grid posters!

for my next poster i decided to do mason jennings. the layout for this one involves the grid system, which seems like it may be a little complicated. these posters i chose (for inspiration and because they attracted my eye) don't necessarily have great grid systems but i want to use their hand drawn/analogue style. they are awesome.

i need help!

I used watercolor and scanned in a few images to my computer then combined and worked with them in photoshop. What I didn't realize was that the paper size in photoshop was Letter size so when I placed my final image into InDesign, the image was too small. When i scaled it to the 11 x 17 size, my image became completely blurry. I spent so much time on it, i don't know what to do! Any suggestions?

i n s p i r a t i o n.




next poster = slightly stoopid. in the process of being made but here is some GREAT inspiration. these are the winning posters for the triple crown of surfing competition. i love all of them..however, these are just a few.

Drop Cap woo woo!



i've transformed by letter into 3D....although i changed my letter (from K to L) i kept the same lace theme. for this project i used bubble blower sticks in the shape of hearts, glued them together, and wrapped red thread around the entire piece. after that, i twirled lace around the letter. i was trying to go for a lovey kind of theme....was it a success? i think so...

Surfing-my sister

Surfing-my sister
I love this picture because it reminds me of this past summer surfing with my sister. We took a bunch of creative pictures one day on the beach and i ended up liking this one alot. I love how the picture is in sepia tone, it is probably my favorite coloring for pictures.
