A Weekend Before School

Its been a while since my last posting. what can i say? I've been busy with school. Its been a good weekend up to now, it started with various performances from the San Francisco Outside Lands (Music & Arts Festival) among them was Radiohead, The Black Keys, and Cold War Kids which i could listen from the comfort of my own home.

Today I want to present a re-design i did for an existing brochure at SFSU Cesar Chavez Student Center. The brochure was re-design for the Richard Oakes Multicultural Center. This project was meant to demonstrate my grasp and understanding of design elements and the principals of design for a job interview at CCSC.

I wanted to improve and simplify the existing design that would demonstrate the goals and values of CCSC. It would speak about the man who it was named after, Richard Oakes and still represent the goals and values of CCSC. I felt the color and text layout of the brochure were obstructing. The information wasn't easy to find. The text would disappear in low light areas.

The choices i made were to connect Richard Oakes to CCSC. First, the color choices were to limit the amount of colors used. Colors that would represent Richard Oakes and CCSC. I used Red and Blue. Red, associated with courage, the courage it took Richard Oakes to occupy Alcatraz Island. Blue associated with calm and peaceful. The text was edited down to be less repetitive and easier to find information needed.

It was a good practice project to work on and think about design choices.

This is the existing design for the Richard Oakes Multicultural Center. (Inside)(Outside)

Almost the last day

Its almost the last day of work, I start doodling like their is no tomorrow. I hope i finish my school work.

I Was Born Today

Its yet another year. Its my birthday once again. I wanted to thank my mom for giving life.

I'm not the most productive person on a everyday basis but on this day i managed to create an image that identifies and symbolizes Nebula 4's mission as a designer and artist. "Thinking outside the box," a philosophy i have adopted to distinguish my work from the millions of artists found around the world. Not to constrain the work by any kind of boundaries but to tear through from its limitations like trees breaking through paved streets.

I like trees. I would look good on a T-shirt

In a yearly ritual of my birthday, the film i choose this year was Iron Man. What can i say about it? I recommend it. I must admit, i was a partial Iron Man fan because its references to Black Sabbath's song Iron Man. This film made me love comics all over again.

The purpose for creating this poster was a remembrance of good times. Its for one of the band members(Allison Goffman) of Morning Spy a indie pop band. The place of performance and date are fictitious but check out their music. Great music.
