Forgot [About] These

We did a stamp design for the 2012 Olympics...


This was the idea I ended up going with. I wanted to represent a more...random...sport. So I chose Equestrian Jumping (mostly because I love the word equestrian. I think it's quite beautiful!). I decided to take a more...artsy approach, so it's all texturized (with scan from my papers of of course! I think I'd be lost without all my papers. They're a fairly large part of my designs these days) and I'm pretty happy with it, considering I'm not very jazzed about the Olympics.



This one didn't make the cut, but I still like it. London's got the next Olympics, and for some reason their logo is this horrid neon pink thing that's really hard to read...so I wanted to play off that with some bright colors for my horses. I may still fool around with my little silhouette (someday) to see if I can't make an Escher-esque design with it.


That's all for now. I'm finishing up the semester so there's only three projects left! (Then hopefully I can start putting some personal projects and writing in here!) For Publication Design it's a brochure for the deCordova museum. For Illustration it's a magazine spread on the Nakota Horses (this time I actually have to draw horses...ugh). And for Advanced I'm redesigning Yamato Japan's logo, business card, and takeout menu (we chose our own project this time, and I'd actually been meaning to redesign their stuff just for fun and practice...so for once I actually am working on a personal project!)
