Evil Empire

Wow. It has been a hot minute since I’ve last posted. By now I’m all finished with my print design certificate and well into web design. I haven’t had much to post lately because we haven’t been creating much of our own designs - until now we haven’t really known how - but this is my final project for this class!

This is a version of CSS Zen Garden. The idea is to style the same html in your own way with CSS. For the background design I had help from the wonderful tutorials at Spoon Graphics. I am still trying to shore up my photoshop skillz.

I also have a couple freelance projects going on right now - so hopefully more to post soon!

It was brought to my attention (again) that I never update. Here is the front of a postcard I did for a prepress exercise.

…and the back

This is the outside spread.

So I was going to try and spread out my updates, but I can’t help myself. This is a newsletter project for the National Gallery of Art. For portfolio purposes, I wanted the postcards and newsletter to relate. Hopefully that is obvious. 

Also, you need to imagine the newsletter folded like a book and then into quarters. This is the inside spread.

This is the fourth and final postcard.

This is the back of each postcard/mailer.

Here is a postcard series we did for the National Gallery of Art. The goal of this exercise was to learn how to artfully execute a data merge into a design, so that you can create a series with the same layout.
