Hey guys I’m in a contest for Orisue, and everyone in the contest needs to get as many views for this video as they can. I LOVE ORISUE. So I plan on winning this, no one will take this away from me, especially if you help me =) just take the time to watch this short clip of some sweet skateboarding from the Orisue Crew

LOVE THAT O!

Yea it is fun! Time however, time is what i wish i had more of when creating the book.

So the story behind the story? I had to make a book of type exercises based on the typeface Frutiger. The book had over 70 pages with 60 exercises but those are for another day. I took process pictures while making the book from scratch. Now theres one person I have to take the time to thank, Jo Tran aka kc and joJO aka birds with turds. Couldn’t have done this without all your advice and money saving tips. Thanks Jo! You’re the best =).

And so it begins, enjoy.

LOOK ITS TARA UMANA

So finals are over with, I will have time to sleep!! And update this site with some things I’ve been doing.

So one class I took was draw and shoot, basically a drawing class. For part of the final we had to put a book together of all our work from class, I ended up scanning many of my sketches for the book and when i put them next to each other they looked pretty interesting. I can’t draw people well at all but haha these are just funny. (various drawings from models in class.)

have fun kids!

After that first part we split it into individual projects, now we had to create our own posters. These were the first 6 concepts I came up with based on music (old jazz covers), how Clarendon is used with food and finally the overall shape and feel of the letters and the forms they create.

After the class critique I found that most of these work better in black and white, and the class ended up liking my last one the most, and the food idea second. So for the next week I began playing with those two concepts and developing them even further, but thats for part 3. I will be busy with finals so won’t be able to post anything for a while, have fun.

This is in an attempt to get Ivan the nerd Cruz to start his blog.

At school working on our typography project late in the library, we discover that Ivan carries the craziest things in his backpack.

The project we were working on was a type poster/presentation for the typeface Clarendon.

We did a wanted poster, featuring … US. The photos:

Oh, Art Center.
