AAH Affordable Art for the Holidays

Here are the three fliers for the next WOW show.  The top two are small fliers and the one on the bottom will be a large poster.

Here is some work for one of my clients, Anna. They had their logo which consisted of the girl (needs to be above some solid shape), mountains, and the "Beatnik Mountain: For the adventurous in mind and spirit."  Anna said that they wanted letterhead, new business cards, a bumper sticker, and thank you cards.

I worked on the letterhead and business cards one day and will work on the other items once these are decided on.  These are not the finals; I am still waiting on feedback. 




Here is the original business card.  They were all the same.  The ladies at Beatnik Mountain wanted some variety.  I used the colors that already go with their various products to keep the look together.
Here are the new cards.  I simplified the mountains.  I also changed the typefaces to match the one in the logo instead of having four.  There are three versions and three colors.  I am not sure if this client will decide to do all the same color and design or choose to go with three colors and three designs.  I like the three colors and three designs.  The three colors could match the letterhead style that we end up going with.

Organizing the Data - Inprogress update

This project is beginning to fall into place.  The poster for Organizing the Data 2 will be used for the backdrop of Z4 Energies trade show pop-up booth.  It will be modified to fit.  I will continue to work with colors and possible layouts for the overall 7'x8' backdrop while keeping the overall idea and look.

I started by trying to create a chart or a graph.  I eventually just decided to ditch that idea and play around.  This poster is what was created.  The idea behind it was that I wanted to show the confusion of the technical terms and how complex it is but as the viewer looks there is good information.  The viewers eye will move down to the layman's terns and see the benefits of the complex technical terms.

Tattoo Catalog

I am creating a 25 page catalog for the Motorcycle show that is currently up.  It has all of the artwork and photographs from the show.  Each artist, or person photographed, has a full page; some have more than one. 




This catalog has been a good InDesign learning experience.  I am beginning to feel really comfortable with the program.

Websites

Here are links to the two websites that I am updating on a regular basis.  I am using Joomla to do the updates.  I have used several other WYSIWYG editors and Joomla seems like it is way over complicated at least for what we are doing on this site.  Everything that I have had to do so far, has been doable, but could have been done on a much simpler editor.
Most of this has been updating information but I redesigned the Artist's Corner site.  It was set up so that there was a list of names with links and then a collage of images with links.  I thought that it would be important to see all of the images with the names of the artist that had created the work.
