Stealin' the Show

Senior Show Postcard 

Concept

UPDATE!

I'm finalizing my concept for review on Friday. I ended up sticking with the crisp white background. After multiple attempts at painting the canvas, we discovered a little paint doesn't do justice but too much can look sloppy. So white it is. I'm not opposed to either although I spent a good bit of time on that painting. Nonetheless, here is my poster and the ending of my Senior Studio class!

I've started the Senior Show project to promote the end of the year celebration for PCAD. As you can see, the idea is to run through the list of things we have "accomplished" (metaphorically) and then use the popular idiom, now we're ready to steal the show. This concept is just the beginning idea that will be further explored. Considering this represents the entire school, I thought it would add a great quality to use a canvas texture in the background. I wanted to take that even further by beginning a hand-rendered painting of this text. Then I'll be able to scan in the canvas to use as the postcard and poster imagery. When I approached my teacher with the idea, he agreed that it would give it a great quality. He also suggested printing the canvas with the text to paint over. (Apparently he has a printer that can do this.) Its been a while since I've been able to paint for a project, so I'm very excited. I'll post the final once I finish. 

For now, its just about time for Thanksgiving break!

 

Connecting the Dots

Connect Session logo ideas for internship

During the summer, I was asked to create a logo for the connects sessions that Sheetz would hold for employees. Apparently the last logo was overly art directed and took 18+ months and nothing ever really came of it. When it came up again, they threw the job to me. I feel like these we're more of a brainstorming process but I doubt any of them would get used. My work seemed to be much too clean for their style. However, I do feel like I had a good exploration during the process of this. I thought I'd share a random thought from the summer, considering this past week in classes has been less productive project wise. (After a full week of projects being due, I seem to be at the beginning again in all my classes, not too interesting at this point.)
