still working on my bow.



less infinity.

new color choices


The reds I chose have a romantic feel, they connote love, lust, beauty, kisses... overall romance.



The purples also have a beautiful, romantic feel.



The browns I originally had were muddy and seemed too nature-like, so I found a brown that looked more skin color, which has a different connotation.



This green does have a nature feel too it, but i feel that it's cleaner.

color crit.

My colors need some repair. I was going for a vintage, victorian mood, but the colors i chose ended up looking too nature-like.
I'm going to change my idea to look more modern, since my icons are more modern.

look at this. :)


It's icons making an icon. :O
O SNAP!





Take off your pants and jacket. BLINK!

What i turned in as my finals...





crit notes:

type legibility. thicken up letters. try to integrate type w/ image.. don't just place it on there.
abc logo- fog can't see b.
think about mounting differently.

flash- make fog legible.. make dark legible.. it can be a little over 5 seconds...
some things are going too fast.
