project idea

I realized during this trip that I have nothing to promote myself with. So that is what my final project is going to be.

- design my own website

- redesign business card (first one sucked)

- personal brand (logo) whatever you want to call it

- there was something else I had but cant remember right now

I know that I wont be able to have all of them finished by the end of class, but it's a start that will be finished......eventually

Photo Book

So,
For the project proposal I was thinking about making a photo book, but trying to make the design fresh and reinvent it in a way by incorporating various NYC, USC and Kodak (it's a film company, in case you forgot) imagery. This would contain about 15-20 prints of a larger size than you'd expect (I just may print 11" X 14", watch out!). I would then brand it with my re-designed...brand. What do you think?
P.S.-It's a brand that I have already designed, and have incorporated it as a personal crest of sorts. Alia knows about it. Ask her. She loves to talk.

Sarah's Project Idea

I have two ideas, and I would like to do both.

During the trip I realized the importance of branding. Thus, my first idea if to rebrand myself. I currently do not have a personal logo or anything, so I would like to design one for myself.

During my first time to Soho, I discovered the character Fifi Lapin at a LeSportSac store. As I looked at the catalog, I remember thinking to myself, "I would love to create a character like Fifi!" I then had the idea of designing my own character and creating a story about the character's adventures in New York. I began sketching my illustrations, and I am still developing the story. Hopefully it'll turn out well!

NYC Design Project Idea

I can’t stop thinking and talking about how amazing, helpful and inspirational this trip was. I guess I need o put it on the blog now. But as for the Final project-

 

I’d like to make a Scrapbook consisting of images, souvenirs, Pamphlets that we collected during out trip. I always make scrapbooks for the places I visit- including air tickets, and hotel luggage cards. So similarly I want to make something that gives out the feel of how my trip was and what amazing things I learnt!

 

Basically a summary of the whole trip!- In an art work.

 

Let’s see.

KP's project idea

Like everyone else, I am still debating about my project...

1. I would update my website and clean up my portfolio.

2. After the enamel workshop and the craft video, I realized how much I miss the crafty things I use to do - ie: embroider and sew. For this idea, I would create some cool crafty things, but in my style, so probably not appropriate for the Martha submission.

3. Make a zine that either covers me and my art or the NY trip.


Hmmmm, maybe I will do a combination of these ideas. I don't know.

Project idea

I'm thinking of rebranding the Metro. New York rivals London for ease
of use but finding the damn entrances was tedious because their "M"
logo isn't distinguishable against all the visual noise. In London
there's no mistaking where the Tube is. Plus the identity seemed to be
inconsistent and out of date--kind of embarassing for the grand NYC.

Did anyone pick up any Metro print materials there? I didn't so all I
would have to go by is the website.

The Best Project Idea Ever!

I'm still debating about my project.

Originally, I was thinking about really just hammering out my leave-behind and spiffying up my portfolio and stuff.

Then I started thinking more about New York... and I'm pretty inspired right now to redesign Tropicana. I feel inspired to DO it. But as of right now, I have no inspirations as to HOW I would redesign it.

Still, I've finished a carton of juice in 2 days so I can tear it down and see how they build the box. So I guess that's a good start.

John (ooo mystery! which John was it?!) suggested that I rebrand Pepsi because it's SOWEET.

I hate Pepsi. I hope their branding kills them and makes everyone drink Coca-Cola. That would make the world a much better place. Man, I just figured out that Coca-Cola leads to world peace. Yay!

P.S. The juice was Florida's Natural. It's the bomb.
