Hammer Press Printing Studio

Danger Dust

Thunder Strike.com




The Eye Center Logo 
The Purpose of this assigment was to make a fresh new brand image 

"Dr. Samir Sayegh wanted to rebuild The Eye Center brand image to position his practice for continual growth. The logo depicts the lower case “e” as a pupil and iris. The brand image was applied to signage, websites, business cards, advertising and other branding venues."


Career Skillet
 Thunderstrike was asked to design a name and logo for a website oriented to teens and young adults for careers and and employment education.

"The creative team researched and brainstormed over 50 names and variations before settling on “Career Skillet”. The idea came from the nature of the website being a complete resource on how to develop career skills, resume writing and  job searching techniques… a recipe book of tips.  Hence the cooking theme."

How people manipulated photography before photoshop

I decided this weeks blog should be about photoshop since our homework was manipulating a photo in photoshop. I stumbled upon this article about how people used to manipulate photography before photoshop was created! it is such an interesting thing to see how people used to do their creativity before all the nice programs helped us find an easier route.

here are just a few i had seen in the article.

Faking It: Manipulated Photography Before PhotoshopFaking It: Manipulated Photography Before PhotoshopFaking It: Manipulated Photography Before Photoshop MOMA; back in 2012 showed an exhibit showing photos that were manipulated before photoshop was ever invented. The host of this exhibit was none other than Adobe. The exhibition was the first to ever be devoted to doctored photography. Anywhere from hand painted, salt prints of the 1840s to pre-digital dreamscapes of the twentieth century.

The New International Poster Master: Felix Pfäffli

felix1
I chose this article because Felix Pfäffli uses minimum amount of tools at his disposal, he uses mainly type and color for his designs.
felix3my favorite of his designs is the "Mono Tales" poster, i love the way he made the poster look folded. The color was a great choice as well. The movement Felix uses in his work, keeps your eyes moving but youre never distracted by one specific thing.

Awesome Posters for movies & shows

I chose to talk about this because I really enjoy looking at movie posters, seeing the different ways you can tell a story before even going to watch it.

killing_them_softly_xlgI really enjoy this poster becuase of the 3 color design they did. I love the sillouette and there isnt very much in the poster it self. Just a gun, a pair of aviators and an american flag.

Great Logo Design from Studio Papa

I find that logo designs are fun to design. The way I see it, you see the personality of a company before you even walk in to it.
I found this article on HowDesign.com
the article was written by Amanda Aszman on August 7th 2014.





I enjoy this logo because it makes me think of a 1950's advertisement for a singer/songwriter.cool logo designs; Studio Papa

I also enjoy this one for the same reason, very oldies but still has lots of personality to it.

Shane Campbell Gallery

I chose to do an art gallery for this blog post because the homework assignment was about the Art gallery in Parkland. I chose Shane Campbell Gallery in Chicago, no particular reason just because it was close by, so if people actually wanted to go and check it out they wouldnt have to travel very far.

Taylor Design Creates Interactive Annual Report

I chose this design because it is not really normal for people to give an annual report in such detail or illustration creativity. This designers for this is a non profit segment of biopharmacutical company. The giving report is divided into four sections; medicine, community programs, time and skills and social enterprise. Each section includes statistics and interactive pages that readers can swipe through by clicking the arrows to the right and left of the pages.
