| I chose Alvin Lustig for my Great Minds project. He was a jewish american Designer that introduced many modern principles to american graphic design and had an immense impact on modern american graphic design. I really enjoyed researching Alvin Lustig and his works. |
 |
| Here is my mind map. I ended up doing a poster design on the idea of corporatacracy. Here's oxford dictionaries definition if your unfamiliar with the term: A society or system that is governed or controlled by corporations: in this age of corporatocracies, the money goes not to the inventor, but to the company.I named the the piece is 'Corportocrazy'. |
 |
| I started with a simple picture of the lincoln monument. |
 |
| I started off making the image more and more complex to explain the concept of corporatacracy. I realized the graphic was to busy a left little to conceptualize. |
 |
| I ended up on this final version that is more simplified. Its showing a businessman slipping money under the lincoln monument as a metaphor for big corporate money paying off the government. |
 |
| This is the font pallet I experimented with. I ended up using HaulinHouse Solid for my main logo. |
 |
| Original image used for threshold. |
 |
 |
| This is the translated image that I ended up using for the final logo. |
 |
| Heres another translation I did but ended up not using as the final logo. |
 |
| I Made these logos but was not as into them so I started over with another graphic translation below. |
 |
| I was more pleased with the outcome of this logo. I went for the double registered transparency look. It also has that 80's funky, fun feeling that I was going for with the brand. I also had some cool fonts to use courtesy of professor Sean Bacon. |
 |
| Here are my original shapes cut out. |
 |
| I used this cloud picture I had from my cell phone as a texture in the background. |
 |
| As I was playing with the shaped I kind of saw a bird man with a briefcase. Coincidentally the background is clouds. I made this little sequence into a video on premiere pro. I just added some music and adjusted the sequences to hit on the beats. I couldn't quite figure out the format of my images so it cuts off the edges a little. |
 |
| Here are a few of my logos with and without borders on tissue paper. |
 |
| These are my logo and border variations for Dirty Designs. A freelance design business of my own. I used Prestige Elite Std as a typeface. |
 |
 |
| Interesting to see how much the feeling of the logo changes when you change the type/logo in the center. The one above has a more masculine feeling. The type style doesn't really match the border style on the bottom but still interesting to see the borders with different options. |
 |
| here are some of my logo idea sketches. |
 |
Here I played with assorted borders. A few are slight variations of each other. All of them show simple ways to showcase the 'D' symbol in a border. Didn't get too crazy with color but I played with that a little as well. Heres a few more I did using different type logos that I made/modified. |
