 2011 finally came in the mail! And I'm in it! Oh yeah. I'm a little sad that I only got the paperback version, since the hardcover looked way better, but it was $50, and that's crazy.

some poster design

So this weekend I re-read The Perks of Being a Wallflower, which I think is coming out as a movie sometime soon this year. Anyway, it's a great book. I made a quickie poster from one of the pictures I took a couple weeks ago and an excerpt. I'm still not entirely satisfied, though...

sound clips

So I haven't played around much with SoundCloud, but here's a set of samples of the kind of thing I'm thinking about. The clip I'm really attached to is first.

more dexter?

Yeah, I don't know either.

...BOOKS

I want some of these sweet bookshelvessss

Design Within Reach is a great site to find home decor like this that doesn't look like it's from Walmart.

Also when I finally get a camera and lenses, I want this. My lenses will be forever mistaken for burritos, as they should be.

posters update

So here's what's going on right now. I still have to iron some things out, like taglines and throwing the season number and times in there, but I feel pretty good about where these three are going.

poster progress

Here's what I have so far. I keep going back and forth between Mad Men, Dexter, and White Collar.

I'm hoping I can make both the White Collar ones work by tonight, but, clearly, I have a while to go before that happens...

new year, new stuff, new posts

Winter break is almost over, and I'm feelin' pretty good...despite the fact that I've gotten almost nothing finished yet. Really, there's no almost about it. I have nothing finished right now. On the upside, I watched three seasons each of Supernatural and Mad Men, and got a couple new pairs of boots, and a new laptop with a working battery so I can finally design without having to be at my apartment. This opens up so many opportunities...where will I finish these projects? The aquarium? The roof of my house? The creepy chem lab? The hallway, five minutes before they're due? Who knows! The options are endless :) 

I also got a bunch of art books for Christmas, which you can bet will come in handy when I'm sitting on the roof or in the hallway or whatever wondering what the hell I'm doing with my life. But, we have at least a couple weeks before that kind of thing starts happening...

Design New Years Resolutions:

- Learn After Effects and Cinema 4D

- Get an internship this summer

- Get an internship this semester?

- Start doing more illustrative/custom typography

- Find some freelance work?

- Figure out why the shit Blogger won't let me change my background.

- Make at least one personal poster/month

- Quit writing retarded blog posts as an excuse to upload random pictures
