Panel Discussion

the event is a great way for emerging graphic designers to get an idea of what its like out.

The speakers are csun alumni having graduated only a year or two ago. we got to hear first hand what to expect (long hours) and what is expected (some of the work was amazing).

there were 3 speakers who did design for 3 almost completely different industries. It was good to see the variety of available work out there. there was Dominique who worked for an online digital pet website, another speaker was Theresa who did a lot of entertainment/ key art work. she had a really nice packaging piece for 007 Quantum of Solace. The best speaker there was Max from Hamagami & Carroll. His presentation was good because he showed us the process and the evolution of his designs from when he graduated to where he is now. He was very friendly and sociable and you could get a good depiction of how it is in the life as a designer. I wished the other speakers showed their work from school as well.

and of course the free pasta and salad was good.

conceptualizing: Irish Spring

i was going for shapes that were more masculine as well as easier to hold and use.

first was a representation of an axe head. i thought that shape would be really interesting.

second implies the shape of a gold brick without being obvious.

third was just a different shape i came up with but i don't think it will work.

logo. i wanted to abbreviate brand kind of like what treasure island did in vegas. they took an old name and image that was very specific and made it fresh and cool turning it into TI.

i think irish spring doesn't speak to the consumer like it did when it started. to capture peoples attention the brand must evolve into a hip cool brand that targets their audience.

feedback.... thanx

COMP style for apple software

logic is a music production software. i used the idea of sound waves, LPs, speakers, the rings concentrate the concept to the center while the outer rings disperse the "sound" out for others to hear.

Final Cut is an editing program. i used the wave shape from a film strip. i wan to show more motion than it looks like now. also the editing cuts are show in 3 levels with the longest being the final product (the bars also represent the interface of the program).

Aperture is a photo editing program. my concept was light. like a prism the camera take light in and captures and image/light to be spit back out. what you see is altered from the original image.

this is a very simple look. the logos and type aren't where i want them to be so please leave some feedback. thanx
