FSC Progress
Still going... One more. Kind of playing off the idea of forests just floating in little pieces of the world. Hah. Scary.

Word Play
The objective of my current assignment in Advanced Typography is to create a list, it could be about anything, and then illustrate it using only type. Here are my current sketches.
1) Mexico, United States, Texas
[Illustrating the immigration of mexicans to the united states via texas]
2) Cumulus, Status, Cirrus
[Illustrating cloud names by their position in the sky, body density, and colors.]
3) Benjamin, Franklin
[Very few people know that Benjamin Franklin invented the bifocal lens]
I'm sure my teacher will hate them all, because I like them and we disagree on most things. We shall see.

Snappy
I do believe I'm the only one that likes the new Snapple Logo and thus I'm here to state why.
I didn't particularly find anything in the old packaging that I didn't like but I do believe the new packaging is clean and well done. The font face used for "Snapple" is simply beautiful. The subtle "S" on the glass bottle and the "all natural" slipped into the "S" and "l" space up top were great ideas! I think most people are just offset that the "Snapple" is no longer diagonal. I'm cool with that. I think it's great that more brands are taking away that tacky "LOOK AT ME and my cluster of obnoxious colors and geometric shapes!" look.

Please remember to turn your lights off for just one hour. Take that time to play cards with friends, read a book, go for a bike ride, whatever you do for an hour remember on March 28th at 8:30 pm, turn off your lights! It's a cause worth participating in and so easy to do!

March!!!
About one second ago I realized that it is now March. Where has all the time gone? It's so crazy. Although when it feels like time is going quickly, when I think about it in terms of projects I've completed at school, I realize I haven't been back at it that long.
Illustration Methods isn't going as well as I had hoped it would be. But the next project should be great. The assignment is to pick a demographic and come up with your own line of desk supplies. I'm heading somewhere between adult and young adult. My theme is retro designs with modern colors made with Eco Friendly materials, like FSC certified woods and natural fibers. I'm going to call the line, Sundance Supplies. Should be fun. We're just working on preliminary sketches now.
Other classes have been going well I suppose. My Team Ad and Graph class is working on an assignment to advertise for "Tools". Now my team wasn't my first pick in the beginning but it's really ended up working out for us. We chose to represent Utrecht Art Supplies. I've kind of been labeled the art director of the group which is fine because I'm the only serious Ad Graph Major in the group. I've been in charge of the Logo and Packaging mostly.
Presentation for that project is in a couple weeks. Hopefully it goes weel.
One assignment I've wrapped up recently is my Ad and Graph two page spread assignment. We had to chose and article that did not come with any photos or illustrations and chose a magazine to lay it out in. I chose an article related to the Mayan prediction of 2012 and this is what I came up with.
The illustrations are done in Micron Pen and then later I scanned them in and colored them in Illustrator.
I'd appreciate any and all criticisms of these works.
I'll check in soon again. PROMISE!
