I just finished my latest project for my graphic design class. We had to search Savannah for horrible logos (wasn’t a difficult task) and re-design one of them. I chose to re-design a logo for a store called “Citi Trends.” It’s kind of an urban-”thug” everything XXXL kind of store. The original logo made it look like Citi Trends was the kind of place you’d go to buy a baby shower gift. I hope my newly designed logo would help give some clarity to the stores purpose- and maybe more of a hint to what they sold. Let me know what you think!

For my Graphic Design class, We have four projects total. Two before mid terms, and two after mid terms. Here are the first Two projects:

This is the first project we had. Students were asked to pick two opposite words and represent them with two side-by-side symbols. Can you guess the opposing words I chose?

This project is a study on type and illustration. Students were asked to choose any word and demonstrate that word using 80% typography and 20% illustration. Get it now?

This is a body of work I created to show the difference in behavior that comes along with change. I hope you find it humorous!

Hello blogging community.

I have been working for a while now trying to figure out how to make this blog thing happen. I’ve had my website name bought and ready to roll since this summer, but figuring out css and style sheets is a burden. talk about frustrating. I’m inspired by reading my friends blogs and seeing how they can share their lives with an outlet other than facebook. While I will share stories and things of that nature on this blog, I’ll also post my artwork and alert you all who read this of new songs and hopefully album releases?

I’m also working to get the actual website (not just the blog) up and rolling so I can share my work and all that good stuff. I appreciate you stopping by and reading, it means a lot. I hope I can keep you interested!
