This project was after learning about Push Pin Studios and Milton Glaser. You should take some time to look over their work at http://www.pushpininc.com/ .
We were told to take an existing book or CD and redesign the cover using the style of push pin.
This was the final piece I turned in on top, and then next two were my original mock ups.
This was earlier in the quarter, where we were told to pick a designer or style we had been studying and design a poster of for an art opening. I chose Karel Teige who worked with some interesting photo montage and graphical elements. http://www.nyu.edu/greyart/exhibits/teige/
In this project, we were told design a book cover, title page and two page layout based on a designer or style and/or in their style. I chose Will Burtin who did really interesting things with mixing science and design. http://www.creativereview.co.uk/cr-blog/2007/november/will-burtin-forgotten-master-of-design
Book Cover
Title Page
Layout page one

This was my final for this class. We were asked to design a portfolio cover for our own portfolio. No rules, no sizes, no instructions. This has a lot of detail that I am not sure pick up in this photo.
