logo with text

New personal logo



This is a new logo that i started working on today. I didnt like the logo that i made last semester so this was just trying to come up with something completely different. I got the initial idea from tres. He was telling about creating a logo that defines me and shows something that i like. well I like superman. That is because he is a leader and i strive to be. There is no limit to his ability just as mine. I strive to be the best and push myself to do so. I spent all day working on this. I really like this logo and i mostly like it for its abstract nature. I had to combine both illustrator and photoshop. It was a lot of steps to get the texture and the metallic shine but i really like it

etc


a few more changes

Here are a few changes


i changed the slogan on the ad with the drums so that it could sort of become its own. and then for the first ad i played around with the placement of the type. For both of the ads i toned down the stripes outside of the white borders of the pictures and added the info on the bottom. im still thinking of a slogan for the drumming ad. I really like how they are starting to look.

Ad 2 version 2

i really am starting to like it. Im still playing around with the composition and stuff but i really like how its starting to shape out

ad 2


this one is the hardest one and i knew that it would be. hopefully i can get this one to a good point. no i will get it to look better

version 1.5

version 1.4

version 1.3

Ad 1.2


ok so this is me tryin to make it seem rock and rollish lol I am still playing with the concept and hopefully to get it to the point where i feel that it works

The First Ad Idea


this is the start of my first ad. Im still playing around with the concept. I am going to take a new pic of the guitar player. that is just for placement. Im going to play around with the type placement as well and hopefully create a strong composition. The idea just popped in my head during class one day and i really believe that i can make it work

the final self mailer

ok this is the final self mailer. after i printed it i realized that the measurements were a little to big so i need to start working on it to make it smaller. I really like the pictures. it made a major difference taking my own pics vs. using the ones that I was provided with

New editions to the stationary

  These are some new changes to the current stationary. I actually got the idea for the changes from working on the self mailer envelope. I really like the changes that were made. The design it self is simpler and still unified.
