232 multi-design class reflections

Looking back at my work this semester,i can say that i'm proud of the work I've done and its been fun and interesting to jump around all different programs, which i like and learn new programs and techniques like in flash and garage band. Overall had a good experience and did good work which my grade reflects and just continue to hone my skills,talent and style.Batman would be proud.

proj.4 update/thoughts

Hitting the home stretch on the project and the cd is done and the front cover is 98% complete and the back inside cover is nearly there. Just have to focus on back cover and inside back and i should be good.The only issue I'm having is the sizing and the back cover placement of pics but those are easy problems to deal with. Now all have to do is finish well on the home stretch and do work I'm capable of.

cool covers pt.6

This is the cover for dead rising 2. When you see this cover you know what to expect in this game. The logo with the las vegas/casino type feel tells you what type of place the game is set in and the cover art is pretty cool and the back cover is nice because it doesn't throw all this info in your face,it just gives you all few points and some screens and its all space out nice and just nice to look at.

 

back cd design

This a back cd design that is a little odd. Though i like that there trying something different,the curved text just doesn't work for me. Not just it's hard to follow but the times are a little hard to line up with the songsand i don't want to carefully trace to see how long the song is. This falls under the better luck next time category.

cd covers pt.4

This cd cover is simple but not plain and does a good job of having limited amount of action but still nice to look at. Though i think the white text could be a little brighter since it does get lost a little but is a nice font and goes well with the color stripes across the text. This is just an example of how to make a simple but still appealing cover.

cool art pt.4

This artwork is from another medal of honor game. What makes this cool is that its set in the pacific which isn't always talked about as much as the war in Europe and the green is really nice and gives it that unique feeling of jungle warfare and the sun peering through the trees is nice.

cool art pt.3

This artwork is for medal of honor: frontline for the ps2 and what i like about this is the contrast to the red mist and it pops out really nice with the rest of the piece being in black and white.plus it just has that epic feel to it and maybe that soldier took it down and is signaling the job is done and come get him. Overall just a cool piece of art.

cd covers pt.3

This album cover i believe is for the police (don't know if its legit, probably is but don't really care to find out). It's a simple cover with just the 3 cities and the country and year and its nice with the pics of each city and the police logo over is cool but would have been nice if city names color matched or were over pics and the band name is where the city names are, to me that would be better and if it said it was live because its not clear whats on the cd. Its a simple clean cover that is nice despite flaws.

cd covers pt.2

Another student design and i believe from the same artist/designer. Again unique color palette and the light effect is pretty cool as the lights are varied in brightness and just gives it a nice look. The designs and drawings are unique, though I wonder if there is a actually reason for them and you can't read or see band name anywhere and unless your a super popular band or iconic band then you need band logo or name somewhere. Overall a nice take on cd covers.

cd covers

This is a student design for an album and its pretty cool with some unique color choices. Its defiantly something that catches your eye with the sunset color of the background and the pink text pops out well of it. The graphics are unique and have a unique vibe to them and the smoke I noticed is probably the band name but it could be cleaned up a little more sense some might wonder what it is and is it important.

proj.4 update/thoughts

Finishing up the cd, just some minor adjustments but it looks nice. The front cover is pretty much done like the cd design, just some minor adjustments. The inside cover is coming along, just trying to use the space wisely since it just missing a few things. The back is coming along but having some trouble where to position things in terms of pics and text. The back inside is coming along slowly just wondering how the cd fits into the box but once I figure that out it should be easy street.

cool covers pt.5

This cover is for ratchet and clank:going commando for the ps2. This cover has a almost glossy/shine finish to it and a nice touch with the hole in the wall and the fire from the gun still burning and the blown up hole in the wall continues on the back which is nice touch, since sometimes company's don't always do that. Though I wish the logo was bigger on cover so that for those who don't know what it is can see it clearly.

cool covers pt.4

This cover is for driver 2 for the ps1. This is a simple cover with a simple character and background with a detailed pic of car. It's a simple but nice cover that gets the job done. The tagline is nice and adds a little background and what you will be in the game. overall just a solid cover.

cool covers pt.3

This cover is for the original medal of honor for ps1.What I like about this cove is that its simple and badass and doesn't try to hard, just a solider pose, barbed wire and basic background and that's it and that;s is drawn and not rendered or anything which gives it a different then most game covers, since most are just rendered in some way. What I like most that the cd and the artwork behind it match each other and the artwork on the inside goes across the both sides and just gives it that extra something that makes you stop and look at it.

cool covers pt.2

This cover is for metro 2033. What I like about this cover  is that it just looks good and the cracking, fogging up effect that it has ties into the game and the font choice is nice and defiantly get a Russian vibe from it.Also the manual that comes with it looks like the one in the game which is another cool tie in. Though the sideways text isn't something  that I particular like but it doesn't take away from it and it isn't the only text on there,so it is not as a big deal.

cool cd designs pt.2

This is another design that utilizes the middle circle as part of the design as two "things" are playitng tic tac toe. The black circle around the clear circle is a nice touch and something that could have been easily overlooked. I don't understand why there playing on burning matches but it does a something extra to the design.

cool cd design

This cd design is probably just a design but its a nice spin on cd design. It does a nice job of using the middle circle as a part of the design which is used that much on cd designs. Its simple but different and makes you stop and look at it. Though not a big fan of the green but its not enough to ruin it for me.

cool cd cover and design

This cover and cd design is for the fallout 3 soundtrack of GNR. They made the cd and cd cover look like a vinyl from the time period and gave it the look of vinyl while not being vinyl. The cover has a worn out look to it without being too much and looking nice.Overall just a nice example of good aesthetics on a promo cd and cd cover.

proj.4 thoughts/update

Just about finished with the cd, just some minor adjustments and it should be ready to go. The rest of it is coming together, just the back and behind cd need to be made/developed but shouldn't be too hard because I already know the ascetic since it has to all go together with vid and kiosk. Just a matter of putting it together
