Style Guide 2008/09 - Final

The final cover. Revised font, slightly offset text. It's nothing mind-blowing, but on the desk it looks like a piece of candy. Which is a nice illusion, because it is not a piece of candy. It's grammar, usage, style, spelling lists, acronyms, metric prefixes, gene and protein names, etc. etc. etc. The cover adds a bit of sugar to the DNA, if you will.

Style Guide 2008/09

A few drafts of the new style guide cover for work. The bottom one--the first attempt--had to be redone because our division's name changed and the new name didn't fit properly in the original design. I wanted a lot of color because the one I made last year was only black and white.



I like the vertical lines. But it's not exactly legible (minor detail...).



The colors on this last one look especially dull here, sorry for that. Note: left margin for spiral binding.

Logo Redesign Competition

Everyone in my design class was asked to redesign the logo of the 100 Year Association of New York. It was a voluntary competition, and the winning logo would be used on the organization's website. After the class ended, the project must have fizzled because the old logo remains. But it was an interesting exercise regardless; we got a chance to see a dozen different interpretations of the same material. It was only after we had all come up with new logo designs that we found out they wanted a golf-themed logo to use for their annual golf tournament. Below is what I whipped up (after the class had already finished) to accommodate the golf theme, followed by my original designs and then the real--and sadly still existent--100 Year Association logo.

'Miami Holiday' Poster

For my design class, we were asked to make an 11 x 17 poster using six or more photographs. It was an exercise in arranging multiple images to portray a single theme. I had recently gotten back from a quick hop to Miami and my photos from that trip were the most accessible. I was going for an explosion-of-champagne-bubbles-at-night kind of thing.

Logo + Brochure

The six panels of a small brochure for the make-believe bar for my design class.
