::PB&E::

Taking a little break from school work.




Took a quick stab at logo/wallpaper design for my homeboi Ian's latest project, PB&E...

"PB & E is Ian McConnell's latest creative project, carefully crafted this year to bring to you a delicious mix of electronic music blending the styles of electro, house and disco - all with a bit of a dirty twist X )"

...I've got more ideas, but for that I need to grab my holga and get outside and start shooting.

::week vii::

Been a busy couple days... I finished my "discussion section" for Graphic Design History, and I butchered my midterm too. I'm content. The wonderful Luscious took me out for some ramen tonight, so that made me happy too.

Current poster progress:
My instructor was happy with the results, but bashed my font choice for the numbers on the poster (=I was secretly bashing myself as I did the poster too... Note to self: Don't use fonts that you obsessively downloaded from DAFONT.COM in highschool. They look cheap.) ...Interesting pointer; if you look carefully, some fonts are NOT designed in a balanced manner. For example, I was using "A Theme for Murder.std" on one of my posters, and apparently the lower case latters aren't designed to match the upper case letters; the thickness of the letters are slightly different. WHO WOULD HAVE KNOWN. ...Well I probably should have known.

My instructor's friend from Crambrook was visiting as well, and he gave me a quick crit of my work; he was impressed by my Beardsley-inspired poster, and told me I should refine it and throw it into my portfolio, just to show off the level of craft. Riah actually said I could probably use that poster for the final, but I've decided to stick to my butterflyxspider idea and develop/improve it, since the majority of my classmates preferred that poster over the other one, and it'll be a good challenge for me.

+... My teacher was all "OH I KNOW YOU'RE GREAT AT DRAWING OUT FONTS"... so here I am, trying to draw out a new set. ---> Using bits and pieces of a spider web (photo) and assembling them into letters. Good times.



Working working working.

update update:



not too shabby.
Now working on my copy!

::TYPE!::

Me and my group did this for the "Type in Space" assignment, and got torn up in pieces after our instructors saw it. Bagged.



I think it was pretty dope, though. Fuck.

Currently Working With::


::I Adore You::
They open the window
In comes in the light
I froze in the corner
I pray for the night

But if its you, my dear
Who turns on the light
I'll eat from your hands
As a bird with no fear, no, no

Cause I adore you
I adore you
Cause I adore you
I adore you

Rise up, my dark star
Face into the light
Come out if you're cornered
Shine for the night

If its you, my love
Who turns on the light
I'll eat from your hands
As a bird with no fear, no, no

Cause I adore you
I adore you
Cause I adore you
I adore you
Cause I adore you
I adore you

Climb out of the shadows
Crawl into the light
Fall out of this window
Die to the night

If its you, my love
Who turns on the light
I'll eat from your hands
As a bird with no fear, no, no

Cause I adore you
I adore you
Cause I adore you
I adore you
Cause I adore you
I adore you
I adore you
I adore you
I adore you
Cause I adore you
I adore you
Cause I adore you
I adore you
Cause I adore... you...

Most inspiring thing after a box of chocolates dipped in decadence.







make you a prayer a heavenly surrender
To the one somewhere out there
The one who can mend her
I pray for the one who can open my door
Let me go through it
Oh yes give me more
A prayer for the lover, the willing intender
To break down the door a heavenly surrender

I only make love to jesus
I only fuck god
I only make love to jesus
I only fuck god

I crave your violence, act it upon me
Set me free by your weighted autonomy
I am so human so small so debased
Jealously and darkness rule over this place
A prayer for the lover the willing intender
To break down the girl a heavenly surrender

I only make love to jesus
I only fuck god
I only make love to jesus
I only fuck god

I'm a lover of freedom but I cling to the dust
I'm blown by the wind I'm a slave I am lust
Please rub my face in the shit that I sleep in
Tie me and bind me up for your keeping
I make you a prayer a heavenly surrender
To the one somewhere out there
The one who can mend her

I only make love to jesus
I only fuck god
I only make love to jesus
I only fuck god
I only make love to jesus
I only fuck god
I only fuck god I only fuck god

::Visual Metaphors Update::

15 iliterations after revising the 21 images. My instructor wanted me to mainly expand on the "spider x butterfly" idea for Dorian Gray, so here they are. She also wanted me to try and go "extra gaudy"... Quite honestly a department I'm not quite used to working with XD;;
