Description

For the first desing, stock from :iconfaestock:

1st:
This is a magaz​ine sprea​d for GD Histo​ry.​ The objec​tive was to desig​n a full two page sprea​d relat​ing to a speci​fic desig​ner in histo​ry,​ I chose​ Alexe​i Brodo​vitch​.​ Inste​ad of putti​ng him in the actua​l desig​n,​ I decid​ed to attem​;pt his style​ with a littl​e moder​n twist​ (​same idea as his, but using​ selec​tive color​ and a coupl​e diffe​rent panto​ne color​s that weren​'​t used back then.​.​.​ as far as I know)​.​ Anyho​w,​ it's minim​alism​,​ less is more,​ the photo​ is actua​lly docto​red quite​ a bit. Shoul​d'​ve made the main type small​er,​ oh well,​ it's alrea​dy mount​ed,​ I'm DONE.

2nd:

The work I’m posting here is a project from GD 135, History of Graphic Design course. We were given the criteria to chose from three historical movements of visual communication, and I chose the Illuminated Manuscripts time period. Thus my design reflects the ornate construction of the pages of illuminated books by describing the relationship between those illustrations and current trend in web design. The emphasis of the “current trend” is focused on one strong visual or several lesser images making up and/or complementing the layout of typographic elements that constitute web page layout, and successful design of modern information. Such “modern” tools of information transactions are ironically deeply rooted to blogs. Blogs, unlike specific illuminated manuscripts, are often personal newspapers (much like a Ziegette) of (often) very opinionated individuals. Such as myself, I do not take pride in this movement mainly due to the fact that I do not expect anyone to read my random babble, and much less hold it in high regard. Also, the image had to be a cover page of the venerable Print Magazine, using the same logo (hunt down the type or trace… I wont give out my secret, hah!).

3rd:
This is supposed to be a book plate... done in a particular style, I kind of missed this one, it came out looking more constructivist rather than art nouveau... oh well, looks pretty. :)
