A) What did I attempt to create and communicate?
Two of my t-shirt concpets were awareness logos ("Pray For Japan" & "The Whistler 100").
Japan because of the recent magnitude 9.0 (on the richter scale) earthquake [Link]
The backround for the Pray for Japan concept is the Rising Sun, Japan's national symbol.
The Whistler 100 because of the heart-breaking exicution-style slaughter of over 100 of Outdoor Adventures Whistler's sled dogs. [Link1] [Link2]
The paw print on the Whistler 100 concept is supposed to looks like a bloody pawprint in the snow.
Oh, and LOST just because it's my favourite show of all time, i wasn't really trying to communicate anything. As for the numbers, if you watched LOST you'd get it. haha
Edit (07/05/11)-- Added "Operation Anchorage" logos, which i used for my actual shirt (Pics of which i will post later). 'Operation Anchorage' is a fictional historical event from the game Fallout 3, in which you annex the Chinese Comunist Invades from Anchorage Alaska. [Link]
B) What difficulties did I encounter?
None really. Brainstorming ideas that could be silk screened i guess.
C) What did like about the project?
Getting to make awareness shirts. <3
Edit:: And spreading my love of Fallout 3. <3

Personal Critique::
A) What did i attempt to create and communicate?
I really didn't attempt to communicate anything, all these were just random things i liked. As for creation, well.... They're buttons, i can't say much other than that.
B) What difficulties did i encounter?
Sizing was the worst, and coming up with concepts. Also, trying to figure out how to make them post without a white backround... Obviously i was unsuccessful.
Also, the Enclave [Link] [Link2] [Link3] ( (C) Fallout 3; Bethesda) was a huge pain in the arse to do. >__<
C) What did i like about the project?
I liked the finished product, particularly the "The Academy Is..." buttons. It was fun experimenting with different edits too.
I'll post links to my refferences, and original photos as soon as i find them.
Properties::
Heartless & Sora both to "Kingdom Heart" -- Disney & Square Enix

"I Can't Believe It's Not Butter" is a copyrighted product belonging to Unilever (Parent Company).
Isaiah Mustafa works for "Old Spice" :D
The Rising Sun is Japan's National Flag.
Both The Academy Is... and AFI are bands.
Kawaii is Japanese for "Cute!" :3

PERSONAL CRITIQUE ::
A) What did i attempt to create and communicate?
I attempted to create a nifty looking soft drink label, and as for communication, i wanted to make a point (though in no way a negative point, simply a point) that Japan does many things "over the top" (Example; Heated toilet seats, or Square watermelons). Hence, my drink is very "over the top", it has mass amounts of sugar, caffeine, and calories.
B) What difficulties did i encounter?
Finding suitable pictures/graphics, coming up with creative names, and details. Photoshopping it was a pain too, the Nutritional Facts was the worst to do. Oh, and trying to cram everything onto the label, while making it look good, and finding fonts that suited a soft drink label, while still making it look unique.
C) What did i like about the projects?
It was fun, and i like the finished product. It was a nice oppertunity to do something creative.

Bean Board concept, i never got a chance to paint an actual Bean Board, but i figured I'd post my concept anyways.
This picture shows both my ideas; a cute food version, and a kawaii manga-style food version.
{PERSONAL CRITIQUE} ::
A) What did I attempt to create & communicate?:
I attempted to create a sort of cute-kawaii cafe theme. As for communication, i suppose it was supposed to convey a sort of happy-warm-and-fuzzy ambiance.
B) What difficulties did i encounter?:
I didn't get started right away, so i was at a bit of a rush when the deadline came, and i didn't get to make an actual board. :/
C) What did i like about the project? :
It was fun to draw, & it would have been fun to paint. I enjoyed coming up with the concept too.

| My Logo concept. :: Product Name:: 'Zombi-way' Slogan:: "When the Apocolypse comes, will you be ready?!" Because no one wants to be stuck in the middle of the Zombie Armageddon with no anti-zombie spray! So protect you delicious flesh, and buy 'Zombi-way' today! {Personal Critique} :: A) What did I attempt to create and communicate? : I tried to create a nifty logo for an anti-zombie spray. As for communication, I guess i was trying to communicate that zombies are dangerous, and you need this product to get rid of/save yourself from them. B) What difficulties did I encounter? : One major difficulty I encountered was drawing the actual picture on PAINT, my hand isn't the steadiest, especially when it comes to drawing with a mouse. C) What do I like about the project? : I really enjoyed coming up with the concept, because zombies are seriously amazing, and I like how the finished product turned out, for the most part anyways. Made on PAINT, and Paint.Net. |

Negative Space prject. I didn't like how my original one turned out, so i did something completely different. Drawn on plain lined paper, and colored with a black sharpy. |
{Personal Critique} ::
A) What did attempt to create & communicate? :
I attempted to create a guy with black hair, wearing a parka, using only negative space. I don't really think i was trying to communicate anything specific, i just thought it would look cool. . .
B) What difficulties did i encounter? :
Making the picture look right was a big pain, as well as coloring it in without going over any lines, or making it look blocky, or to round was also difficult. As well as making a concept that looked intresting.
C) What do I like about the project? :
I really liked how the end product turned out. And it was fun playing with a different sort of concept.
