wedding programs. round1.

This is a work-in-progress wedding program for my sister's friend who is getting married this summer. I was going for a more modern look that is still feminine yet not too overly feminine. I wanted the decorative lines to be delicate to contrast from the type that is more modern and masculine. The picture is just filler for now. I am using Archer & Bodoni Poster Italic(for now) for the two fonts. All of the loops are a first round test, I am open to altering them, adding to them, and taking away from them. I will be working with Bethany to make some hand-rendered type for their names at the top possibly. Opinions? I'd love feedback from you guys!

i've always loved nilla wafers. and i found this box chillin in my pantry at home and it made me quite happy. the box itself says simple goodness and they actually seemed to follow that motto. This box isn't any sort of ground-breaking design, but it is better than much of what is out there. it is clean and sans any bevels, highlights, or shadows.

image. book covers. final crit.

For this project we were to create a set of four books that fit in with out viscom icon set. My icon set is about a swim meet. So, for my four books I picked four biographies on famous swimmers. Those four swimmers are Michael Phelps, Ian Thorpe, Mark Spitz, & Dawn Fraiser. All four of them have has outstanding runs within the world-wide swimming community and the out into the olympic community.

When i came to the title of the books I wanted to have some sort of naming system to them so they all ended up being cohesive at least through the title. I ended up creating a three-banner system at the top. The biggest banner for the title of the book, the middle banner for the amount of medals that athlete had won, and the third and smallest banner for the flag of the country. For the back writing I also used a banner to put the about information into.

The images of the people on the front cover aren't supposed to be that specific athlete but are suppose to symbolize them and also show their signature swimming style. The blue objects on top of the background are supposed to symbolize a major or underlying theme to either them as a person or to the biography itself.

Things that I feel could have been dealt with better/differently. The overall colors, all four books are the same color, should I have varied them up? Should I have varied up the placement of the banners on the covers as well? front & back? Could I have picked out better symbolic objects?

This is working with representing quantities through sizes of circles. one try that I had for one of my info graphs worked with this same sort of technique.

this is just pretty. a guy mapped out his day through an info graph, The order in which he did everything color coded by task. The man likes his pool.
