Toying



Just trying another way to incorporate my lovely logo.

I know I can save it!



I definately understand about the previous typeface being inappropriate. I liked that it was playful, but I see how it can distract from the "pretty" factor. I really like this new type treatment. I've expanded upon the bee line to really incorporate the logo instead of just having it sitting there at the bottom.

another color option



further exploration....

Revision


Cut some stuff back, used some restraint, tried to bring in the logo. I think a little more fine tuning and it could be headed in the right direction.

Tenative 8.5 x 11



I've made a few changes to this already. but here it is!
I've been wanting to use a bunch of scanned in/ hand done stuff in this class all semester. It was too much when I was playing around with stationery, but now the time has come. Hurray!


Haha! I just realized I forgot about the text addition. Whoopsies!

Chip Kidd is known for his work in the design and literary worlds. His book jacket designs for Alfred A. Knopf (where he has worked since 1986) have helped spawn a revolution in the art of American book packaging. In 1998 he was made a member of the Alliance Graphique Internationale, and in Fall 2003 Newsweek included him in its first-ever issue devoted to design. "The Cheese Monkeys" (Scribner, 2001), Kidd’s first novel, was a national bestseller as well as a New York Times Notable Book of the Year. His second novel, "The Learners," was published February 2008. This event is free and open to the public, and a book signing will follow the lecture. Free parking available on site.

A student in my history class alerted me of this event. I saw him last year and he is absolutely hilarious.
And it's free!

Letterhead I totally forgot about




I did these last night and somehow forgot that I had done any schoolwork at all...
I thought a nice straight line could play up the gentle curves of the logo? instead of perhaps distracting?
yeah?

Continuation



I went this route because of a comment I got about the corner border/ decoration seeming to lead into nowhere. I also did this because I've been avoiding this option but it's remained in the back of my head. Now it's released.

More letterhead work! AHH!



When I opened this one up in photoshop, it seemed to cut off some of the white space at the top. So if the logo looks too close, it's not.
