Show & Tell

I had to bring in a package that had a story to tell. I'm bring in a collectible jar of Mr. Peanut. "Who better to serve America's favorite peanuts than Mr' Peanut himself?"

Concept

Here's the cover of the latest issue of AFSCME Magazine. I thought it was a cool concept. It works.

Counters

This is an article I came across in Beyond Race Magazine. It's about the band Cubic Zirconia. I felt that just by filling in the counters of the typeface made the page more interesting.

Narrative

Im up to my usual Friday night routine; blogging before class in the morning. For this week's show and tell, we had to bring in something narrative. So I'm go to bring in a comic strip of Garfield. I'm not even too sure if this has anything to do with narrative.

More Typography

I was flicking through the AARP Magazine, since I'm preparing for retirement soon, and I came across some cool typography. I forgot what this particular type of typography is called but it is awesome.

Project three post card

For project three, I pretty much decided to start over. I wanted a more organic feel overall to the ad campaign. This is just the front of my postcard.

Interesting type

For this week's show and tell, I had to find some interesting typography.
