TIMBER!

So, my gradeschool art teacher lives at the end of my courtyard (ie. 2 houses down) and for the 10 years I've lived here, they've had a gorgeous tree in their front yard. Well, no longer. They chopped it down because it was rotting in the middle - it would have fallen on it's own eventually but I'm gonna miss it. :( The courtyard does look sunnier though...

Ugh...

So, this kinda sucks. I had to re-do my whole travel brochure because my (bleeping) PC decided it didn't want to transfer over to a PDF file in order for me to be 'done' with my project. UGH. I wanted to throw it at a wall, but I got everything fixed, even though I had to redo it. I'm happy with this one, because I just decided to do State Parks, Instead of 'Travel Chicago'. Narrowed it down. All the colors match better now, too.

Started on my travel brochure for my graphics class. i think it's started off pretty well. I love, love LOVE the blurred composition, and how bright the fountain looks.

Menu - Start

Type Formatting - Menu


Started on my menu project during class last night. I'm doing it after a local chinese restaurant near my house. They have amazing, gourmet Chinese food/cuisine. Myself and my family is really good friends with the Owner, Sunny, because we went there when the restaurant first opened since we heard so many good things about it. I heavily recommend them if you're looking for a good, Chinese meal, made by family oriented people.


I did a basic color scheme, of khaki brown, brown and a tan, along with green for contrast with black text. I did a modern type theme. I think the cover of the menu might have too much text? But I'm not really sure...hm. I only just did a simple layout to show what I really wanted it to look like. So the first 3-ish pages are laid out to show what it would look like, and I'll probably add some photos or something later on, once I know what my teacher thinks. :| The bottom one I did a burgundy color cause I didn't really know what I was going for. I do like the futura text, because it has a modern feel to it, which I kind've implemented into the top one.

Finally got...

I finally got ADOBE IN-DESIGN. Cs3, but still. :)
I love you, BIT-TORRENT.

Type Format Project

Typography Project


I basically did a homage to Bauhaus.
I did originally have 3 columns of type, but went down to 2, so that the text didn't make 'rivers'. My teacher told me to try 2 column designs - I really did like my three column one. Underneath, though, is the one with 2 columns, spruced up and fixed. :)
