Ads reworked...again, with better colors i think

Print Ads Reworked

I finally have a decent grip on photoshop (about time), and was able to make my ads look the way they should. Hopefully you can see the color difference and resolution in the new version.

New Logo

Spent a LOT of time on this new logo, but i am very happy with it. Color scheme is not definte yet, except there will be blue in it (of course). I really like having white in it, but that might be a problem putting it on white paper.

Type Layouts

So i've been tinkering with the leading and kerning with these ads since Thursday, here are the ones i think are the best. Any feedback would be MUCH appreciated, was really having trouble settling on the best in terms of size relationships between each line of type. Going to build them with food tomorrow. Here are the versions i went through.

Logo Revisited....again

Here's the current version of my logo, on my business card. The type has been edited and the leafage on the top portion of the corn has been modified to look more symmetrical and aesthetically pleasing.

Print Ads

Here are some interesting and relevant print ads; except for the last one which is really funny.

BATMAN POSTER

Ran across this Batman poster done by Wes Wilson while doing work on a menu from typography. COOL

Weird Illustration

Here's my progress on an unfinished illustration i was was attempting to submit to the GSU Art Exhibition. It's sort of an amalgam of the two drawings i had begun during spring break, named "Lines of my Mind". Im really excited to finish and vectorize it, and plan on submitting it for Portfolio Review along with only one other illustrative piece. I dont think that will be too much illustration, but i have to include this one for a multitude of reasons. The vertical layout is definitely inspired by the uber-detailed illustrations of Aaron Horkey you might have seen on some other people's blogs' in the class.

Noma Bar

Noma Bar is an Israeli illustrator/graphic designer who i think is really, really impressive. People have dubbed him a "master of negative space", evidenced by his super clean vector work. He's done editorial work for The New York Times and The Guardian What i find most intriguing about his work though is his ability to communicate ideas in an intimidatingly simple, elegant, but also humorous manner. His use of iconography is too cool. I was looking through a friends copy of  The Economist and immediately recognized his work in an IBM ad (image included last). I also included the pieces of his from Computer Arts Magazine. So awesome.

Project 2: Stationary

Here's my stationery thus far. Still needs some work, but im pretty satisfied with it. Going to replace the translucent leafage on the letterhead and envelope with some version of the spikey grass on my business card to tie everything together (thanks Stan). I'll definitely add a cover and might make a second business card.

This is a clip from one of my favorite movies, American Psycho. So hilarious; so relevant. Watch and enjoy!
