Critique March 21

Well this past week was a fun one design-wise. My six page feature with Kate came out looking cool on Thursday. This past weekend I got to design my first illustration. I used clip art and my newly refined Illustrator skills to come up with a pretty fun illustration for a space food story. I will have to post it soon. I have received a lot of positive feedback from it so far.
Also this week was our logo assignments. I spent a lot of this past week trying to finalize ten solutions for the Goatsbeard Farm logo. It was a good assignment as far as making us stretch our desiging muscles and get more creative with our solutions. I went for clean and sophisticated logos that incorporated the Goatsbeard flower. I liked my photo ones as well that had pictures of praries in the background.
I will post some of them as soon as I have pdf's ready.
For this week I am slaving away trying to get something up for my website. I have a working first page, but I still need to get some work samples up.I am sure once we go over them in class I'll have to make changes. But I am exciting about having a published website. This is a very cool assignment on lots of levels.
This weekend is spring break! so no features or short talk. But I will be back in action the second half of spring break to do short talk. I also have the Vox cover coming up 4/16. It is the music issue and we are in talks about possible solutions already. Preliminary thoughts think this cover might go photo or photoillustration. It realy depends on what the photographers bring back. But more on this experience to come.
