activities guide done.

It's offical ya'll, the ASI Winter activites and Events guide is done! it went off to the printers today (Jano) should get the proof back thursday and then we should see them in hand sometime next week. can't wait and soo glad its finally finished. its a bound up guide with a tri-fold and roll fold.

im living life at a fast pace... aka designing at a fast pace.
there has been a lot to do lately.... and the state of mind of going graphic surely has been reached a few times. there have been tears, there was design overload, but stuff is getting done.

here is a sneak peak of how this poster is going along for the ASI Events and Activities Guide. It goes to print a week from today and there is still work to be done, along with some package design!

package update.

so today is wednesday... the day my big crit is for my package class. i will have better pictures soon and close ups of how the packaging functions. it was a lot of sewing pretty much the challenge of my life.

activities guide.

soo blogger continues to mess up the picture color. but just click on it and it should be fine ill try and fix this soon.

relearning to sew.

i have an interesting idea of making packaging out of used fabrics. right now i am experimenting with a bag idea, but i am going to work on creating boxes tomorrow. there would also be a tag or some kind of a wrap that would have the product name, etc. still working on those details. check back later for the development of this project.

weekend work.

the life of a designer never stops, not even on the weekend. these are just some fun sketches i drew yesterday. pretty much just doodles i am very into patterns right now so just experimenting with shapes and such. then there are also a few little logos that i did really really quickly for a friend as pro-bono. they are simple but i didn't have too much time to design or time to do it around all my other work.

fresh.

so this evening i had specific work to do for class, asi, the gallery, etc. and while doing it all... i think i came up with some cool little things. you'll see illustration is starting to show up alot in my work now.

the first is a concept for my new package project. basically we can choose to package anything we want as long as it has three different types of packaging. so, my idea fits me pretty well if you know, i am using my funky vintage, eclectic jewlery to create a made up jewlery collection called, "i found it yesterday." thanks mom. so the idea is to packag the jewlery pieces (earings, necklaces, broaches) in reusable fabric pouches or very cool, very custom boxes coverd in vintage fabric with a latch to keep the box closed. the weird fabric swatches i found will be posted later.



next...
the collage with the blue background is an image i created for a potential poster for the "asi events and activities guide." its something different, but be just a little to out of the box though... will see. then the draws below are for another potential idea for the same project. sorta two different looks.





i smugged out photos i had put in, my digital file had issues so i only have the hard copy now. sad. anyways so yeah new stuff w/ more to come soon as well hopefully a good more chunk by saturday.
