Saving

GRAPHIC DESIGN WILL SAVE THE WORLD RIGHT AFTER ROCK AND ROLL DOES.-DAVID CARSON
NEVER FALL IN LOVE WITH AN IDEA. THEY’RE WHORES. IF THE ONE YOU’RE WITH ISN’T DOING THE JOB, THERE’S ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS ANOTHER.
-CHIP KIDD
From the complete set of thumbnails, these three sketches stood out the most. For the David Carson quote, I mainly focused on creating a vertical de-sign with “world” em-phasized in the center. However, for the Chipp Kidd quote, I experi-mented more with in-creasing amounts of negative space in my designs. In the end, I decided the thum-bail on the left was the most successful and developed it further over the course of the project.
MOST SUCCESSFUL THUMBNAILS
MY INSPIRATION
MY INSPIRATION
When creating this placard, I drew in-spiration from other vertical designs that utilize various typefac-es and other graph-ic elements such as horizontal lines. The design in the upper left corner helped in-spire the shapes in and around “graphic design” in my final de-sign.
REFINING PROCESS
FINAL PRODUCT
I grew significantly from my original de-
sign on this project. I usually avoid the use
of color in my designs, so it was not an as-pect that I originally
considered. However, by including color, I
was able to create a more interesting and
visually appealing piece.
