I want to start posting the work I do each week…perhaps it will put a fire under my butt to make it impressive.
Couple of projects in the till.
Emily Dryden Photography has a logo
I’m also developing a new system for Plant Markers. I don’t know how many of you are gardeners but the little plastic spikes that provide information on plants in the garden center are rarely informative or easy to use. They information design is unorganized and nonuniform. I’m not happy with the form of my spike yet but the visual language is starting to develop. I’ll post updates as I work on it.
The Spicery is also coming back into the picture…Which I’m estatic about. I spent some time tweaking the logo. as seen here. The logo is suppose to feel sort of like a quality control stamp. Like it’s not Spicery quality until the very end when the logo is stamped on the package.
Packaging and Website returning soon.
Lastly, a new project I started sort of on a whim and am now really excited about. In college i had and art exhibition called QuinkanPixel. The collection looked at my personal interprestation of the history of graphic design. Following and comparing the underlying intentions of aboriginal cave painters to bloggers, social networkers and visual storytellers of today. I’ve been toying with the idea of revisiting this collection now that I’ve had two solid, crazy years of school under my belt and see where it takes me.
The peice I started this week will have many outlets. I see it as the visual language of the show. I see the beginings of a really great interactive site, flash videos, posters, books..etc.
What you see here is in reality the size of a pencil eraser. I start with a central statement…still working on that and build upon it with motifs from around the world, quote and ideas that I believe have built the foundation of design as we know it today. Whats great about the project is that it is as unlinear as I need it to be. I can continue adding layers forever and continue adding layers of complexity as I grow and learn. The piece will initially be an illustration/motion peice…but I’d like to take it further. We’ll see.
