The Advanced Graphic Design Class is working with an outside client to design a logo for the Edgecombe County Tourism Association and this is my research for that commission. 

More to come on the development of this project!

New Infographic for the Barton Student Newspaper

I have been allowed to create a Cooking/Recipe Column for the school paper! So, for my first article I created a recipe for a Homemade Pumpkin Spice Latte that is a healthier alternative to the Starbucks beverage. Instead of a photograph to go along with my article, I created this infographic. I absolutely love it, and I can't wait to see it in the paper!

This Infographic shows the recipe for the homemade pumpkin syrup that goes in the Latte. 

Designing a Letterhead and Envelope

Creating an Info-Graphic

I began with Referencing a standard color wheel and another infographic that I loved, which referenced emotions in correspondence with colors. I love this concept because I am such a visual thinker and I really do associate concepts with color. 

For my own infographic I wanted to incorporate a variety of concepts that could be associated with color, and I wanted to continue my work with geometric designs. 

I was inspired by these designs as well:

I began with a basic plan which i drew out in photoshop:

Then I designed the rest in Illustrator. Here is the final result:

I am so proud of this piece, it is my favorite graphic that I have designed so far!

Week 3: Business Card Designs

I was inspired by Josef Albers and his geometric composition:

so I recreated it in photoshop: 

Then created several variations of a card in InDesign, using that layout:

Then I used this photoshop Tutorial to make the design for the back of my card:

Week 3: Logo Research

Logo, Business Card, and 

Promotional Design Inspiration

Inspiration:

Yannick Chauvet

I really want to work on my business card that shows off some of my newer, more directed work. I really love the concept of black and white photos with a few bright colored ones. 

I love these compositions by artist Josef Albers and I think I might include the composition ideas for one of my photos and incorporate them in to some kind of logo design. 

 

Week 3: Peter Pan Research

Peter Pan Production Poster

Research

With the upcoming Barton Production of Peter Pan, I am currently hunting inspiration for a poster design... 

I really love the silhouetting in both of these posters, because I feel like the characters are so iconic, they aren't necessarily Disney-associated when they are silhouetted. Also I love the second one that has the huge Big Ben Clock in the background. although I think I will want to do something involving the star in the background and size down the clock so that it's still relevant, but more in-balance with the star. I want to emphasize the London- Neverland presence within the show.
