back to pushing pixels

Honestly and sincerely speaking, I've missed doing graphic design. And the past few tasks assigned to me for my project really got me back to it once again.

Playing around with fonts, colors, shapes, shades, transparency settings, stock photography, and other image/graphic manipulation software and techniques seem to teach me that the skills and talents given to me by God is supposed to be harnessed and used.

If I have kept quiet when our group was facing certain design and publicity needs, this skill set of mine would have not be further developed and our company's (fictitious one, though) image would have been less professional.

Nuff said...here's what I did the past week for design and publicity...





Now, I'll be working on the "company's" website....

Starbucks Tumbler Design 1

Oh, yeah...in Korea I bought this tumbler which has a screw-cap at its base to allow me to slot in my own designs. I thought it was cool to put my graphic design skills back to play...haha.

So, this is what I've came up with. Used mainly Illustrator. Do expect more designs to come, as the heavenly Father pours out His inspiration into me. =)

Paint Splat 2

White space for everyone!

Urban Resonance

Embracing the street life.

Something greyscale for now. This piece was conceived purely by the grace of God. I was sourcing for images and photos to manipulate and had some difficulty in doing so.

Played around with the images I found to be suitable but stumbled here and there - designer's block, that is.

I felt like halting this project and doing something more constructive, but I stubbornly played around with different styles. What a rough design journey.

And...here it is.

Impending Doom

Minimalism - with space for icons.

Let the Music play

Third creation - after inspiration and perspiration.

The Noise in the House

Second creation. Just trying out some new and used-before styles and the combination of them.

Paint Splat

Here's the result of playing around with Photoshop. Vector art. Simplicity and minimalism.
