Branding/Packaging Revisited

I went back to the packaging project because I never finished it. I bought 3 records for like a dollar each at a thrift store and was thinking of making a record company (like Sam Goody) as a brand.

So here's my swipe...






making the logo was challenging. i went through many revisions but i'm happy with the final.





I'm still waiting for my printer to come, but here is what I am envisioning for the packaging:

This is really cool and some are very funny. They really hit the sweet spot, not to mention some are designed quite well

This is for my school newspaper- it is a measure of the matriculation rates. it is a little cut off because it is a screen shot but whatever, it's an interesting read.

Designing Objectively

This is a good article on designing objectively. It's our job as designers to make sure no emotions enter the scene, lest the piece become a work of "art". This article explains why design only works one way, and how to learn to get there. Check it out.

by the way...

i remembered the inspiration - sutton hoo burial ground from the early 7th century. Here is a link to the british museum. http://www.britishmuseum.org/explore/highlights/highlight_objects/pe_mla/p/purse_lid_from_the_ship-burial.aspx

This is exhausting

We'll see if 3 come out of this!! Geometry is hard!

Did I say Tim OBrien? oops....

So I totally lied. I am not doing Tim O'Brien - although I may revisit that. I am doing David Foster Wallace.

For some reason, the typography took kind of an olde english turn - kind of like .

I learned in art history about some curvy, figurative design which came from the early first millenia but I can't remember its name..

but I am taking my inspiration from these kinds of designs - sort of like that "S" that everyone would draw on their notes in high school

3 books

i chose Tim O'Brien's novels-

In The Lake of the Woods



The Things They Carried



If I Die in a Combat Zone, Box me up and Ship me home





they are war memoirs from vietnam told on a fictional basis but with a very "true" sentiment. they are understandably disturbing, poignant, and very powerful but told in a simple manner that some might miss if they are not reading carefully. I am looking at this kind of swipe - big block imagery, faceless people, (almost like those pamphlets you get on airplanes regarding emergency exits) because they could be replaced for anyone else who lived through the war and its aftermath

great typography

hahaha
