Design History Recap

Design History was a great class. This is a recap of the projects he had us work on.

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

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.

Digital Imaging Movie Poster Design

Project for Digital Imaging - Design a movie poster. We were to come up with two concepts, then finish out one of them. I finished out both for extra credit. We were also able to design a dvd cover and teaser poster for extra credit, so I just covered by bases and did both.

This was my final movie poster - documentary about alcoholism.

the dvd cover for the documentary

the teaser poster for the documentary - it is hard to see but in the tree there is a transposed family tree.

This was my second concept - It was a horror movie about an oil rig and an environmentalist.

I even came up with my own production studio logo. - peachick productions

Updated Mask Posters

I have recently realized that I have not posted several of my projects from last quarter, so here we go.

These are the finals of three of the mask posters. My teacher gave me a critique and asked that I revise them. I think they turned out MUCH better. The sugarplum poster with the pink feathers stayed the same but the other three were changed. Here are a few pictures to show you the final posters.
