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.

All I have been doing is working on my typeface.

It is pretty much all done I am just turning it into a working font.

It will be completely done tomorrow and I will post specimen sheets then.

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 !

Choco


I have to design a box of chocolate for Adam Wahler's class. We don't have crits on the design we just make the stuff, and I want to make this great. So any feedback before Tuesday night would help a lot. Disregard the color, thats just what I am working in for now , I'll figure out the color last. The red line running through it is where the box will be cut and the tab folds in. I was thinking about doing it as a series (dark, milk, white) keeping the design eh same but changing the copy and the color.
