Getting it.

Article Spread.

I decided to go with standard 11x8.5. It'll prevent one potential nervous breakdown at the printers.

Currently waiting on the rest of the responses on a survey I sent out via Facebook in regards to graduation. I got some really good responses so far, in which I think I could make another entire spread out of one of the responses I got on advice for underclassmen.

Coming to a place in which I'm editing the content a little bit. I have articles that I've written and articles that I've gotten from other places just to make sure I have a TON of content to pick from. Some of it seems a little gimmicky, like I'm trying to be cool instead of actually being cool. I'm cutting out some of the "How-to-nonsense" because my original audience aim was for people who were leading the crowd not being told what to do. It's meant to be a lifestyle magazine, not a "here, let me hold your hand and mother you around Boston" magazine. Somehow that got a little lost in the shuffle when I took far too long on gathering content and not being discriminatory about the KIND of content. So far though I'm happy with what I've got. It's sleek, smart, honest and fun.

Started work on my process book today.

Hoping to get this finished by Thursday so I can drop it off at the printers and have a relaxing long weekend at home.

So I am really excited about getting this done! I ordered a huge thing of eyeshadows to put in my own palettes. The colors are perfect. Right now I am just putting together the final touches on the pamphlet and adding in the customized colors for each sign. I actually took a good picture of the colors i ordered online and am taking swatches from that to put on my pamphlet. After my colors come in and I put the tins of color in each palette its time to start printing......here is just a screen shot i took straight on my comp

This week..

just realized it's 10:30 Fri night and haven't posted yet this week. Sadly, it's 10:30 on a Friday night and I'm stuck in working... And will not likely see daylight for the next few days:/

Anyway my process has progressed these past couple weeks. I worked on the interactive coding of my Flash piece today and now just working on the different sections.. I like where it's going, but I'm just going to keep going till it's done since it still has a little ways to go.

Almost there

So I am almost done with my website, thank goodness too. I have some ads to put up and a shop page that's incomplete at the moment. I still have to finish up some t-shirts, about 6 more, and 1/5 there with my process book. Other than thattt.... good luck everybody! We're almost there!

Um, Colorful Progress and Stuff

As always, it's been forever since I posted.  Either way, I'm on my way to getting things done. My progress as of this second:
#1 - 60% done
#2 - started... 10% done
#3 - 40% done
#4 - 80% done
#5 - brainstorming
Process book - I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.

I realize that we're getting to crunch time, but I'm taking all of next week off from work so I can get this shit done. As I come to the end of the semester, my only regret with my thesis is that I just didn't have enough time to truly express what I wanted to in my posters. But as always, I get too overambitious with a serious time constraint.

Early Rock n Roll (poster 1)

I completely reworked this design. I was really happy with the punk poster's layout, so I'm reworking my designs for the other pieces so they fit more as a series. Each poster will have its own distinct color scheme though.

Blues/Psychedelic/Folk (poster #3)

This design will look totally different in a few days (as per revisions stated above), but I figured I'd post it anyway to show the colors and general ideas.

Punk (poster #4)

I literally did the general layout in about an hour, and though it's going to change a bit (I'm not sold on those flowery borders, I'm thinkin' lighting bolts) I think it's pretty solid. If anyone's got a better phrase for the back of Joe's jacket, let me know.

So yeah. Colors.
