Some. Sketches.

To keep my project moving I decided to go ahead with some bag-icons. These are just a few of the group I worked on this weekend. For the show, my visuals will be teasers for the bags - hints at what they will be. An interesting thought was brought to my attention last week as well, what if I don't have a logo? What if my logo is a full sentence (...because the individual can help.) instead of a normal logo? 

At the beginning of this project, the "what ifs" were daunting and overwhelming, and now, not that far in, they are exciting! The time from now to our "process" show is not much but I feel that things are going to take off from here.

Then again, maybe I'm being overly optimistic, we'll see.

Crunch Time

After just realizing that our Senior Thesis Show is the Monday after Spring Break, I have officially begun to panic. What do graphic designers exhibit? To fill the walls and grab attention, I have decided to use vinyl cut-outs of my countless Logo designs in different colors or different shades of gray. I am also planning on using large-scale prints of fashion sketches of my bag designs. As for physical objects, I will have a pile of catalogs where orders may be made (available in the Fall of 2009) and some type of promotional item... a scarf, a tie, stickers, something...

I've never had the opportunity to work on an exhibit before and despite the stress, I am extremely excited! The group of designers that I am showing with is a diverse group, with unique ideas and I am honored to be a part of this show. 

Logo Mania

The need to move on is a beautiful thing! So far this semester, I have been working on an identity for BTICH BAGS and have ended up with 10 Illustrator files of black and white logos that in all honesty, are all over the map. I'm doing all of this identity work for a product that doesn't exist yet! Time to move on! - at least for a little while. So, for progress sake, on Tuesday, I put out a call for some fashion sketches of bags. I'm very excited to see what I get in my mailbox over the next few weeks! I'm also brushing up on my Illustrator skills, gradients and whatnot just in case I do the designs myself. Who knows what this project will bring. I will try to update this more and I look forward to feedback on the work I post.
