sustain the world poster campaign


 In designing these two call to action posters, I considered the visual impact as well as the overall message in mind. As the colors and typography grab your attention the words themselves are intriguing and thought provoking. Choosing to play with a famous quote from President Kennedy was my tactic to gain attention and prove a simple yet powerful point. The campaign's second poster incorporates strong text as well, however choosing a question to provoke thought and interest was another way to attract interest in a simplified manner as well. 

As for more on the design aspect, strong typography goes a long way in poster design. It plays both roles being equally as beautiful and informative. Both posters also include a simple relating graphic incorporating subtle text of how you can personally achieve what the poster calls for; a sustainable world. My overall thought concept includes that anyone can help sustain the world's environment in simple ways and if we all contribute together change can occur.

TB Lightning striking a new look



Tampa Bay Lightning redesigns their logo boasting a more simple "old school" retro design. The switch to using a new signature blue as the only color stands out on the white background foregoing the other grey and dark blue was a smart move and I'm liking the turn out of the simplified design.

The "Tampa Bay" is more prominent yet the one problem i see is the "B" in the text stands out a little too much; something about it is a little too bold compared to the rest of the text. The new shape of the lightning bolt is more defined and the use of one color really pulls through here. At first I was not that impressed but after seeing it used on multiple mediums, especially on their jerseys, and the logo in other formats ( patch shown below) my initial apprehension changed.

film photography...back in action

Very excited to have broken out some boxes of 35mm film to start taking film photographs again...thinking of what subject to shoot, might just shoot a roll of random people, scenes, objects, perspectives. I might even brush up on my dark room skills when its done. Here is an older proofs sheet of some random shots.
