How-freaking-to

Made alot of progress today on finishing up my thesis work, much of it will be on the wall tomorrow. But in the mean time, I finished off the Tattoo aftercare how to today. I am really happy with how they came out and with keeping with my thesis on packaging I felt that they need their own containers as well, tada!

Thesis show!

So i got started today hanging my stuff for the thesis show, by that i mean shelves. I will be bringing my actual pieces most likely tomorrow. i'm pretty happy w/ the space and the shelves and how everything works, but...... I would really like more light. I'm a little dissapointed how dim it was, but i might be able to change that, we'll see!

How to

over hauled, although when printed, the text appears a bit bulky, so that will be reduced.

busy busy busy

Well sorry I haven't posted anything in awhile, but just been very busy. The school year is coming to a close and soon the thesis show will be going up. But more recently I've once again changed my tattoo how to. After critique it was mentioned that the how to appeared to be too generic, I've also changed the format so now its a french fold booklet, so here's where its at so far, layout. I'll be including the vector illustrations from the other one as well and the directions will be about the same. With this new format there might be some more wording.

Thesis paper

So worked a little on my thesis paper today, got told its "too long."
excuse me, what? although i am perfectly ok with this, i'd rather have a paper i have to trim back than a paper thats still too short, especially now.

Thesis

So.... today my thesis work so far was critiqued, went pretty well, but we were discussing titles for our thesis books, these thesis books are basically the semester long process book following the work we made for thesis.
Well as a graphic designer we are supposed to be clever and witty. So we discussed how it's just stupid to title your book, "thesis."
So now I'm considering a few different titles for my book:
1. "Spring 2011: my descent into madness"
or
2. "My Fall from Sanity"

any thoughts? (and yes it's supposed to be a joke)

How to

So this piece is something that crosses from info design and is applicable to my independant projects. The idea was to create a how to, in my case it was the perfect opportunity to work and make a really good and detailed how to. This is really after only about 1 days worth of work and the image of the tattoo is merely a place holder. So yes I'm aware of the issues in the piece, but I am also trying to run this blog kind of as a documentation of process.
