Project 4--Album Cover

Image
Hey guys. Here is Project 4: an album cover for a fictional hard rock band called "Gray Matter." This album contains a composite of brain scans and some splatter effects and filters for an artistic feel. The album's name is "Cerebellum." I had originally created this as a personal project having dealt with neurological problems. However, I thought it looked like a potentially cool cover for a heavy rock band, like the kind of bands I listen to. For peer review, I was told to make the band name and album name much bigger with a different font and put it in the center to give the album a better focal point. I chose to put the band name in the top corner so as to have balance between that corner and the bottom left corner having the parental advisory sticker there. The second picture is a mockup of what a vinyl album might look like. I also want to make a CD and digital mockup as well, (maybe make it look like somebody is playing the album on Spotify or App...

Service Learning Logo Draft

Image
This is my black and white draft I created for the Masters Swim Team. My clients wanted the MWM (Mount Wachusett Masters) in there and liked the idea to have a wave. I've sent color ideas to the client as well. The coach for the team hasn't really given critique yet. I've said in my emails though that I can certainly make changes as needed and said I could certainly use a font instead of the hand-created typeface here. I wasn't sure if I was supposed to put Service Learning work here. But feedback would be great on this.

Project 3: Update

Image
Here is the red panda project with updated text that isn't warped and fits the tone a bit better than the other one. I also took the idea to create mockups with it on some gear as if this was a campaign to help red pandas by having the person purchase items.

One novel....3 styles

Image
This was the second project that I created for Photoshop.  The assignment was to take one novel and create 3 different covers for it.  One in a traditional style, one in a minimalist style and one in an experimental style. This first one is what I feel represents a traditional cover for a novel. I had originally rendered it in  black and white, but it was suggested to me to try a sepia overlay to give it a more authentic vintage look and feel, as well as helping it fit with the other two designs as one cohesive piece. This is the minimalist cover.  Here I have created a silhouette of an elephant and have placed the title in a marquee shape, reminiscent of a circus sign. This is my experimental version of the novel.  The original had a glitter overlay and had a busier background.  I added a simpler background which I think draws the eye to the title and the woman.  I also used a different type face and used a clipping mask to make the title a...

Project 4 - Rework

I decided to recreate the second PSA to my domestic violence campaign. My first one expressed fear and the power of words. I wanted this one to communicate the severity of physical and mental abuse. I am working with the same color scheme to keep unity.

This was a logo I designed back in high school, and I want input on whether or not I should rework it or keep it as it is. I personally like it

Project 3 Rework

Original Version 2 This project, which had a couple of parts to it, was a personal favorite of mine from last semester. I felt that although the original version was okay, I felt like I could do a bit more to give an ominous feeling to the silhouette by adding a more prominent glow to the eyes and a drop shadow around the figure.

Branding Black and White Draft One

Image
My logo is an abstracted representation of a dragonfly against a moon backdrop.  I am trying to keep my design simple without too much line work.  I used a typeface for my name that incorporated the spiral that is used throughout, but left the "graphic design" as a simple sans serif typeface to balance that out.  Let me know what you think.

This is a logo I have started designing for my image- thoughts?
Image
So this is a poster design that I did for an environmental class in 2018 and I'm not quite sure how to start with revisions. The images in the design I drew myself, which I think adds some character to it so I kinda wanna keep those.. any ideas?
