Damn. So much for updating as frequent as I can.

Been working on a lot of projects lately. Gonna posts some pieces up, as soon as I get them printed. I’ve been surfing on the internet whenever I can possible, and there’s been a lot of inspirational pieces that I found.  It’s so moving to see what design can do to you.  I’ve been trying to focus on designing a poster for awhile. The biggest size I’ve designed for is 11×17.  I’ve pushed mself to design for 18×24. Playing with type is a bit challenging, as what you see on a screen is comletely different from a printed version.  Mind you, printing it costs double, sometimes even triple the costs especially if you have bleeds and full colour.

Take a look at this. It’s a grad poster. I’m working on a similar concept: promoting our grad show: Area 17.

The piece beside the poster is a very complicated piece. All the type connects as you unfold it. Everything was thoroughly planned and thought out. I absolutely love the whole grid background idea. I think I’ll use that for my next project.
