The Invisible Dictionary

above are two iterations of posters based around the social practices associated with the dictionary. basically i went with a contrast of the physical [book] dictionary and the ubiquitous dictionary [the one in your mobile or web browser or google search bar].

The blue and yellow pair were what i used in the final critique and were completed a week after the two that are dripping with cooper. I am still very much in love with the bottom pair and was coerced into changing them [greatly] by a professor who doesn't like cooper. The real argument was that the final would need copy and "it would be hard to establish a hierarchy using a font like cooper..." because whereas something like futura has medium, black, condensed etc, cooper has black and italic.

holler.

rebus [?] , appropriate [?]

"ha ha"

get it?

more junk

Du Pont; 1955 (i think)

Kool; 1982

Mattel; 1982

Hawaii Visitors Bureau; 1955

These are all images I'm using for a current project. I gotta ad-bust 3 of them. In the meantime though, dig on these little gems.

another sick vector drawing. fun.
ts-80, one of the first pc's with an onboard dictionary.

yeehaw. burn on.

Fuck, it's cmyk...

[THE STRENGTH OF GODZILLA!]
[THE FINEST IN JAPANESE TECHNOLOGY!]

so, this is actually purple, but i'm too lazy to resave it as rgb. it's for a timeline i'm doing on The Dictionary.

The first handheld electronic dictionary was made in 1979 in Japan.

The first predictive text programs were being used as early as 1971, text messages didn't hit the public till 1995.

The second edition of the Oxford English Dictionary was fully digitized by 120 keyboarders, had 350,000,000 characters and needed 55 proof readers.


i did this instead of working on my timeline...

...off to jackpot.

so, this is my final concept map. small i know, you can def read all the details with a microscope though.

heart was always my least favorite power on Captain Planet.

experimentation for an imaging project that i'm stewing on extra hard.

rather grainy; could be low shutter speed or time for a newer camera.

Beginnings of Dictionary Concept Map

I wish it was bigger. 

Nice crit today, but this is soooooooooo in its infancy.

See you later.

Vinyl Boom

So.

These aren't that old, but they aren't fresh as hell.

Here are photos from Vinyl's open-mike launch dealy with my designs.

I hope somebody, somewhere actually cares... [I do!]

Tripp Gobble. Need I say more.

Poster//Sticker//T-shirt

Brain Game

So. My little brother is doing a quiz bowl thing on the local CBS channel.

It was denim dress shirts or this:

Yay.

I hope Louisburg can handle this.

Screen printing three t-shirts.

I wish I could use more than one layer and have some colors.

Fuck denim shirts.

Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah blah.....

One of four NCSU College of Design Studio Collective Posters featuring the famed Michael Pause.

Def in the style of Rodchenko. I wish I had better type.

Screen printing these this week.

Other posters feature Santiago, Lafitte, and Foote.
I will experiment with different colors, gradients (with the halftone photo anyhow), and I really want to print on metallic paper and/or with metallic paint.

...oh graphic design.

also, vinyl records work (below) is getting printed on t-shirts, stickers, and paper! neat!

Sick

After weekends like this, the rhythm of the real world is so hard to get back into.

Here's some more Vinyl Records stuff I "cooked up".

Un Chiste. Ja ja ja ja ja.

Possible t-shirt for Vinyl Records.

Posterish fuckabout. Yum Myriad...

work and play

carpal tunnel syndrome.

and.

ideas for vinyl records, the first student run record label

...at UNC.

this is hand drawn [on illustrator] record player, basic color palette and simple outlined sans serif font.

branding perhaps?







and then i played with some photo stuff...




same type.

same color.

no record, but plastic [vinyl?] keyboard

foot and floor and keyboard and home lighting drop hints of home grown and local roots

we'll see













two more things, blogger doesn't want to upload...
