Exit Project Ideas

This semester is my last (!!) in the graphic design program at UGA. Over the next three months I’ll be working on a final project to be presented at an Exit Show in May. So in addition to my normal posting, I’ll be documenting my progress here. It’ll help me explore my ideas, and hopefully you’ll find it interesting!

I’d love any feedback you care to give throughout the process! Here are some of my early ideas. 

1. Internet radio/smart phone app concept

      Elements:


2. Acne.org “The Regimen” acne care line redesign

  • Currently consists of a website (acne.org) that details an effective “Regimen” for acne discovered by an average guy
  • Site sells products needed for the Regimen, but also tells you what store-bought products (Neutrogena, Olay, etc) you would need to achieve the same results without ordering his products online
  • Idea is to create a branding and marketing campaign for his products to be carried in stores
  • Nature of the campaign would be humorous, frank, up-front, honest, simple, to-the-point - these are all elements of his approach and would be conveyed through the design

3. Lush Cosmetics store redesign

4. Woodstock School of Ballet

     Elements:


5. Vegan/vegetarian restaurant - branding/environmental design

     Elements:



6. Wine/beer/snack gift line

Really quick poster I threw together for our t-shirt contest. Don’t look at this in Chrome if you can help it! I haven’t figured out how to fix my color problem yet. Safari and Firefox = nice.

My completed digital photo illustration for a fictional publication called “Aura.” …I say “completed” because I have turned it in, but it’s not quite perfect. It will definitely be the victim of some further tinkering.

Tomorrow is the last round of critique for this annual report project. We started by drawing and simplifying everyday objects (my favorite was my keychain whistle), then using our object as a mark for a company’s annual report (I chose Human Rights Watch). 

I’m not used to 1) something so serious and “corporate” and 2) designing with orange (!), so this was interesting! This will all be folded into a nice little booklet, so, you know. Imagine it with folds. Now would be a great time for some Photoshop cover actions

…Aiyeeee, the orange looks really bad on the Google Chrome browser, at least for me. Try Safari!

My stop motion commercial for photography class. Rated PG-13 for an f-word word and some bunny lovin’. 

Just redid this spread from my Tie book because I was never happy with it.

Trying to make my graphic design resume more interesting. I’ve been staring at it for two hours and I just can’t seem to decide where to put the text, or whether or not it’s too cute. Any thoughts, classmates? Spivey? Peanut gallery?
