2 more designs for Graphic Design 2 project

So Friday night, after a long day of classes, I decided to take advantage of the computer lab being open, (and the fact that I really don't have much of a social life right now) and stuck around making adjustments to my original idea for the homage piece.  But, in doing so, I decided to do a couple of more, and actually like these ones better.  So still have to decide which one to actually turn in, but with how the weather reports are going, I may not have class anyway. (Calling for "Blizzard Conditions.") Anyway, hope you enjoy...let ya know what I decide later.

I have more than just the one class this semester...

In addition to Graphic Design II, I have 3 other classes this semester.  So I'll be not only sharing the projects for that class, but all my other classes as well.  Our first project for Digital Illustration was due today, and I felt like sharing it with you. (Ok, so far, just one follower, hoping for more soon...wink, wink.)

Hope you'll take a look and let me know what you think.

Talk to ya later...

(this is the new edit...see...it's the Payton-pup.)

GD Homage Mocks...but pretty much done...

So, we reviewed the homage pieces today, and after a few hours of work, this is the mock up, but really, it's pretty much finished save for a few details here and there.

Sorry, been a little busy....

So, Wednesday night..homework for one class...done.  (Had to read a chapter for Ad Design.)  Made a little progress towards my Graphic 2 "Homage Piece".....and I'd post it here, if I had remembered to put in on my flash drive.  So maybe tomorrow.  Still a WIP, but coming along quite nicely.

In one of my other classes, 3D Design, we had to draw a Corvette model we made, to start drawing things in perspective.  Well, I've always wanted to learn how to draw cars, a friend of mine does really great colored pencil drawings, and the two combined has finally piqued my interest.  Purchased a book, "How to Draw Cars Like a Pro."  Gotta start somewhere, right.  So gonna sketch a bit before calling it a night.

Talk to ya later...

Well..it was a fun season overall.....

Back in August, I really wasn't all that optimistic about the upcoming NFL season.  The NFC Central looked really strong, and I, like a lot of other "experts" didn't hold out much hope for the Bears...myself, predicting a 10-6 record, just missing the playoffs.   Well...they made it to the NFC Championship, and as all of you know now...they lost. 

So to the boys in blue and orange, thank you for a fun season...just came up short today.

BEARS VS PACKERS...More excited than Xmas!!!

I have been a Chicago Bears fan for as long as I can remember.  Later on today, well it should just simply be called..."The Game."  Bears vs Packers.....Soldier Field....NFC Championship!!!!!  I am literally more excited about this, than I was for Xmas...and there was a HAM involved on Xmas!!!  (Oh, I LOVE HAM!!..Just sayin.)  Anyway, gonna try and get some zzzzzz's...Hope to have a fantastic update later on today.  LET'S GO BEARS!!!!!

Something else I found....

It's a blog for a Design class...and we're gonna touch on typography I'm sure, so just something kinda cool I found....

 Laters,

Did some more research, found something else to share...

So, I was just doing some more research for my project, and came across another site I wanted to share. 
http://quotesondesign.com/

Still not quite sure if I'm doing this right or not...but what the heck right?

So anyway, after class today, I got home, and did a little research for the Homage Project for class.  I picked Saul Bass, mostly cause I've seen his work before, just didn't realize he had actually done it.  And his style just kinda caught my eye a little more than some of the others.  Have a few thumbnails done, nothing really concrete, but I'm a little tired now...

Anyhow, in doing some of the research, I came across this website for something called the Design Museum, and just thought I'd share it with whoever reads this.  No followers yet....eh, I just started.  Here's the site, http://designmuseum.org/design

Why is Matty doing this?

Ok, so I don't really know if I had to do this entry on my blog yet or not...but I figure, why not?  So I'm taking this Graphic Design 2 class this semester, a step in the road I have to take, to reach my goals someday.  Yes, I have dreams of what I want to accomplish upon completion of this class and others in the Graphic Design program...but we aren't there yet.  Right now, I want to learn as much as I can from this class, get a little less scared of these computer programs I have to learn, and if I create some really cool..(ok, don't know the rules about language on here yet, but you know what I might have said here)..art and stuff...at least it'll be fun.  So stay tuned peeps...laters.
