Wine

For my history of graphic design class we had to create a wine label that represents a style that we have learned. This is a wine that I made up with a label representing the Vienna Secession. Vienna Secession reflects Gustav Klimt's spirals and sense of symmetry. The font and colors also evoke Vienna Secession, although I modernized certain aspects such as the overall shape of the label. My professor announced during critique that it was one of his favorites, thanks to a senior designer who was quite helpful with the final piece.

Mumbo Jumbo

Mumbo Jumbo: (noun) Unintelligible or incomprehensible language; gibberish. Language or ritualistic activity intended to confuse. A complicated or obscure ritual. An object believed to have supernatural powers; a fetish.

The latest typography project. We were instructed to come up with a design that used only typography of a word and its definition to create something that evokes the feeling of that word. After struggling to find a word, i came up with this crazy way to make the word one continuous line. Since we can't use lines or any illustration other than text, I replaced the line with the definition of the word. So each outline is actually another string of text defining Mumbo Jumbo. And let me tell you, my eyes are mumbo jumbo after finishing this. This was a really fun project and it turned out much better than my intial thoughts of this project.

Pearl Jammin'

Pearl Jam Logo
Hand rendered
Ink on vellum

My design studio professor is very involved with the music industry. He just moved to Lancaster from LA, where he designed many different band albums, logos, posters, and t-shirts. He based our syllabus and projects off of one band, randomly chosen out of a hat. My lucky pick for the rest of the semester is Pearl Jam. This being the first project in the series, their logo.
At first I struggled to include the hard edge of Pearl Jam, while still staying within my style. My professor was glad to see my sketches of this logo. I really think I kept it classy with that rock edge that Pearl Jam portrays. And yes, it is all done by hand, I'm a perfectionist when it comes to these projects. There will more Pearl Jam merchandise throughout this semester.
Please comment. Constructive criticism is always appreciated!

This is my latest font design for my typography class. I thought this up last semester and hand rendered a few letters. This semester I have to design the complete alphabet on the computer. It gets kind of tricky making all the curves nice and smooth, and i'm still working out the kinks, but I really excited about it. My professor is excited as well. This is obviously only a few letters because I haven't finished yet, but let me know what you all think.
