Submissions Poster

This will be revised shortly to follow Alfred's grid, and later on with the proper san-serif font (since the version I have isn't windows-friendly). It's also really strong, because of the b&w and the very visible grid. I'm going to try to soften it or pull it back a little, either with a background or knocking out more cells (possibly replacing them with some of the photos Mary uploaded).

I don't have the logos yet, so I just put text as a placeholder. Impulse makes me think of lights, and pulsating colors, but I'm not sure this photo shows that, so feedback would be love. :)

Poster for Entries

As you can see we’ve been playing catch up for a better part of the shows schedule. With spring break coming and most people leaving the area we need to push now to have that buffer of dead time. Let's get back up on track.

Here's the posters. Same idea. You can really see the line vibration in these ones. Wasn't sure about the text placement (and if I got all necessary info on there). But there are two slight variations. Let me know what you think.

Hey guys, I was messing around with line patterns in class yesterday for postcards and posters (posters on next post), but came up with a nice visual that really shows rhythm. Thought it was interesting...maybe too much line usage, or maybe the idea could be pushed more? Feedback would be cool, or we could chat in class. I heard Pino saying the front of the postcard needed to have more to it than just the logo, so I actually did the posters first then applied it to the postcard. Just an idea.

some structures ideas on display, the digital media center and some signage to go with. Further explanation in class...

IN P U L S E Postcard

This is a postcard layout idea for the show. I used imagery of a jelly fish to represent the motion of "pulsating". I then layered the same image to create a blur effect.

I know we were specifically advised to not alter the colors on the gradient bar of the logo but on the front cover I knocked it out all together because it looked cleaner than using the color or b&w logo. I also masked the imagery in the back logo so the postcard would tie together. If this is a problem I can swap in the color logo.

West Office

I wasn't able to make it for this field trip, however, based on the West Office website it seems to me there are drastic differences between Mauk's firm and West Office's. The first thing I noticed are the clients West Office has worked for. There is a trend of permanence with the types of exhibits they work on, such as the Discovery Museum at the World Forestry Center and the Saudi Aramco Exhibit Center. Many of the exhibits also tend to have the element of interactivity, especially with children.

The virtual tour of the the office space shows ample workspace, a lovely wall library, lots of desks, plenty of natural light, and a mystery upstairs area (the virtual tour doesn't cover the upper level).

structures idea

Here is a quick rhino model inspired by Matt's A-frame idea. Fishing line with buttons on either end can slide back and forth using the slits on the top and bottom. A bigger cut-out on the top key could be used for those long florescent tube lights.

Mauk Design

Mauk Design!

The trip to Mauk Design was very inspiring for me. Seeing how professional and organized the company was incredible. I loved the most how it was a small group, and they were able to work on their own and in a quiet environment. I was inspired the most by their little workshop in the back. They had all the tools they needed in a tiny room, and it seemed very peaceful.
I was however dissapointed in the presentation. I was looking forward to seeing more of their deisgns and projects they did over the years. If they did indeed do about six projects every 6 months, then they should have showed us much more stuff. Oh wells. Maybe next time!

IN PULSE POST CARD

I thought going the Direct and Simple point would be most effective.

Feedback is greatly appreciated!

The trip to Mauk design was very interesting and informal. I know nothing about exhibit design so seeing their different projects for companies like McDonalds and playstation I found it to be very inspirational. I love the saying that Mitchell told the class that great designers can design anything for me that is something that us designers should look to in our designs. I also found that one of their smaller project was my favorite and that was the design for adobe. It was just a window fixture but for me I understood what they were going for and I thought it was really smart to use the colors from the color guide to me that represented Adobe.
