` Thee Tattoo MOOD

In Living Colors Mood Board ... I have a mixture of amazing ideas in my head. I have never heard of a mood board until Paige clarified the meaning and I did more research on it. I love this idea!!

In Living Colors Tattoos

So, I've been searching all week for companies that I could possibly use for my re-branding project. I was on the fence of either using a tattoo shop or a bakery and I found myself drawing closer to the tattoo shop. I ran across my neighborhood tattoo shop called In Living Colors Tattoos off of Redan Road. Their store needed some much needed upgrading and I'm so glad they've allowed me to use them as my company.

` J'adore Photo Manipulations

I mean what else can I say? They look so well on this lovely glossy screen of the iMAC. You be the judge.

` My Self-Portrait Simplified

I find myself really liking negative space more and more. I created my self-portrait to symbolize my liking of negative space. I also used a cupcake form to show how much I adore baking and just fun little objects and forms.

` FOTO ( graphikzs ) ...

Photo graphics are a set of images that were captured by Nia that shows her personality through the different text seen on the images. I've been taking pictures of texts that interested me in the beginning of the semester. I found this project very interesting and I noticed that there's text everywhere I go. The way the designer visually designs and places their text on the products and packages definitely captures my attention. I've captured images of what I see around my everyday life; my job. And, I also find bottle designs very intriguing; they're always neatly wrapped around the bottles and clean enough to read the bottle and see the liquid in the bottle.

I've added the last four images because they're sets of text that seems to be written in a different language. It's as if it's speaking a certain language to a set of people, or even ALIENS!!! I really found the curves interesting in the text because I'm infatuated with Script font, so they instantly symbol Script font. Did you notice the "Foodyssey" image. That is my #1 favorite image. I didn't notice that it said that until I took a step back from the lobby and actually read the words. I was training my mind to decipher words and graphics to see which visuals work and which do not. 

PACKAGING PROJECT!!

Can we say, "Exciting?" I find this project very interesting! We could come up with our own package concept and find our own designs that were poorly designed. I designed to pick the store-brand version of tea. It's always so plain with just a couple of words on them. I decided that the generic brand should also be appealing like the competitive versions. More way to let my creative juices flow more and more. I also just ran across this website called, Behance.net. Very professional and well-designed.

These were some interesting sets of tea packages that really captured my eye!!

Gameboy Calendar =) [ je l'adore ]

he Gameboy Calendar has been one of my tedious projects that I found myself struggling with. But, what's a project without struggle? The ending product received alot of positive feedback, which gave me alot of confidence to continue on the Illustration path.

   We had to work on a two-week spread.
