Toned Down





Miles

I did this Miles Davis poster for Wahler's class, not sure how I feel about the lettering.
It looked better before I scanned it in when it was just line drawings.
I don;t have anymore time to work on it though.

Time Burglars

We all have them in our lives. People who steal our precious time away from us. There is no stopping the time burglars

4 hours with some time burglars + bad emulsion = no posters

Hopefully I can print these on Wednesday night.

A few for now....

I wrote some more in depth/detailed copy about my personal experiences for each of the photos.

I also left some spread with relatively no type i like the mix

Nemek Posters

Here are some variations for my type poster. I am going to print it at 24"x36".

I think i like the simple one that only says "MAKE THIS YOUR OWN" in the smaller scale.







I want to paint this on a wall with each letter being around 5'-6', not necessarily in these colors though.

Chocolate Finished

Here are the final version of the chocolate boxes, I did three color variations for different darks.
I wanted to change the swash in the logo but it was too late adam already printed them.

I dont know.







Not sure on this.

I really like the sans serif for the design on the front of the packaging.
But I like Bodoni for the the rest of the copy (side panels and ingredients on the bottom).
Not sure if its a good mix if the company name appears in two different typefaces.


I am favoring the Bodoni since it is an Italian company and Bodoni is considered the typeface of Italy, or so i've heard.

The more I look at it I think I like the first type option, with the combo of Interstate and Bodoni.

I do really like the Archer for the "percent cacao" its unexpected but personally I feel like it works.

And I fixed the sciprt for the "PC" logo to clear it up a bit.

I'm really struggling to get this right.

Also I have been working on my typefaces but dont want to put it all till its all finished...... soon

Please any comments/help !
