Final Print Project

This is my t-shirt design, for my friend's site, that is going to be printed on the first run of t-shirts. I'm sure there will be multiple renditions.



This piece was not intended for print, but for the banner of his site(he didn't want the ".com" in the banner). It shows the versatility of vector images. The original files allow the artwork to be scaled to any size and used in multiple compositions.

Sick Child

Last week, my grandmother was in the hospital for a heart attack. She had to have triple bypass surgery. She seems to be doing bettter. However she is still in the hospital.
Mason (my son) has been sick. My grandmother has been our babysitter for the last 4 years. So.......I have noone to watch Mason. I am stuck here at the house for now. I would much rather be leaving for Harriman in the next hour and a half, than be awake since 6:20 and already worrying about missing. Unfortunately, with this sick child I have no choice. I would appreciate any notes, or highlights on todays class and our assignments, if anyone has time to send them my way...@ curtis@brushyoureyes.com .
I will erase this post today. Just wanted to let you all know why I'm not there.

This project is long overdue. I thought taking the pictures would be the hardest part... Oh no, getting them off my phone was the big hurdle.

The theme was "Things I find in my yard." The only one that was set up was the "K." It's two leaf stems...

HRS 15 logos

This is one out of two that I did, I did not have many ideas for this logo. These are the only two ideas that I had with this logo. The strips are suppost to resemble to radio waves.

The second one, it is just with more curved lines going off the edges.

Newest Version

This is not a target. When this is made into a video file, the rings should move out constantly, getting smaller as they move out.

Logo-a-gogo

My vision for the final animated version would be for the logo to rotate starting at the 15, down to the RSCC, and to the right to the Harriman following the white stripes.

USB Recovery

So, after much Youtube research, I found a free download from recovering-deleted-files.com. I haven't registered the software (Data Recovery Pro), but I was able to preview the 19 FILES I had saved on it. I could preview the graphic design images perfectly...poster and all. I guess I'm just concerned about my privacy if I choose to give them my name and email address to register it, but I really don't want to retype some of my notes. Any suggestions?

Fox Future Heat Logo

I was hoping to have more time on this but the dead line for the contest was ending today. I really liked my ideas, I wish I saw this contest much sooner then later. It makes me sad that I will have to stop on this one where it is I will keep working on this one because I really like it alot and if I don't win the contest (which I think i won't) I will keep this one for myself or sell it to someone else. :) Discription of the contest is below:

Fox Future Heat

Alphabet

I ended up with an industrial, building materials (metal, wood, wire, etc.) themed alphabet.

I'm to a stopping point with this logo, however, I feel that it's still fairly early to call it finished. I like the typography and the tomato. I'm still playing with the composition though.

I like the layout for a web page graphic. I wanted something that could stand at the top of a website and be visually interesting while still very clean. The tones of red are comfortable, but the tomato itself feels somewhat active. The deep gray adds some interest. I think black is great, very clean, but I think it's one of those very expected colors... So I'm using the gray to kind of play off that expectation a little bit. I want it to, very subtly, involve the viewer... This logo shouldn't stand out very starkly, but it should stand strong...

That's what I'm going for anyway.

here's the brief:
http://99designs.com/logo-design/contests/design-fun-zesty-logo-startup-brand-55995/brief

Info: Urban Critters
The company offers pet services; Predominantly Pet minding (Holiday Service) in your own home - cats, dogs, birds etc.
dog walking and dog training

Suggestions;
Would like something original, please no more clipart! I would like an abstract or pictorial image which will stand out by itself, an image where people know its Urban Critters without having to read the name.

Brief Overview

We had customers before we even had a name or website. The reason is why we think we're also unique. We do financial and business consulting for many types of businesses but we do not assing the work to any one person, it's collectively addressed by a team of 5 professionals. We only take on 3-5 clients per year because it allows us to focus. It's called Fox Walk because a fox walks econimically, efficiently, and quickly all while being aware of all surroundings.

Brand Name

Fox Walk is the name of the company. www.foxwalkllc.com

Target Audience

Funded startups and small companies with 1-10M in revenue.

Requirements

Have fun with this and be creative. We really like our name FoxWalk and what it stands for, but it is kind of disruptive to a traditional consulting idea... which we like but still need to remain professional. Our logo should reflect our name and why we named it Fox Walk but also reflect that we are professional and can compete with the best consulting firms that are out there. We are younger, more nimble and offer at least a team of 5 professionals to each client's needs.

Candy alphabet

In the beginning finding the letters were very easy till I found out that I could not get a letter V and Q and L were also difficult to find. I found most of them so I am pretty proud of myself for that. The theme for this alphabet was suppose to be all candy bars then I changed it to just anything that has chocolate in it. Because I could not find a candy bar that had Q in it or V. Hopefully this doesn't look too bad. I know that mine is not the best alphabet but I did have fun and tried my best. :) Thanks.

Logo Project

Info: Logo icon (mascot) needed. Our client is a professional cleaning company (mainly focusing on corporate clients) and they want to rebrand their look and feel. The mascot should look fresh, modern and incorporate their industry (cleaning) and their core values (quality and professionalism).

Logo Project

We are a small boutique Toronto bakery that specializes in cupcakes. We bake because it's our passion... The personality we are trying to get across is - cute, fun, and perhaps a little bit whimsical because who doesn't love cupcakes?!

The name "The Itty Bitty Bakery" is required in some form in the logo, with the "THE" part not featured as prominently. We are looking for a logo representing some form of a cupcake. We love chibi, japanese cartoon style, pastel as well as bright colours (especially purple!) - think big eyes (not human, more cartoon), rosy cheeks and the like. We aren't too particular about the writing style, it just has to work with the overall design of the logo. Keep in mind that it has to be easily translatable because it will be on stickers, etc. Have fun with it!

Alphabet Project by Curtis

HANA GRILL

I wanted something different.

Our customer base shop at high end malls. A typical mall would have either a Nordstroms, Bloomingdales, Neiman Marcus, or Saks Fifth Avenue. Our customers are used to eating Japanese food and could distinguish between quality and run-of-the-mill sushi rolls.

Hey guys! I promise I'll get some more of my artwork up and less of these articles, but I just thought I'd post this to encourage positive thinking when it comes to our ideas.

These young entrepreneurs didn't let negative people and creative obstacles stand in thier way. Who knows, maybe some of us might appear on one of these lists in the future.

I also thought it was cool that the founder of 99 Designs is on the list, since we're doing logo design:

Red 3 Design by Curtis Wilson

Company name: Red 3 Media Inc.

About the company:

Red 3 Media Inc. is a full service marketing company. We provide goal oriented marketing with measurable results for small to medium businesses through multiple media including TV commercials, direct mail and creative social placement.

About the project:

We are looking for a logo that can be easily identified. Our company name lends itself to a highly creative yet simple logo. We would like a logo that is easy to identify whether it is on a billboard or the bottom of a postcard project we run. The word "Red" does not have to be in the logo. We are open to all ideas and do not have a specific style or idea to start with.

Help, Design Dilemma!

Okay, here's the story. I went to the UPS store yesterday evening to print out my Imagination Library poster. Normally, I go to Staples but I figured I could save time and gas going up the street to get the job done. So I tell the clerk what I need and she pops in my jumpdrive (the one I always use in class) into the computer and POOF....ALL MY FILES ARE MAGICALLY GONE! They were there fifteen minutes before I arrived when I was using it on my laptop at home.

I thought this was totally random and strange, but figured that maybe something was up with THEIR computer and decided not to panic until I tried it out back home. That's when I panicked...not working at home either. So I called today to tell them the story and they said that nothing of the sort had happened before. Thank goodness I saved the file to my laptop's desktop and got my other design work from this blog.

My history and geology notes are gone, but I've already taken those first exams and have hard copies of the notes in my folders. Hadn't printed some of latest lecture notes off yet so I'll have to retype them over break. I got lucky this time, but I'll definitely be extra careful in the future. I just have one question: DO ANY OF YOU KNOW ANY SAFE, FREE FILE RETRIEVING SOFTWARE I COULD DOWNLOAD TO SEE IF I CAN GET MY STUFF BACK? PLEASE, PLEASE LET ME KNOW!
