Final Project Drafts
This is the original photo I began with. I took this photo when I went to the museum. Overall a pretty good picture as it looks very very real and I feel will give the reader a feeling of "oh wow this is a real life experience." First I started with the full color picture but as I progressed I felt as if the image was strong enough to work with out the color. I posted the photos with the grid and with out the grid so that you guys can see where how I was working. I was definitely working with a very very simple palette in my mind.
Trip To LA County Museum
Good thing about this museum is that is across the street from my home so I simply skated over to the museum and took a walk around. I had been there plenty of times so it wasn't anything new but they did have a couple new exhibits.
Brody's Work
Brody has a well put together portfolio, obviously, as a word famous designer. Below are some of my favorite works by him. He has a great style as he can go from a very very simple design to something very complex, which I appreciate because everything isn't the same ALL the time, except for a couple elements. I plan to appropriate his style in the simplest form. This will be the hardest challenge as I believe "simple is hard, complicated is easy." I will stick to only helvetica and do what I can with only one font.
Graphic Designer For Ad 1 Final
Yes yes I know. I choose the Wanker aka Neville Brody. The main reason I choose him is because after watching an interview on him he said something that really caught my attention. He said " as far as I'm concerned there is only the need for one type face, Helvetica. " This was interesting to me because I've always been a an of the font, although I'm not a master typographer and I can't mass alter the font, I believe that if you can find a way to work with one single font and do it effectively you have accomplished a very difficult task.
