Hello All

Thanksgiving dinner was great. My dear daughter made it this year. We had more than enough to eat that is for sure. I got some good pictures of the grandkids too.

I suppose I should have posted my last assignment. I need a better picture of one of them though. This project was open to a lot of imagination for a change.

Last Weeks Assignment

It looks like I forgot to post last weeks assignment for the Design & Color Class. I suppose it is better late than never. It's funny how my scrapbooking has intertwined with Graphic Design. I find myself using my scrapping tools to work on some of these projects. At least they aren't gaining too much dust...LOL

These first two images are of my organized chaos of a coffee table. This was what it looked like during the design process. I never claimed to be neat and tidy when working on something so I am certain you won't be surprised by what you see. These next images are the finals for the project.

We needed to do them as follows:

Text As A:

• Line
• Texture
• Shape

I don't think they turned out too badly. The small size thing is really getting to me though. I have issues seeing the small stuff. There is a reason for it and I do understand though a wee bit larger wouldn't hurt a thing..LOL

Mini Table Menus

This is one of the other projects for Typography II. I am in the process of finishing up the second menu. We were given the words for the menu. We had to create the name, the logo, and organize it all onto a 4 x 5 inch area. I drew the little pie, scanned it into the computer and then took it into Illustrator to finish it off.

The last billboard

Almost forgot to post this.

Design & Color

This project that I just completed actually turned out pretty cool. I am really happy with the end result. I started with a sketch that was 4 inches x 4 inches. I scanned it into my computer then played with it in Illustrator. Flipping the tail and removing the legs. I then scaled it up to an 8 inch x 8 inch image and printed it out. Once it was printed I then traced over the image removing some more of the detail. My final trace became the bare minimum of the image that still allows you to recognize what it is. There were a total of about 7-10 images before the final product.

I have also completed one for "Painted Ranch Designs." I have had this name for I think 6 years or more and have just now finished one logo for it. I posted this after the last Dragon Polish Logo.

Billboards For Typography II

Here are a couple of billboards we had assigned in class this past week. The first image is of a billboard I drive by every day. I remade this with the one below it. The second one, we were to design a billboard for our favorite radio station.
