Why am I posting these?

I've been more compulsive about journaling thatn sketching throughout my life, and inevitably some interesting layout and illustrative, collage, etc things have come out of there. Here's 2 fairly recent examoles (last year - current one). Since I don't particularly care to divulge my ill little mind to the universe, I have taken the liberty of smudging out most of the text.

Poster Project - Lysistrata

also from last semester, wanted to achieve the sense of comedy, the greek provenance of playwright, and the war themes as well. While working on it, had trouble with the concept of alignment and hierarchy of information. Once again, this is my final result.

If it looks odd, it's because I had to print these, then scan them in, since blogger will not download PDF files that I'm aware of (one reason it took me this long to put these up)

Old logo project last semester

ended up turning in the two above, though I at one point preferred the two at the bottom

this was the 2nd logo attempt. Still hunting down the 1st one I turned in...

the flaw of the first one - it didn't mean anything and the colours screamed McDonald's. THe second one has meaning, in that I've spent 1/2 my life in south america, and 1/2 my life here, and I feel I belong to both equally. Also better integration of letters to object, whereas in the previous logo, the letters were floating in space.

I like the antiqued look of the colors as well, reminds me of old textbook I enjoyed while very young

Final Box Project last semester

Last disliked logo

Although it's a very nice logo, the whole thing makes me think Carnaval in Rio or primordial cosmic soup, and not really a large corp. that sells soap, etc.

dreadful logos

here are three I dislike; plus the Valparaiso new logo is 4; another on its way as soon as it crosses my event horizon

been 'dormant' for a while

5 fave logos

This is pisco Capel. For me always was so evocative of that relax-in-the-sunset drinking piscolas listening to Silvio Rodriguez gheist that the liquor strives for, therefore effective. Even before I was old enough to 'partake', I'd look at the label and sigh.

Two New York Times logos, I put the one we know only due to the typography, how in our minds it sorta personifies 'newspaperishness'. We see it & think 'reliable news source" etc, and boasting the old-ness. Possibly only the NYT gets away with boasting typography not seriously seen since the 1920's to this very day.

Comparing to old NYT Logo... very strange!

Comparing that still to the El Mercurio logo (the main newspaper in Santiago, Chile) - a different way of achieving newspaperness. Stylized profile of Mercury, the winged messenger, plus a diff. typographic treatment - blocky courier.


Two city logos, the older one (BELOW)is the crazy colours, etc. What I like about this one is that the city itself, being on hillsides, basically LOOKS like this logo. Rustic typography, many colored homes, verticality, fun. It's all there. The new logo (round one ABOVE) apparently fills some sort of need for sleekness and seriousness which seems pretty lame.

analyzing logos to death

at the Earl a while back, w/ my friend Anneliese, remarked how fascinating the Bud logo was - how they chose to pinch the red band right after the word 'bud'

Alicia: "See what their nefarious little graphic is saying? 'budweiser's your bud! it'll always be there for you! buy it' such a small gesture, such grand meanings.."

Anneliese: "just have another beer..."

FIRST POST FOR CLASS - ignore all others

Dying to know, don't know who to ask...

who designed the GSu logo?

Not for any particular reason... don't object or applaud or anything - just curious

but why the red line under 'state'? why the weird flowery torch thing emerging from 'ver'?

will cease to exist

this piece, Mountain Stream Child Vodka Ugliness, will not exist for much longer

si

Nemesis now

Here it is :D :D :D

Perfectimundo

not related at all to but somehow inspired by 'Bee Season'

mmmmm....

Crazy Goat Man

pen & ink

Sol Arbol

before & after MPA (massive Photoshop Alteration)

probably still like the original better...
