Some stuff I have been playing with...

Here is a test for a 'brand' of mirrors into windows. This is a composium of various images I scanned in last week. I'm not crazy about this, but I like the style, I have been playing around with the various combinations of images to find the style. I want slightly dark, I see vignette. I want to do something similar to the 'ideation', with collage elements.

I was playing scrabble on friday night, and I thought of using the letters in my piece...

I made my own, although I hate how similar they are. But I do think it would work well in the piece....

From what I take from the quote "the point of education is to make mirrors into windows' in regard to graphic design, is that we are able to not just see a reflection, like most people, but see opportunity. In this sense I am thinking of making a slightly abstract piece, it will relate to graphic design, but not obviously. Using the signs and symbols of graphic design (kerning, typefaces, layouts, rulers, ect.) that come out of everyday objects.


The other pieces are variations trying to find a 'dark' way of doing it. I am not finished in the least with the idea, but here is my beggining.



I have been trying to find a graphic style for the piece, here is some stuff that I have been making the past couple of days...
