Marco's Supperclub Website

I made a restaurant website using Flash as a final project for our Flash class. I've come a long way, but I finished it finally. The logo is also designed by me. I chose "Marco's Supperclub" as my client for our "Corporate Identity" class. There's more pictures to come!

Candylicous!!

Here it is!!! My original font called "Candylicious" (final project) for my experimental typography class. We'll be having a show at the art gallery located inside of the main school building, and it's going to be a lot of fun.

This is the description that goes with Candylicious.

" My font is made out of candy sticks. I always thought
colorful candies would be fun to create something with,
and one day I stumbled upon a way to reshape candy
canes on the internet. So I decided to experiment to
see if I can make letters using candy sticks!
I placed the candy cane pieces onto a tray lined
with a wax paper and put the tray into a 220 degree
oven for 5 to 6 minutes. Then I shaped them right out
of the oven. They are movable for a minute or two (you
can put them back into the oven if you need to reshape
them again), and I used scissors to snip them to get the
right length. The challenge I faced was if you put the
candy in the oven too briefly, it breaks when you bend
it, and if it’s too long, it starts melting. Finding the right
timing to take out the candy from the oven was very
tricky. And although they are not burning hot to touch
when they come out of the oven, it did burn my finger
after working on this project for hours.
Candylicious is based on the typeface called
Roller RR. My favorite letters are m, w, and y because
the shapes are very fun. Some of the letters are fragile,
but Candylicious is a sweet/fun typeface to share with
people especially during holiday seasons.

Media: 8” candy sticks, wax paper, scissors

I made two 4"x4" acordion books for display and am going to bring some of the actual letters that I made for the show!

"things people leave behond on trains"

For the final little assignment for my experimental typography class, we had to create an interesting 'map' using hand-drawn type. I found this very interesting list of things that people leave on trains and decided to make a map using the information I got. (The information was taken from Hamilton Advertiser in UK.)


Many of my classmates made very interesting maps as well, like Andrew's... :)


This was a really fun assignment. I'd love to make another one when I have time, maybe a map of "what kind of shoes do people wear in different areas of the city?" or something!

wordmark

I had to create a "wordmark" for our counselor Dale - this was a small assignment that we had to do for one of our classes. Since he is a counselor, I used speech bubbles!



And these are some random cute things that I found the other day on the internet.

x-type poster

This poster is for the show called x-type culture, which is going to display our final project "x-type" for our experimental typography class.

let's sing a song in type

For this week's assignment for out typography class, we had to illustrate song lyrics or poems using type. We were allowed to use photographs or create shapes/images using type, but no illustrations. I never had a chance to work with photographs in this type class, so really wanted incorporate my ideas for type with photos. Here are the ones I made.

"All you need is love" - by The Beatles

"Moon River" - by Andy Williams

p.s. - Yes I needed to extend Audrey's dress to create space for the type...
p.p.s. - What is "my huckleberry friend"??

Saks Fifth Avenue

Saks Fifth Avenue always have interesting window displays - very artsy, innovative, and fun. I also love their campaigns and designs for their shopping bags. They are very memorable pieces.



Marian Bantjes's "Want it" campaign seemed to be a great success. She's amazing!
