Preliminary Work

Here are my preliminary sketches for the main project.



Wasn't quite sure how to use this idea.  Just some ideas running through my head.



Another idea.


Decided I liked the logo on the right and am going with the design for my project.  I thought the deers antlers presented or served (almost like on a tray) whatever was on the top of them.  I thought it would be good for the bar and restaurant too.  See below.  


The restaurant and bar designs.  I thought I would carry the deer through all of them.  

Here is as far as I got in Illustrator turning my sketch into a vector path after I scanned and placed in Illustrator to work on using the pen tool.  More work to be done for sure.

     I decided to do an album filled with inspirational music.  I will be using all of my own photos so I will be working in photoshop first.  I think I have my grid pretty well set, but nothing is set in stone. I have all my photos picked out.   I will be adding some quotes and some poetry.  I am not sure what text I'm going to use and am still looking.  I want something soothing and energetic at the same time. Don't know if that's possible, but I'll know it when I see it.  My only concern is that it might be a little boring.  I might have to add others things to my design if the photos themselves don't end up having good design elements.  I'll see when I get there.

        I chose to do an inspirational CD.   I used my own photographs that I took myself on every page.   I used Adobe Photoshop on some of them.   I chose photographs that had a lot of light in them in keeping with the theme and title, Out of the Dark…Into the Light . The CD was created in Adobe InDesign.   I used a font called Segoe Script as I thought it was soothing and easy to read.  The following are the places that I took the photographs I used for this assignment.   Front Cover – Camp Huntington, Raquette Lake, NY in the Adirondacks.   I recently went to a residency class there through Empire State College. Page Two – Inside the Tower of London.   London, England. Page Three – Lake Lucerne in Lucerne, Switzerland.   Page Four – White Flowers taken at New York State Fair Horticultural Show, Syracuse, NY.   Page Five – Up in the Swiss Alps on the way to Stanserhorn Mountain Pea...

Logo's and Business Cards M2 Part 2

Image
     Here are my three logo designs and my business card.   I thought that because most likely the Inn is in the woods, I would give my design  a rustic feel, but at the same time be somewhat classy.   The idea of the deer is that the antlers serve to the public whatever is above them.   I hand sketched my designs and turned them into vector’s which took a very long time.   A lot of what I did was trial and error and hopefully I will be able to produce something more quickly with practice.   I learned so much with this assignment.        As far as the colors I used, I naturally made the deer brown and per our assignment I wanted to show a highlight of the Inn during the fall season, so I added the leaves and colored them with fall colors using the gradient tool.   I added the river at the bottom of the main logo because the Inn is on the Hudson River and I also referenced that on the business card w...
