collage !!!

 This week in college we had to make a collage. This project was different from the others because it wasn't done on the computer. AT ALL. It was totally hands on which was kinda sick. The subject or theme or basis of the collage was a song & we had to do our best to put that song into visual form using whatever pictures/materials we could find. it was a really interesting project because i've never made a collage before so i didn't know how it was going to turn out.
 The song I picked was 222 by the flatbush zombies. They're a group from New York that makes really good music. They're really into spirituality, governmental corruption & things of that nature. I picked the song because it basically sums up their entire album/message. Also, when I saw them in concert it seemed like that was one of the most important songs they played & not only that but it is one of my favorites.
 My collage is a lot of pictures that I felt went along with the song & the message of the song. The eye of horus is the focal point. I chose that for the focal point because not only is it a significant symbol but it is mentioned in the song. Throughout the collage there are various pictures, words, & numbers that I felt should be there. I tried to stray away from using too many random pictures that just fill up space.

week 4

this week in my design course our teacher instructed us to make a take out menu. at first i was kinda skeptical about it because i don't know shit about making take out menus but as with anything i was just going to try my best & work as hard as i could on it & it actually turned out really well just like all of my other projects have. i'm really happy about having such a wide variety of things i can create. it's definitely going to help me in the long run when i run into potential customers.

WEEK 3

3rd week in self promotion & marketing/illustrator & i'm feeling really accomplished. We did package design for our project & i think mine turned out well. I used the font from american horror story to give it a creepy/cool feeling & simple colors like black & white to keep it, well, simple. personally when we do projects & design i don't like to go overboard with colors, pictures, etc.. i like to keep things simple & clean looking but at the same time put some of my personality into it. that sounds kind of lame but i definitely think it's important to put some of yourself into everything you create.

graphic design week 2

for the last two weeks in my graphic design course we had been creating logo's for different bakeries. the logo i had to create was for a bakery. it didn't take too long to come up with idea's but what took the longest was deciding which one best expressed the feeling i was trying to convey. personally i think i did a pretty good job & when i presented it seemed that everyone including the teachers liked my logo designs.

graphic design week 1

so far i've had a pretty good experience in my graphic design course. it's lowkey exciting all of the stuff that we're going to be able to make by the time we're done. i don't even really care too much for schooling but this is different because not only is my teacher cool but i get to just create shit that i think looks call every week. i'm pretty satisfied with my path choice because i really don't care for monogamous 9 to 5 desk jobs. I'd much rather be doing something that allows me to be creative all day. now i'm in a self promotion & marketing course which is pretty helpful because not only is it going to help me with the whole graphic design thing but anything i want to do overall i'm going to need to know how to promote myself & market whatever it is i'm trying to sell. everything is looking pretty good so far.
