make the clocks move

I made this clock tonight, its a park clock/part notebook with pages in the back of it, i know its not very practical, but thats not really the point. i'm pretty pleased with how it turned out.
and i finally got my This I Believe book back from lulu.com, the colors are alittle off and the printing isent to great, but its pretty cool to see it printed in hardcover, i also printed 2 nice jackets for the book the other day, as you can see.

6:43AM

Its 6:40 am right now as I write this, I just made a mock-up of my portfolio with my work that I have so far displayed in it, its not finished, but wanted to put up some pictures of it because I'm pretty proud of the craft and time i put into this book, its 100% made by hand by me, and has 2 fold outs in it. its 13''-14.5'', made mostly of thick chipboard and medium size chipboard with binding tape and some glue, then print outs of my work.

For my Design class one of our projects we're currently working on is a "leave behind piece", which I guess is something you would leave behind at a studio or a job interview after you go to one, or you would send it to the company shortly after your interview to remind them of you. or could just be something you use for an example of your work, which is basically what it is.
My whole idea is to base it off of cd packaging, which is what first inspired me to be a designer, it is 5''-5.5'', and folds out. this is not the final piece and does not have all of the art on it, the black squares will have more design work on them. one side of the foldout will have my more organic work on it, like drawings, sketches and more hand done pieces. and the other side will be more technical design stuff. that side is still to come. Oh and I put up a current picture of my studio. i just cleaned it up a bit.



V this cover is going to have the tree i used on my business card, possibly a bare tree with no leaves on the cover, and then when you un-velcro the cover it will be the tree with all the leaves filling it.

remember the way, second star to the right

Heres a design i made for my friend ryan's band "Sam the Boy", check out his stuff. I just made it for fun, nothing to serious. I kind of dont mind just making things/designs for people when there is no pressure to, thats why I like design in the first place. I mean someday i'll have to try and make money from it, but sometimes I dont really care.

I Believe In Growing Up

Here is the Cover for my this I believe book, "read below". and the layout for my page for my story. I guess you can read it if you want. and yes I want it to be annoying to read, "meaning the huge text".

new chucks

I've been designing a book for my Design class, its taken pretty much the whole semester, I'm waiting to get it back from the printers as we speak, its 100 full color pages and hard cover with a jacket sleeve. Its one of the first real books I'm getting professionally printed and I'm pretty excited to see it. Its called This I Believe and has stories from everyone in my design class, and its designed by me.
We had to design posters trying to sell our book. These are some of them, they will get printed at 4 feet by 3 feet and go throughout the school and library at my school, as well as the book getting displayed in the library.


This one V was the first one I designed, I decided to just go with it, because I dont actually think anyone is going to buy my book at the school, so I just figured I would write whatever I want and have fun with it.

business cards 2

New business cards I designed off of the one I made at david Wolfes studio. resume to, i'm still working on it.

bad cards

Card designs i did for a contest joe bornstein the lawyer had, it was to design two cards, one was a get well card and the other a happy birthday card. the wonner gets a laptop. so that is why i made these rediculous cutsy card designs. they were all done past 1:00am at some point. I kind of like them, there not anything like I would normally do.
