Hemp Ale, Recreational Work

Here we have, some of my recreational Corporate Identity for Alcoholic Beverage.
I had a lot of fun doing this, it motivated me to do more art work the next day. I enjoy using Monochromatic color scheme however eventually I shall incorporate my work with Complimentary color mix as well. This company initially asked designers in past to redesign their packaging having in mind older adults age range of 25-30 that have a healthy life style so I came up with this.

This are sketches for the logo i came up with before hitting up a computer.











Out of all those this was my decision, I used my best judgment by picking something that has relaxing flow and that older adults can relate to.















And here we have final Vector logo.
I enjoyed making this especially working with textured lettering.














Here are sketches of Packaging stickers unfortunately i didn't pick any of them,
yet they did help me brain storm and achieve my final piece.




This is my design solution I came up with. This beverage is focused for serious focused and laid back individuals in their late twenties and mid thirties so i had that on my mind and added some really dry flavor to it.

And of course just to get a right feel it has to be presented with one tasty beverage.



Until next time people keep it busy: read, invent, go out ,
smile and enjoy life.

Feel Free to Comment and Critique.

FOG

Yes, I am in my design mode again, I got influenced from something I saw few days ago, so I composed this piece in order to see how far I can push and I must say my technical skills are not as rusty as they use to be.
So here ya go folks not for nothing but you must say that my composition skills are getting better from day to day.

Enjoy.

Happy Belated New Years and detail about the end of Myspace

Hello it's been a while since my last post. I must say i am free now. I got rid of all of unnecessary SO CALLED " FRIENDS" sites that been stealing my precious time and creativity away from me. I had few and they are all scrapped for my life. I feel like i was washed with a nice cold bucket of water and last night i bought a six pack to celebrate ending of these terrific distractions.

It started off years ago with friendster which was very primitive version of myspace noone cought on to it because of its terrible interface but when myspace came out that was like an explosion. Literally everyone was on it people stopped asking each other for numbers everyone was exchanging their myspaces adresses for while i tought I was part of this click, but then i came to realize; " Hmm If I am always on computer seeking to find people that I've just met last night what kind of social network am I buiding fictional or realistic"

People use to be way more social before myspace so I 've decided to scrap it out of my life. I think that there is conspiracy theory behind it. Its almost as if like government wants us to be on myspace and dull our brains with it while we sit home get fat eating big bags of chips, and dont do anything productive.

Thats it for now, step out make something
of life and put stop to new era of distraction and mind manipulation networks.

Beginning of New Epoch

Alright, We shall begin with this once again. So I didn't write in a while do to lack of interest of my blog for some reason not many people were reading however, at this point I don't mind since its recreational/inspirational tool for me, I don't need comments its good outlet for me to let out my feelings. Beginning of New Epoch

So the Updates in my life Since September this year are; I've started going to New Jersey City University to finish up my B.F.A in Graphic Design I've quit my job my last day is November 7Th and that's when new rejuvenation will kick in with me freelancing. I am also trying to boost up my productivity as much as i can for some reason lately I've been having hard time focusing not particularly with my work and school but with my personal goals and It shall change i promise ASAP.

Ive still got couple of art pieces to post I might as well just wait till week or two until i develop them further and than I can really post some of my production and creative pieces. So this was just follow up to few things that I am working on right I shall keep you updated as time progresses.

~Effigies Show in NYC~

Alright Punk rock Legends from Chicago played in Brooklyn last night. I only own one album by them; " Ink. It really got me exited and, blew my mind away so, I had to go see them. I didn't expect much from the show; today's youth barely bothers to check out real muscly talented punk bands. They just want to hear whats current and In Style yet it has no cultural value. Show was held at Southpaw Brooklyn,NY on 5th Ave in Park Slope.

I didn't expect it to be a big crowd at the show. It was mostly people in their late twenties, mid thirties and bunch of people in their forties, which I am glad to see that someone that age still goes back to their roots and listens to good music. Of course they started their set of with song called;"Below the Drop" and crowd kicked in right away it was great. They played several new songs which weren't so bad, I am about to buy their new album as soon as I get my next paycheck. Set lasted around forty five to fifty minutes, nobody I knew was there but I didn't mind. None of my friends bothered to come with me which doesn't really stop me from having a good time.

Ohhh PS:
Speaking of Lonelyness; When I first got at the venue around 9:00 pm Eastern NOBODY WAS THERE doors didnt even open up. I decided to play it Nick's style, I went to a super market and got three beers and called up my friend Jon Dahl. I figured he lived close by since neighbourhood looked familiar so it was worth a shot. He was glad to hear from me and let me drank at his place which i apricated since that saved me bunch of $$ which I saved instead of blowing fifty dollars on beer at the bar where I had noone to talk to.

Conclusion is here, Nick has seen: The Effigies, Got to hang out with his friends, and got WASTED .
HaHa the rest you know!
Have a great weekend people and Live your Life!

Nietzches Piece :)

Here ya go folks New work . Pretty much its self explanatory i don't feel like explaining my self right now. Enjoy!

Photographs Because I like it

So I haven't used my camera much.
Its a poor excuses for me as an graphic designer i should use it as much as possible. I am very picky about electronics and things, yet i shouldn't be. Having great equipment does make a difference but as an amateur photographer its always good to start off from the beginners lever and work your way up. I took these just to practice my manual settings and to really see how focal points look like without using flash or any auto selections.

I took these just to practice my manual settings and to really see how focal points look like without using flash or any auto selections. This was taken from a bus, on my way to work i really like this one. JFK Blvd in north Bergen has some real interesting buildings and Mausoleums perfect for taking Griddy and Historical images.










This Photo wasn't edited I left it just as it was taken. Usually i take my images through Camera Raw and Photoshop but i think this one is just perfect. I used a tip that I heard from a photographer before; "If you spot a interesting scene, Try to look at it with one of your eyes closed and then try to mimic your sight and take a photograph simular to your own view"







And the last of my images is people .As you can see I have hard time takeing photographs of people looking at me I always feel as if they will say something if I just snape a photo of them. So I usually take pictures of people from behind of from their side when they are talking to somebody. I have my own experiences as a years of being into punk rock of people takeng photos of me rudely without asking.I dont want to be that guy that ruins someones day just because of a single photo.

So yes thats it for today kids i hope i bored ya.
