This is EXACTLY how I feel right now.
At least school’s finally winding down…
Then I’ll really be FREAKING OUT!

Everything all of the time.
Awesome. I would love to design some cool products such as these instrument effect units one day. I really like how the design wraps around all of the knobs and button. I love the bright colors and funky choice of characters and design. I enjoy the different themes for each effect. I could get into this.

Jackson Pollock a designer in the 50’s
I thought the layout of this piece was really appealing. The vertical names inside of the letters work really nicely. The grouping of the text into columns also has been used to its advantage. The layout almost seems to create a nice staircase/steps of hierarchy in a condensed pyramid form. The overlapping of the text and color are not too distracting either. I like it.

Interesting layout; good use of negative and positive space! You can never go wrong with the standard black, white, and red color palette. I really like the giant initials “P” and “R” displayed as design elements. They almost act as book ends to keep all of the contents grouped together in the center. Design well executed!

“Ribbon Type Specimen” designed by Dan Gneiding.
Very nice! I love the color palette. It’s always nice to work with contrasting, complimentary colors. They help each other pop off the page and grab attention. All of the different font weights are nicely being shown off here. I also thought the irony in using a ribbon/string to tie together the type specimen booklet of the font family called “Ribbon” was pretty successful. It works.
Modern Design Magazine ::: Kumi Yamashita, The Art of Shadows. (by Rolando S. Bouza)
I really like the page cuts in this layout design. I appreciate the idea of unordinary page shapes; you definitely don’t see that too often. The bright colors, fun shapes, and interesting layouts really make a nice overall piece of work. It’s almost child-friendly and modern at the same time. I like it.

The pattern, color, and layout placement of these balloons create a super pleasant, quirky, visually-appealing environment. I think it’s kind of fun. It’s no permanent masterpiece, but it’s entertaining. I wish there was more of a diverse collection of personable umbrellas to relate to more people, but it still works.
Layout for Title Magazine.
I really like the way these interesting portraits break up the paragraphs. It seems a bit messy and clean at the same time. It’s an Organized mess. I think the images make the text more interesting, and vice versa. I like the contrast between the busy pages and the clean, simple artist/title page.
A ‘painting’ made of screws.
I didn’t even realize that these were all screws at first. I love it. Can you imagine the scale size? All of the time it must have taken to paint each one of those screws according to color pattern? That’s awesome. It’s like the new mosaic.
I’d like to see a lot more of these types of images made with different objects. There’s plenty of different things you could use if you think about it. It’d be interesting to see what people would come up with, and the corresponding images they could link with. Experimental Mosaic.
My completed typography assignment!
We had to choose a type and create a specimen for it, I chose Garamond pro and finished it off with a hand stitched french fold. Tah Dah!
I’ve just moved house, unfortunately it got a little creased… eep.
I love this beautiful example of a type specimen booklet. I’m jealous of getting the opportunity to hand-make the entire booklet yourself. The type designs are quite lovely. I think the hand stitched french fold is awesome, and it wouldn’t be the same without it.
Once again, I think the simple color palette of black and white with one minor color accent looks great. The use of columns and text alignment are very nice. Great piece for a portfolio!
