Recipe Progress
















The squares are placeholders for pictures of the finished dish.
I'm still not sure about the blue dots; I want to keep the blue bars,
but I think the dots might be too much. I'll decide when I put in the final pictures.

Recipe Layout So Far

















I'm was thinking about maybe not showing the final product, but I always hate it when I find a recipe and it doesn't have a picture... so I don't know yet. All I know is that there are going to be fun, bright colors.

Recipe Inspirations

This is my inspiration for the cook book layout. It is a brazilian recipe, so I wanted the layout to have really bright colors and fun type.
The top two images are from Mopa, a design firm in Brasilia. The bottom two are from Fernando Volken Togni. He is from Porte Alegre and is only 26.

Self-portrait ideas

I really don't know what I want the image to be, but I know I want to try and illustrate it. Or make a stamp and paint in some details. Or mix a photo and illustration... I would like to try and do as little on the computer as possible with this, though. 
Or maybe I'll take all the worst facebook pictures and do something with those. ugh, I dunno.

NY Weather





So, a little cold, but not too bad. I just hope it doesn't rain.
(I'm starting to get really excited.)

A Sketch from the Summer




















I was really bored in my summer class, so I sketched a lot. Can you tell I am procrastinating? I am kind of stuck on what to do for the business card.

Some More Stationary













Here's some more. I think I am kinda set on the typeface. I just don't know if the lace is better or the pattern...

CS Stationary

There are just a couple of minor changes to the two versions. It's a first try.

For Fun: Random Thoughts of People Our Age

Bangitout.com - Random Thoughts of People Our Age

This is great if you need a laugh. I appreciated it.

For example:
5.     Have you ever been walking down the street and realized that you're going in the complete opposite direction of where you are supposed to be going? But instead of just turning a 180 and walking back in the direction from which you came, you have to first do something like check your watch or phone or make a grand arm gesture and mutter to yourself to ensure that no one in the surrounding area thinks you're crazy by randomly switching directions on the sidewalk.
7.     The letters T and G are very close to each other on a keyboard. This recently became all too apparent to me and consequently I will never be ending a work email with the phrase "Regards" again.
9.     There is a great need for sarcasm font.
25. While driving yesterday I saw a banana peel in the road and instinctively swerved to avoid it...thanks Mario Kart.

Here are my fixed logos. I might still mess with the logo mark a little more. At the bottom is a tentative color palette. I liked making this logo; it was fun.

Starlight Drive-In Poster

I made an illustration for the Drive Invasion poster. I haven't done a whole lot of illustration work so I thought I would try it out. I had a lot of fun drawing the car and messing with it in Illustrator. Hope you guys like it!

Love Nest: Typographic Ideas







These are really simple (and very similar) but I thought the simplicity would be nice. Even though the one with the heart is really obvious, I think it is my favorite. Any thoughts?
