But it's overused and cheap and in this situation it just doesn't make sense.[/QUOTE] Understandable. I just whipped that up real quick. I wouldn't use such a drastic paper texture. I would make something myself that looked more like cheap paper.

Here's something I made a while ago: [img]http://th00.deviantart.net/fs71/PRE/f/2009/356/e/c/Gas_Mask_by_Amsay9.jpg[/img] I don't know if it's good or not.

His shoulder is just ow

[QUOTE=Ehanced_AI;29116903]His shoulder...[/QUOTE] Perhaps it is his neck that is "ow." [editline]8:09[/editline] There's no blood, so it is probably his shoulder.

Before I start finishing this, what do you think would make it better? [img]http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2011/101/9/8/98c2cf6537ef0f886a578a4e4da45b34-d3ds7di.jpg[/img]

[QUOTE=MindMuncher;29117683]Is it supposed to be... uh, the way it is?[/QUOTE] You mean the perspective? I didn't draw it with that in mind.

Codesta, the tip of the nose is way too high up and the chin placement is wonky. Also I would change the mouth to avoid that lip style.

[QUOTE=Amsay;29116820]Here's something I made a while ago: [img_thumb]http://th00.deviantart.net/fs71/PRE/f/2009/356/e/c/Gas_Mask_by_Amsay9.jpg[/img_thumb] I don't know if it's good or not.[/QUOTE] That is some messed up perspective. Half the drawing is at 90 degrees (head and backpack) and the other half is at 45, plus, that shoulder. Anyways, there's scribblertoo thread in the GD and I decided to try it out.

Personal logo concept I'm toying with: [IMG]http://i208.photobucket.com/albums/bb134/KorJax/logoCS4-01.png[/IMG] Variations against colored background: [IMG]http://i208.photobucket.com/albums/bb134/KorJax/logoCS4-05.png[/IMG] Personal logo design concept. Color wise going for something earthy and calm, yet hints at complexity. Motif wise going for something that displays a sense of introversion, but also a sense of adventure and experiencing something. Thinking that might be my "tagline" if I have one... "Experience Something." Too cheesy or cliche?

[img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/12913216/Art/Tradtional%20Drawings/Sketches/Hell%20Yeah.jpg[/img] Sketch I did of a good friend from back home for an assignment. Done in black n white graphite pencil. Photoshopped coloration a bit to change the tone of grey. This was more of a practice sketch so that when we meet up again during the summer I'm going to supposedly have a painting done of her.

The silver of the compass with the messiness of the outside doesn't work.

I painted this for a friend whose dog passed away. [IMG]http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2011/101/7/9/dog_by_theloneredsheep-d3dssjc.png[/IMG]

[QUOTE=onox37;29121821]The silver of the compass with the messiness of the outside doesn't work.[/QUOTE] How so? :)

It looks too artificial compared to the rest of the design and I think your font is too light weight for that heavy of a logo.

[QUOTE=KorJax;29121227]Personal logo concept I'm toying with: [img_thumb]http://i208.photobucket.com/albums/bb134/KorJax/logoCS4-01.png[/img_thumb] Too cheesy or cliche?[/QUOTE] Sorry, but it really isn't very good in the logo sense. Could be an illustration for a label or something, or a background image, but simplicity is paramount in branding and this is anything but simple. Balance, unity, simplicity, contrast, emphasis: principles of design that you should learn, and learn to love. The type combination could also use some work. Presumably the subtext within this image is : design. Therefore designer should definitely not be bolder/stronger font than your name. There are exceptions to this, as there always are, but with your image the bold text and its distant separation from your name throw off the balance of the image by putting the emphasis on "design". Another problem is how your logo is largely dealing with circular geometry. However, design is a sharp blockly font. This all draws attention to it. Whipped this up in some minutes, not great itself, but this is a bit closer to the kind of thing that people use as logos now. Your work is decent, but its a bit more common with what there was in the nineties. (Didn't use colours or themes you suggest, sorry, just took the compass and went with that.)

[QUOTE=kevlar jens;29115433]here are some snapshots from my film project it's called "a mouthful of pepper". this is from the ending scene were we find our heroine confronted by an intergalactic threat! thumbed due to its size [img_thumb]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13290261/theufotheciaandthefbi.png[/img_thumb][/QUOTE] That's me lol

[QUOTE=Detlef;29122447]That's me lol[/QUOTE] Indeed it is!

[QUOTE=Rusty100;29121675]yeah but it really does look better than yours[/QUOTE] Yes, I know, that's what I'm also saying. I would also like it better with some texture on it, but it would ruin it's point. You can't just make things look visually better if it ruins the message.

Guess who just got his first Tablet :buddy: can't use it until examinations are over :smith: but I still have a tablet :buddy:

[QUOTE=Rusty100;29124021]yeah but dgg you know you don't really have a message you're conveying, right? [editline]12th April 2011[/editline] we both know you're just trying to do stuff that looks nice[/QUOTE] No, I do have a message to convey. I actually think through my shit, not just make some pretty mess on a canvas. I don't work like you do. Making nice shiny things or re-making posters in a similar style to the original. You make cool shit to make cool shit. I don't.

it might help if you would explain what this point is

[QUOTE=Mr. Scorpio;29124055]it might help if you would explain what this point is[/QUOTE] I already have. Several times.

[QUOTE=Rusty100;29124064]well no i can actually make stuff look cool while still having a meaning bazing[/QUOTE] Well I didn't say you couldn't. But I have yet to see it. Also Scorpio: [QUOTE=dgg;29112855]It also ruins the point of the poster. The design is inspired by her work (which would be odd if it wasn't since it's a poster for her gallery).

Ze english [QUOTE=The Task]Do throughrough research and pick a graphical designer you admire. - Make it clear how you came to chose this designer og explain what makes him/her your choice. Max ½ A4 page. - Design a poster for a gallery for this designer. - Design a t-shirt to the fans of this designer. - How did you get to these solutions? Make your work process clear through sketches/words.[/quote] Basically that would mean I had done bad research if I broke off the style that goes through all her works.[/quote] [QUOTE=dgg;29116501]Still ruins the message and expectations the poster is supposed to give. Looks like I'm going to see a lot of old retro stuff. I like grunge, I love the effect. But it's overused and cheap and in this situation it just doesn't make sense.[/QUOTE] Basically the point of the poster is to show what one might expect to see in the gallery. The style is similar to her works, meaning you won't come into the gallery and see lots of gritty photo manipulations and sculptures of people. Simple as that.

well in my latest THE THING POSTER, the main graphic dude is cracked and split up this represents how the alien causes all the main characters to suspect each other, you know how 'it could be any one of us'. this splits up all the characters, shatters their friendship.
