the teabox I never redesigned...

Please forgive the size.  I wasn't able to find an exact duplicate of my teabox that was bigger than this one.  I never got redesign this, because one) I am slow with photoshop and two) I could not come up with any original ideas.

like a mesh

A black hole...I guess.  It appears to have mesh-like make-up.  In Illustrator, mesh is used to outline spherical, or funnel-like figures like this one.  Aside from that, it's just really cool!

posters and morals

We've probably all seen one of these, maybe at a Hallmark card store or something.  It's a mock-up of a popular poster franchise, and posters obviously make use of graphic design.  This one is obviously not going to be found at a place like that, or anywhere (except, maybe, Spencer's gift shop lol).  It is simply a spoof of the franchise, and it uses a highly recognizable character, at least for my generation.  So funny and so true is the message.  Hope a big monster attacks soon so he won't go to bed hungry! lol 

some simple yet effective art

This bumper sticker may look sweet and simple, but the message is positive and powerful.  A plain, yellow smiley face can make anyone's day.  And against a black background?  Who could resist that?  Not me!  (Have I mentioned that before?)

Project 3 - tea, anyone?


This is what my tea box design looks like so far.  There's barely anything there just because my imagination hasn't quite kicked in and I'm still quite Illustrator-challenged.  At least I can finally upload my Project 2 design, which I couldn't before (see last post).

About my Project 2 finished piece

Well, good news is I have the finished design idea for project 2.  Bad news is I can't upload it until school resumes.  The problem is I have to convert it to a Jpeg, something I can't do on my home computer.  So I will give a brief description - it is an arm extending from the bottom, going straight up, holding a Pepsi can.  The arm and hand are all black and the can is shown with the logo with the hand holding it from behind.  Behind the hand holding the can is an alternating red-and-blue three-layer circle with abstract, zigzig borders.  Each layer of red and blue is darker than the layer that is outside of it, meaning it gets darker as you go further in.  Finally, there are two captions - one that reads "Refresh Your World" and one that reads http://www.pepsi.com/.

I liked this picture, so I guess I'll use it instead...

Star Trek fans will appreciate it :)
