Divine Dining

Food Magazine
Adobe InDesign

After coming up with a title for my food magazine (thanks mom), I decided go with a Japanese theme. This issue of Divine Dining is based on Japanese foods, especially sushi (my favorite!). My designs and layouts are based on the simplicity of Japanese design. I had way too much fun with this project and even added extra pages and everything. These are just a few, my cover and two spreads ( two pages, same topic, one cohesive design ). You already saw the wine advertisement that is included in this magazine. I do realize you can't read it but if you would like to see more let me know and i'll send you the full thing (there is true articles in there about sushi). Its pretty much awesome, if I do say so myself. Would you buy Divine Dining magazine?

(and i just realized how many parenthesis i've used in this little shpeil so i apologize.)

Jammin in Russia

Pearl Jam Poster
Mixed Media
Design Studio

After quite a few hours on this project I finally completed it. This was actually due last week and I got an A-, Yay! I also was in Ocean City that weekend and had a rough time finishing before monday morning's class. Nonetheless, I am pretty pleased with the final piece. Our project was to create a poster for our band (Pearl Jam) and have it reflect the country, pulled at random, that the band was playing in. I pulled Moscow, Russia. This is such an iconic recognition of styles for Russia so I knew it would work nicely. I used newprint as a base and tracing paper streaks over top (not very visible in the picture) along with the red shapes in tracing paper on top. The upper and lower white rays were then glued on. The three guitars came next. Each guitar neck transforms into the Russian church form. This also helped identify the city of the concert. The one guitar is larger with the smaller two placed behind it which also goes along with the Russian poster theme. The last white ray was placed over top with Pearl Jam written in a Russian font. The guitars were so difficult to color in without leaving streaks (also not very visible in the picture, thank goodness). And now that I've written a book about this i'll leave the comments up to you :)
