  • Advertisement for SCCC

    Here’s my final version of the SCCC (Seattle Central Community College) ad for Advertising class. I was inspired by soviet Russian space race postage stamps from the sixties. This is my first time working with a photographer being on the set and all and co-directing the shoot. I think this is a significant improvement than my first…

  • Redesigning Nation Magazine

    Before and After Critique. (Earlier Post Relating to This Project)

  • Mood Board for a Magazine

    I am making a sample of a magazine (cover and feature article). Today, I made a mood board, or as I want to refer to it Magazine Style Tile. I created version 2 after the critique. I changed the Color spectrum to be more proportionate to use of the colors. The headlines should be somewhat…

Not too long that you get invested in the nuances of the typography, but enough that you would have something to talk about. I spent an hour prior brainstorming, coming up with ideas related…

  • Book Jacket Design

    Book Making: PrintBookSignatures– Jill created this instructive guide to printing book signatures in InDesign (change printing range to the size of your signature, that way, when something goes wrong it’s not the whole book kind of wrong) I saw this record with embossed lettering and I thought they had used a photographic manipulation where you…
