Book Cover Final Draft



Was having so much trouble with the color.  It was coming out pea green and all the blue had a brown tint.   (Thank you Charles for your help in figuring out the problem).

Book Cover First Draft


I have my challenges.  First, these don't make a cohesive grouping, got to work on that.  Second, my technical skills are growing but may not grow fast enough for this project.
I do like the major figure walking on water as the central theme on the front cover.  I also like the concept of the Messiah's Handbook on the back cover with quotes and referenced items flowing from it. I'm trying not to be so "feminine" on this project - we'll see how that goes (so tempted to add swirls somewhere).

Interesting Calendar Designs


Liked the visual for this calendar - to see time compressed this way.

Bubble wrap - I would be tempted to pop more than just the current day.

Really makes you think about time running out.  Each day is shredded in 24 hours.


Took me a few minutes to get this one - I love it.

Very simple but I love the feel and the colors.

Fotografiks 2nd review




Liked the roadside sign and the "T", very "bright".
Interesting use of typography - would you let them fix your computer?

Wonderful mural in Griffin, GA.


Thought the typography was a good choice for a Golf and Country Club. (love the heron in the 'b').


Some people love typography - even on their cars.(rush hour traffic - that's why it's blurry).

Walked a labyrinth - I am fascinated by them and their history - that's why I chose the noun labyrinth for my 2nd project.

Tree of Life at the DeKalb Medical Wellness Center. Each leaf lists the name of a sponsor.


Another Barnes & Noble store - cool display.


I liked how the car window framed the Plaza Theater sign. (raining again).

The age of digital - thought this was interesting - dynamic typography.

One of my favorite movies - like the poster too.

Fotografiks 1st review


I was in Mexico when class first started but I took this picture of 2000 year old Mayan typography.

Love this display in Barnes and Noble - one of my favorite places.

You find typography everywhere, even in the recycling bin.

Looking for inspiration for logo typography - found it in a coat stand.

Still looking for inspiration - everywhere.

I know why we've become oblivious to advertizing.  We don't "see" it anymore.

Interesting sign out in the middle of nowhere.  It transports me to the tropics palm trees and all.

Typography in the dashboard.  No I wasn't speeding.

I love to read - typography everywhere. (My great, great grandmother made the afgan.)
