The Swell fellow has finally arrived.

Finally! I've been wanting to photo shoot this for so long I just got it done this morning. I still have to upload pages from my catalog though.

*Brief on project: This project was about creating a hypothetical film festival for our chosen director, I chose Mr. Frank Capra, a 1930s-1940s film director, most famous for his Christmas classic, It's a Wonderful life. For the festival we created the branding: Logo, Stationary, Color Palette, Photography/Illustration style, Language and typefaces. Then the event tickets, movie poster, catalog, schedule, I also did a trailer (extra points!) and other items (the list goes on to 16 items total) AND all those had to be prototyped and fit in a single box, container, whatever related to the director and his style, and supposedly should be a limited run, so not any container would do the trick. phew!

***That big black wooden box was a real pain to paint, I had originally bought it from a thrift store, peeled off the layers and layers of paper and glue, scrubbed, dried, painted it then glued in the graphic lining...I grew muscle after that!***

***All Illustrations used are borrowed from the J.C.Leyendecker book***

Thesis timeline.

I'm pushing to graduate by December, my thesis topic is still in it's fetus phase, I'm picking names for my lets call it "baby".

*A brief on my thesis topic: It will basically be an educational campaign, teaching little girls residing in the United States on the people of Islam, women in specific, not necessarily Arab; to try and eliminate negative stereotypes and judgements for the future.

Here's a map of the stages of development for this baby.

Alcatraz prison.

I visited Alcatraz last winter, For some reason I feel like going there every time it rains, although it's usually freezing out there when it is, even when it isn't!
