specialty item: dvd package for reel

still have ALOT of cleaning up and editing to do. but this is the direction i am going in. i left my thumbdrive in my other bag so i had to do this all from scratch (logo / photos). anyways, i want to have the lightrig image placed in the middle of the flap and bleeding into both pages. the front flap will remain blank with the top corner cut off kind of like the way i did with my business cards. the corner will be revealing the green texture of the lightrig once i get this thing made.

feedback please???

other anonymous work.....

here are a couple of pictures from my most recent art project that i just knocked thursday. the other canvas ones are from an art show my friend got me in on at the end of february at the sun dial restaurant on top of the westin hotel. i was kinda worried the ternader might've messed them up but i got a call yesterday from some guy wanting to buy something saying he was just in there 5 days ago and everything was fine.

my poster assignment from last semester

i am trying to go back and make final adjustments to all my work from last semester for my portfolio. the version without the blue lines is the version that was turned in. but i kind of like the way it looks with the half frame out to the side. what do you think? feedback please..........

did some more work

im definately trying to keep a consitancy here. and being that in my logo, as well as all of the stationary i did, i stuck to using black/green/white i suppose i should stay that way here. as much as i want to show off the cool texture of the bricks inside the place as opposed to the smooth greenscreen surface; i just dont feel like that message is going to really communicate to someone looking for the type of service my company offers. im not real sure how to explain it, but its funny to me how simplistic design gives off such a technology feel to me. prime example of what i am talking about would be pretty much all of the Apple designs out there. and i could name off several other companies as well but i think that is one we can all relate to. anyways, i suppose its going off this logic that technology is super complex but is created to make our lives more simple type of thing. i guess thats what i get out of it all. anyways, any final comments before i print these things out????????

the first two remain consistent, the last one was a mistake that i felt worked to my advantage. i kind of like the white sillouette look i created from outlining all of the negative space around the object with the pen tool. but if i make it black than its too heavy. and if i make all the others white, well, it just wasn't working out for me. dammit i need to quit being so indecisive........

not sure where to go

okay, my questions are: 1.) does the brick texture annoy you because of it only being on the left side of the ad and nowhere else? i am trying to play with a combination of the two textures inside the facility. it is interesting how rough the original walls are inside the place compared to the greenscreen section of the studio. but does it make sense to use this in the ad? question 2.) should i use the faded out technique on the left edge of the greenscreen or should i stick to a straight line seperating it from the background? when the fade is there it makes the greenscreen look more like its own object. with the line it does a nice job seperating the textures and all, but it just seems like too crisp of a line. anyone got a preference? as for the last one, i dont know what the hell i was doing with that, just playing with the placement of everything. not sure why i posted it

still having alot of trouble coming up with ads. i have a couple of ideas. havent designed them yet. i think in the case of this ad, i'd like to try to have the power cable running downwards and work from that. as well as move the lighting rig (metal object at the top) down some and have more green space up top to place type in.

Avenue A - Razorfish

since i've been so bad about keeping up with the blogs i figured i'd try to throw something into the mix. these are pictures from a project i did with Razorfish. Being that Razorfish is a well established firm owned by microsoft i figured it would be somewhat relevant to graphic design. and thought i could share some of the images from when we were painting the place a couple of weeks ago. ALOT of work was done in this place. its crazy how it looked before we started and how it looked after everything was put into place. we are actually still not finished with our pieces due to alot of scheduling issues. we are planning on finishing up sometime next week.
