My Work

My first design for the Blog, an Intro for the work to come. More soon, so please stay tuned to my blog, mmm'kay?



Hey, this is a poster for class I made, I drew it all myself and did the rest in illustrator.

 
THIS!!!! 
A poster made in illustrator, I love Illustrator, comprised of the Fasces, and the Corno. Two Italian symbols, I'm Italian, btw. 

This is basically a drawing I done that I saw in a Hsu and Chan Comic book. I loved the way it was drawn and simply had to draw it. 






This is a redesign of the website logo for Gamesradar.com. I just did it out of sheer boredom one day, plus I absolutely HATE their current logo, it looks nothing like a radar. 






3D EFFECTS TO MAKE YOU SICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Seriously, I made this for no reason other than my annoyance with the rise of 3-d in virtually everything now.





Have you ever notices that four arrows going in one direction make a arrow going in the other direction? That blew my mind away, so I made this composition. 











These three works are basically (from top to bottom) Color Chart, Color Test, and 3D Color Chart. The professor hated them, especially the test, but i begged to differ. What do you think?










These three pieces are a composition of lines to make shapes of randomness. I like the square composition in the first picture. It looks like a tattoo. And yes, the one next to it is based on transformers. 







I don't know why in the name of God I made this. Maybe I was trying to teach you all that MCDONALD'S IS AN EVIL EMPIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Or, maybe its an allegory for the Pieta? I don't know. 




























This big guy is a brochure I did for a class with a hot teacher. She gave us a quote from this graphic designer Jan Tschischold and we had to agree or disagree with it and put it into our own context of how we see him after his quote (at the top of the page). I basically disagreed with him, and made him look like he's imposing his authority on you all, Dr. Manhattan style. I basically colored over him pink, to make him look human. But it looks like I'm insulting him even more, so I kept it in.










This is the finished copy, I printed out the piece three times and cropped it all by hand, which was very hard for me to do since cutting isn't one of my strengths. But it looked nice when finished. Its small, only 6*6 inches. Even though it looks to be about 15*18 inches.









This was the first draft of the front of the same brochure. I didn't like the giant T. It didn't look right, and if it was going to fold out longways, I decided on....






This, I liked it, the cover looked a lot like Jan Tschischold's design's. The last flap contains a
sans serif font, which he hated. It says, "is just another pompous ass idea shoved down your throat." In the middle is my logo, of my non-existant company.




This was a book I made in class, we had to use our own designed font. I made EvilSerifPorkchop. Originally called Matalium Rule, the S is the hardest of all the letters to make. I did this in Indesign, but I hated the background so I went with this....


Now this is better, its clear, sharper, and better. Its the cover of the book, as for the rest of the book...... 








Here it is:




This is just my initials, as a logo. 





These three are typographic compositions. Where you take a word and make it do the action of the word, the words I chose were Shatter, Echo, and Twirl. 





These four were how to place type on a graph, we had to just put the text in a organized graph. Except for the last one, it has no order, and yes, the big g was made to be a g because it was starting to look like a swastika.




More Initial Logos.


These two were done by Kerning the paragraph, simple and clean.


More Kerning....


More Kerning, and Spacing with the type. 

And again Kerning, because the professor is a Kernaholic.

We had to take a story that happened to us, and mess around with the letters and sentences. Its a story of the time I wanted to fly and wound up jumping off the stairs of my house and fell down all the hard steps.



Finally, for the book the last part was type anatomy, I hated this project, it made little sense, didn't bother explaining the project well, and I didn't know what an ascender or a bowl of the type was. I believe I have the first draft of the project, when I screwed up everything. 




Now for old stuff:


HAHA, well, this is a old pic I done with Photoshop, pretty silly of me to do this, but I ran out of ideas and done the first thing that came to my head. A Nightmare on Elm Street.
This is just a bunch of Oregano placed on a white board and written on with my finger. Looks angry right?

I had to do a logo for the 2012 London Olympics, so I did something with tea, since the British love their tea.
(Ahem) I love Salma Hayek.
A album cover, for an unknown band. I didn't choose a band name yet.
I am not a Obama supporter by the way, I'm a republican.





This was a tourism brochure for NYC, I had a hard time doing this I'll tell you. I decided to make a checklist of all the places to go to in Manhattan.



This was a poster of myself. Basically things I think of and things I like to do. I done this for a psychotic professor who scares me. 


This pic was just for fun, with censorship too, so the underage won't be traumatized.


MORE TO COME!!!!!!!
