Bakery Logo

Pretty much sums it up. I love the tops of muffins and at one point was considering opening a bakery where I just sold the tops. I even got a muffin top pan from my brother and everything. No I didn't get the idea from Seinfeld...I had it first! So in this case, it's almost a pseudo-abstract muffin.

Masthead/Cover System

Advanced Layout. Still bar none my favorite class.

Anyway, came up with a magazine, I did mine on film photography and named it 35mm. Had to do a full 12 months of circulation based on a system, so I put the photographs inside the 5, creating a more dynamic look rather than just placing the photograph in the background.

This piece actually got featured in a show. I didn't win, someone else did, and honestly I don't think they deserved it, it looks like shit lol.

Rally Poster

This one I did back at GA State, but it still turned out well so I'm keeping it. Original photography and everything. Feet. Yummy.

For Portfolio Preview I'm probably going to do an invitation printed on the toe tags. Simple but direct.

By the way, the poor quality isn't my fault. Converted all the pdfs to jpegs and this is what I get. Great.

Some portfolio work: Avant Garde Magazine

This is a cover and two two-page spreads for a fictional avant garde magazine entitled: Uber Trash. The concept behind the magazine is dumpster diving and glorifying it rather than being disgusted by it. There's actually groups of people in NYC and other cities around the work that gather and go dumpster diving or food at night only to have a huge potluck dinner at the end of their journey.

I didn't take the time to put borders on the white spreads. Oh well.

Get familiar.

Okay, seriously, if you don't know about Johnny Cupcakes, then you need to get familiar quick! This is one of the most unique and fastest-growing brands out there. Johnny has got it down to the finest detail. Not only is the product unique, but it comes shipped like a present in special tissue paper with little Johnny Cupcakes buttons, newsletters, and mints included. Even the shipping box is unique. Johnny is obviously not salvaging quality to get quantity. I love all this stuff and I want it all!

By the way, the shirt pictured, a favorite. Too bad it's sold out for now :(

Get inspired.

Love photographic manipulation. This is a brilliant example by Iain Crawford. Although, Crawford's use of manipulation is through the camera, not computer. I kind of want to do something like this for my senior project, but utilizing more light-based or vector illustrations to make the photography pop. I'll post that once it's done...for now it's a secret!!

Amazing. I WANT!

Hafsteinn Juliusson came up with the concept of growing jewelry. Pretty much like a Chia Pet you can walk around with. I love it. It has the unusual flare that I'm constantly looking for. Though it is a bit pricey and requires maintenance, it is definitely one of those stand out pieces.
