GD300Fall2013: September 2013

Monday, September 30, 2013

There was issues with the camera, so I don't currently have have roughs of the other two. This is the rough of the Geometric style, It's very minimalistic because I'm using this one to showcase the small things that go wrong at my work, one being caused by eye fatigue. This is where you think you see the same color you have been seeing all day but it is a different color entirely but it takes a while for you to notice. The other being that at my work in tiny fine print is the codes for what countries the posters are for and what version the poster is. Sometimes someone won't be paying attention and Canada posters (which have a different price printed on them) get mixed in with the American kits.

Project 1: Concepts

Screenshots of Concepting process for Job Posters from Surface

Deconstructive Poster will be focused on Color Fatigue using the color pink and overlaying shades to create stress on the eye and hide/reveal text.

Geometric Poster will be based on the inks, and printing environment at work. With the text "get inked" the type of ink we use is actually the same type of ink used for tattoos.

Integrative Poster will be based on the difference between what I want as a job and the back end of that job that I currently work at doing. It will look like a mirror but each side representing each side of the graphic industry.

P.Brown Headline Ideas and Images

I decided on making my headline a horrible pun, so I went with "League Bowlers are the Third Streich". Some of the images I want to make use of are the bowling pin, bowling ball, spoiled meat, spilled pitchers, and cigarette butts.

Bagel Job Headlines

I'm still tossing around a few, but here they are;

College: The Bagel Years

Calm down sir, it's only a bagel.

"What's a bialy?"

"Hangover Guide: Bagels at CBA"

I haven't been able to get the pictures yet, I need to go into work today or tomorrow.

Job examples Nader

Geometric I was thinking of having the Arabic word peace and Hebrew word peace in a geometric design.

Deconstructive design basically have the word "peace to you" repeatedly as being the same phrase that I repeat over and over. Then have on the left side "shalom to you" being a random person who comes and says something different.

Integrative design is illustrating a large pepper spray bottle and having it spray out people. Also having the people say words like "what happen", "I can't breath". Because of an incident that cops had to come and pepper sprayed the guy and had the whole room smelling like pepper spray.
