finals (I hope) for Habitat Spring Breakfast

I think this is ready to give Carolyn: flyer and "logos" for her to insert in Publisher and Powerpoint files or whatever else. In addition to the logo I'm attaching, I'll give her the cup and vase images individually, and all "logos" as both PDF and PNG files.

Anything further before I turn it all over to her?

reworked daffodil Spring Breakfast

#2. Question: Does the photo end where you have feathered the top of the plant? I bet is does, and it seems to be a pretty awkward ending into that white space. Could you use a feathered oval shape rather than a rectangle? Maybe using a oval vignette would make more sense, so we would be seeing all of the photo possible in an oval… a less abrupt end that we see currently. 

I couldn't use a real oval, because it would cut off stuff I need to keep, but I cobbled together an odd-shaped feathered mask. Still looks like the plant has a buzz cut, only rounded instead of right-angled. What do you think, improvement or no?

I wonder if the word “SPRING” could actually sit on the bottom of his portrait, so we don’t see (another) cut off image on the page. Make the bottom of his silhouette make sense on the page… another place to use that would be lower right on the page, so the bleed takes care of the visual abrupt picture end. 

If the bottom of "Spring" lines up with the bottom of the portrait, the drop shadow under "RING"  sits in the white space and looks detached from the letters. The portrait can't go at the bottom, because the client will be printing in-house, so there is no bleed. I've been making myself crazy trying to avoid as much of the tacky white margin as I could and pretend that what's left of it is there on purpose.

Any other ideas?

Thanks, Coni.

Announcement - Printer Tour rescheduled

roughs for Spring Breakfast for Habitat for Humanity

Here are two roughs. Right now, I don't have any design ideas for a third.

Both of these would need the coffee cups and flowers illustrated.

They have a vertical version of the Habitat logo, which I don't yet have a copy of. For the design with the daffodil, I would get a copy of it, make it a little bigger, and move the green text box down a little.

The gold-trimmed coffee cup would need the design simplified a bit, and I would need to fix the fish-eye distortion.

This is the illustrated photo after peer review.

This is the type specimen fixed up after peer review.

monochrome logo

These are both monochrome versions of my logo.

I started thinking about 2-color versions, but realized I am in desperate need of review on spot colors and color separations. Got to get a grip on that first.

business cards and letterhead

Horizontal and vertical versions of a business card. I need to pick one and develop further. The horizontal one is two-sided.

Client logos

These are the finished client logos. BW and color. I want to send them to the client for accuracy of the  print verification.

Service Learning final

Promised Monday, so if anything important needs changing, please say right away. Thanks.

Service Learning roughs for Dueling Pianos

Two and a half design roughs to show Carolyn. I'm hoping to avoid the last one unless she hates the other two, so haven't put much work into it. But I'll show it to her for another possible font choice.

 

Menu project

I added all the peer reviewed adjustments, this one is hard to read as the lay out is on a template, and well it is complicated.

UPDATES:

My logo

This is the choice and a draft of my own logo we have narrowed down in class before. The map needs adjustments, and I'm not too sure about the font or (s).

Viral Glass Logo

This is the client logo for a local lamp working shop. They have already descided this is what they want. I fixed some of the type as per peer review and some other details we have discussed last class.

the end of the unsignaled turn: with and without glow

Also, looks like I got a bad sample of the center of the stripe, so fixed the text color to a better match.

"Time's Up" retitled to "end of the unsignaled turn"

"Time's Up" is all about photographic process. "The end of the unsignaled turn" is more about the narrative.

On further thought, I'm not so happy with the change in balance. Reduced cropping on the left and eliminated excess detail with burning-in instead.
