Logo design

I created this for my sister, who likes to do a lot of cooking, crafting, knitting, crocheting, type of stuff. She likes coming up with new ideas as much as I do. Hers are more fabric-y type of ideas, and cooking ideas, while mine tend to be artistic, graphic design, photography, pen to paper and drawing, type of ideas. So now, hopefully, she'll have a tag/logo to go with her stuff.

Seven Hills Press Release

Making use of InDesign, I came up with a press release for Seven Hills, a middle school for boys in Richmond, Virginia. We were to come up with a fictional event, and write a press release for it. I tried to include as much information as I could in the press release, but ended up running out of space, so it is not as detailed as I'd like it to be. Because I saved it as a pdf

Green Project

I tried to lay these out in order of how they were thought up. The first one thought up is the one that looks extremely like a laptop, and then right for the next one. This was a green project with the objective to help promote an object that was seen as "green" or environmentally friendly. I chose Asus' bamboo laptop, and decided to explore the element of bamboo a little bit further. Another thing that we had to do was use a graphic designer/artist for inspiration for our poster. My inspiration was drawn from a graphic artist from Buenos Aires, Argentina, Pablo Alfieri. Looking over various projects he had done, I used his inspiration of typography and making use of basic shapes, as well as vivid coloration, to help with my design, especially for the Asus logo. I changed the Asus logo and used the coloring of bamboo leaves, and the bamboo used for the laptop to build a new logo. Also I made use of the elements of nature to help with the typography, expressing Asus' slogan for their laptop "Inspired by nature. Designed for style," choosing to ignore their other saying "Go Bamboo."




this is the final piece which was turned in.
