Summer is OVER...

Here are a ton of random things (photos, digital work, sketches, paintings) that I have either finally scanned or done this summer. I didn't think they were that special on their own, but together I can put them all up. That's what a blog is for right?

Forests Poster

This is another project from one of my Graphic Design Classes. We were supposed to design a poster for any worthy cause. Not an organization or company, just a cause. After some sketching I thought of this skull/forest idea. I added some of my process work for fun. I was really pleased with how it came out. 16" x 20" digital print backed on black foam-core board.

Wedding Design Work

I got roped into more design work for my brother's wedding. My Mom wanted a poster that would help explain to the people who came to the reception how the couple had met and what their plans were for the future. She also had me create 2 other signs. A "Just Married" sign for the back of the motorcycle, and a sign for the food table. I hate working for family, but I think these turned out pretty good. The reception had a very natural+vintage+classy look and I think the posters helped. 

Lord of the Flies Dust Jacket

In my 2008 Freshman 2-Dimensional Design class we were assigned a book cover assignment. Our teacher wanted us to create a cover for one of our books. I created something I liked at the time, but now looking back I can see it was very sub par. Recently I decided to redo it to use it in my BFA application. I used the image that I had back in 2008 (my great roommate who was willing to pose with leaves in his hair and put pasta sauce on his face) and changed everything else. I was pleasantly surprised about the outcome. While in Utah (where I printed the book cover) I got to see my family, including my great brother in law who happens to be a photographer. He was willing to take some pictures of the book cover for me. Check out his stuff at http://www.pomazalphoto.com/#!utah_wedding_photographer/mainPage.
